Aircraft de-icing Market Trends

As environmental concerns continue to rise, there is a growing trend towards the development and adoption of environmentally friendly de-icing fluids. Research and development efforts are focusing on alternatives that are biodegradable, have lower toxicity, and are less harmful to ecosystems. The aviation industry may see increased regulatory pressure to shift towards greener de-icing practices, driving the market toward more sustainable solutions.

For instance, in November 2023, Helsinki Airport anticipated utilizing approximately 500 tonnes of recycled propylene glycol for de-icing this season, sourced from Clarian’s facility in Rauma, Finland. This recycled fluid adheres to the same standards as newly manufactured de-icing fluid, ensuring equivalent performance quality. With a commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2025, Finavia, the airport operator, aims to reach this milestone at Helsinki Airport by 2024. The airport's sustainable de-icing practices are further supported by the implementation of electric de-icing vehicles, contributing to its environmentally conscious initiatives.
