飞机除冰市场:现况分析与预测(2023-2030)Aircraft De-icing Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2023-2030) |
除冰过程通常使用除冰液或加热空气。除冰液被加热并涂在飞机的机翼、尾翼和其他关键表面上。除冰液含有乙二醇等化学物质,可以融化冰雪,使其更容易去除。
由于航空旅行的激增和航空航太业的成长,飞机除冰市场在预测期内呈现 4.19% 的稳定成长率。航空旅行的持续成长仍然是推动飞机除冰市场的最基本因素之一。国际航空运输协会(IATA)预测,到2024年,全球航空旅客数量将超过40亿人次。这种增长意味着对除冰解决方案的需求增加,以确保飞行安全,特别是在冬季天气恶劣的地区。此外,世界各地的航空当局也越来越多地执行有关飞机冰雪污染的安全法规。例如,美国联邦航空管理局 (FAA) 严格规定,如果飞机上有哪怕是最轻微的霜、雪或冰,飞机就不能起飞,因为这会严重影响空气动力学和升力。这些严格的安全协议使得破冰服务对航空公司的营运至关重要且不可协商,尤其是在寒冷地区。不遵守规定可能会导致严厉处罚、航班延误,甚至灾难性事故。因此,机场和航空公司正在大力投资高效能破冰技术、液体和基础设施,推动市场成长。
根据流体类型,市场分为 I 型、II & IV 型和 III 型。II 型和 IV 型在 2022 年占据市场主导地位,预计在预测期内类似的趋势将持续下去。这主要归功于这些流体的优异性能和环保特性。世界各地的监管和航空当局鼓励使用 II 型和 IV 型液体,以确保有效除冰并尽量减少对环境的影响。2023 年,一家大型流体製造商宣布推出新的 IV 型流体系列,该系列采用先进技术,可提高性能并最大程度地减少对环境的影响。
依设备类型,市场分为除冰车、清扫机等。破冰卡车将在 2022 年占据市场主导地位,预计在预测期内类似的趋势将持续下去。除冰车配备大型除冰液罐,可运送大量除冰液。容量的增加减少了频繁补货的需要,从而提高了营运效率并缩短了除冰程序的周转时间。此外,除冰车还配备了安全功能和系统,以确保参与除冰作业的工人的安全。
根据应用,市场分为商业和军用。2022 年的市占率由商业领域主导,预计在预测期内将呈现类似的趋势。推动该细分市场成长的关键因素包括空中交通量的增加和全球商用飞机销售的增加。此外,航空当局製定的严格法规和准则正迫使航空公司投资先进的破冰技术和解决方案。此外,对乘客安全和舒适度的日益关注促使航空公司优先考虑有效的破冰流程,以避免因恶劣天气而造成的延误和取消。
为了更深入瞭解飞机除冰市场,该市场已细分为北美(美国、加拿大、北美其他地区)、欧洲(德国、英国、法国、义大利、西班牙、欧洲其他地区)、亚太地区(中国、日本)根据世界其他地区(韩国、亚太地区其他地区)和世界其他地区的全球影响力进行分析。亚太地区幅员辽阔,气候带多样。日本、韩国和中国部分地区等北方国家经历了严酷的冬季,降雪量大,气温长期低于零度。另一方面,印度、尼泊尔等高海拔地区冰雪天气较多,为机场营运带来课题。不可预测的天气模式,例如意外的寒流和冻雨,也会影响该地区的其他地区。在如此多样化的条件下,需要强大的融冰系统来维持冬季运作。亚太地区是世界航空旅行的成长中心。作为世界上最繁忙的机场之一的所在地,我们看到廉价航空公司的迅速扩张,增加了航空旅行的机会。旅客数量的快速成长与寒冷季节融冰服务需求的增加有直接关係。对环保除冰液(例如甲酸钾和其他生物基替代品)的研究正在进行中,特别是在日本和韩国的机场。
市场上营运的主要公司包括Killfrost, General Atomics, Contego Aviation Solutions, BASF Corporation, Collins Aerospace, Rondell Bassel Industries Holdings B.V., Clariant AG, JBT, Dow Chemical Company, Vestergaard Company等。
Aircraft de-icing plays a vital role in aviation as it is responsible for eliminating snow, ice, or frost from the aircraft's surfaces to guarantee safe operation. Cold temperatures can cause precipitation like snow or rain to freeze on the aircraft, posing potential dangers during flight.
The de-icing process usually involves the use of de-icing fluids or heated air. De-icing fluids are heated and then applied to the wings, tail, and other crucial surfaces of the aircraft. These fluids contain chemicals like glycol, which aid in melting the ice and snow, making it easier to remove.
The aircraft de-icing market is growing at steady rate of 4.19% in the forecast period due to surge in air travel & growing aerospace industry. The relentless increase in air travel continues to be one of the most fundamental drivers fueling the aircraft de-icing market. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecasts global air passenger numbers to eclipse 4 billion in 2024. This growth, particularly in regions with severe winter weather, translates into a higher demand for de-icing solutions to guarantee safe flights. Moreover, aviation authorities worldwide have become increasingly rigorous regarding safety regulations surrounding ice and snow contamination on aircraft. For example, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) strictly mandates that aircraft cannot take off with even trace amounts of frost, snow, or ice build-up, as it significantly impacts aerodynamics and lift. These stringent safety protocols make de-icing services a vital and non-negotiable aspect of airline operations, particularly in cold climates. Failure to comply risks severe penalties, flight delays, or even tragic accidents. Airports and airlines are therefore investing heavily in efficient de-icing technologies, fluids, and infrastructure, propelling market growth.
Based on fluid type, the market is divided into type I, type II & IV, and type III. The type II & IV segment dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to show the same fashion in the forecast period. This is primarily driven by the superior performance and environmentally friendly characteristics of these fluids. Regulatory agencies and aviation authorities worldwide have encouraged the use of type II & IV fluids to ensure effective ice removal and minimize environmental impact. In 2023, a major aircraft de-icing fluid manufacturer introduced a new line of type IV fluids that employed advanced technology to improve performance and minimize the ecological footprint.
Based on equipment type, the market is divided into de-icing trucks, sweepers, and others. The de-icing truck segment dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to show the same fashion in the forecast period. De-icing trucks have large fluid tanks, allowing them to carry substantial amounts of de-icing fluids. This increased capacity reduces the need for frequent refills, leading to improved operational efficiency and reduced turnaround times for de-icing procedures. Additionally, De-icing trucks are equipped with safety features and systems to ensure the well-being of personnel involved in the de-icing process.
Based on application, the market is bifurcated into commercial and military. The commercial segment holds a significant market share in 2022 and is expected to showcase the same trend in the forecast period. The major factors contributing the growth of the segments includes the growing air traffic and the increasing sales of commercial fleet worldwide. Moreover, the strict regulations and guidelines set by aviation authorities regarding aircraft de-icing procedures have compelled airlines to invest in advanced de-icing technologies and solutions. Additionally, the growing focus on passenger safety and comfort has prompted airlines to prioritize effective de-icing processes to avoid delays and cancellations due to adverse weather conditions.
For a better understanding of the market of the aircraft de-icing market, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in countries such as North America (U.S., Canada, and Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, U.K., France, Italy, Spain, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, South Korea, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Rest of World. Asia Pacific's expansive geography encompasses diverse climatic zones. Countries in northern regions, such as Japan, South Korea, and parts of China, experience harsh winters with heavy snowfall and prolonged sub-zero temperatures. Meanwhile, high-altitude areas within countries like India and Nepal are prone to snowfall and freezing conditions, creating operational challenges for airports. Unpredictable weather patterns, including unexpected cold snaps and freezing rain, can also impact other parts of the region. These diverse conditions necessitate robust de-icing readiness to maintain flight operations during winter months. The Asia Pacific region is a global hub for air travel growth. It boasts several of the world's busiest airports and has witnessed a rapid expansion of low-cost carriers, increasing accessibility to air travel. This surge in passenger traffic translates directly to a heightened demand for de-icing services during colder months. The exploration of eco-friendly de-icing fluids, such as those utilizing potassium formate or other bio-based alternatives, is underway, particularly in airports within Japan and South Korea.
