Anti-icing Coatings Market Segment Analysis – By Substrate Material

The metal segment held the largest share in the anti-icing coatings market in 2021 and accounts for around 30% of share in the global market. Anti-icing coatings are widely used on metal substrate and spread rapidly and cure at ambient conditions. The unwanted ice formation can cause problems such as unsafe conditions on roads and bridges and damage of concrete tanks and walls. These coatings reduce the adhesion strength of ice as compared to painted surfaces and bare metal. It can be directly used on treated surfaces to decrease ice adhesion and also prevents ice buildup. Metals are widely used in range of industries such as automotive, aerospace, and renewable energy. The use of anti-icing coatings on metal surfaces further provides the tremendous growth opportunities in numerous industries as the metal surfaces in above mentioned industries are exposed to external weather conditions.  

Anti-icing Coatings Market Segment Analysis – By End-Use Industry

The aerospace segment is projected to grow with a highest CAGR of around 21.0% during the forecast period. Ice buildup on different surfaces can cause problems such as ice formation on doorway or roof of homes can cause damage to walls, on industrial level it can create disruptive services, and generate short circuit in electrical insulators. These coatings are used in numerous applications such as wind turbines, power lines, building parts, solar panels, sports equipment, and textile. In aerospace industry, it can have severe consequences due to the ice formation on airplane wings. Icing on airplane wings cause a loss of control due to the lack of lifting force and weight overloading. This results into serious accidents and massive economic loss. Anti-icing coatings enable the delay of ice formation for longer period of time and reduce the waiting time for taking off, thereby, act as a cost efficient solution for the industry. Thus, increase in need and demand for anti-icing coatings in aerospace industry in further expected to provide opportunity to the industry players.  

Anti-icing Coatings Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

The North America is the leading region accounts for the largest share in the anti-icing coatings market in 2021 and held nearly 35% of market share. This growth is mainly attributed to the surge in demand for anti-icing coatings in various end-use industries in the region such as aerospace, construction, communication equipment, power line, and automotive and transportation. These industries are relying on anti-icing coatings on a large scale in order to prevent losses due to icing. Further, these coatings act as environmental friendly product along with this provides a cost effective solution. North America region is subject to have a lower temperature which facilitates ice formation on doorways, roofs of home, roads and bridges, and also in the industrial premises. It causes severe glitches in the industries by enabling halt in the operations, issues in power transmission line, and wind turbines. Thus, the demand for anti-icing coatings is increasing in this region. Moreover, significant presence of aerospace industry in this region is providing ample growth opportunities to the players in anti-icing coatings market.

Anti-icing Coatings Market – Drivers

Surge in Demand in Communication Equipment Industry

Currently, anti-icing coatings are utilized in several end use industries owing to their superior performance and cost effectiveness. These are extensively used in range of industries such as automotive and transportation, aerospace, construction, communication equipment, and renewable energy. According to China.org, the China’s business in telecom sector in 2021 has increased by 8% to US$ 232.42 billion with a significant increase in growth of 4.1% from 2020. In communication equipment industry, these are employed in conductor cable, satellite dishes, and condenser units.

Anti-icing coatings are used in wind turbines, marine, power transmission, bridges, railways, solar panels, automotive, and building parts. Thus, there is an exponential rise in the demand for anti-icing coatings in North America in order to overcome issues related to ice buildup, snow formation, and extreme weather conditions.   

Anti-icing Coatings Market – Challenges

Availability of Substitute Materials

The anti-icing coatings are widely used owing to their superior performance and adoption in range of end use industries. Growth in demand for these coatings in communication equipment and cold climate regions is fueling the market growth. However, availability of substitute materials for anti-icing coatings such as de-icing fluid, de-icing devices, and de-icing chemicals and salts are restraining the market growth. The potential alternative available for anti-icing coatings is de-icing devices. However, these devices are considered to use high energy and require high cost for its maintenance. The other substitutes are de-icing chemicals and salts which are subjected to have adverse impact on environment, lakes, and soil. De-icing fluids are extensively used in general and commercial aviation for safe take off during cold climatic conditions. De-icing fluids are applied on clean surface to form a protective layer and has a lower freezing point. When any frozen precipitation comes in contact with these fluids, it melts due to protective layer and becomes diluted. Thus, aforementioned factors act as restraining factors for the growth of anti-icing coatings market. Though, substantial research and development in the field of anti-icing coatings is expected to overcome the properties of substitute materials.
