Deicing Fluid Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Fluid Type (Ethylene Glycol, and Propylene Glycol), By End User (Aviation, Transportation, Automotive, Industrial, and Others), and Region Forecast 2020-2031

Deicing Fluid Market size was valued at US$ 1.4 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 2.0 billion by 2031, growing at a significant CAGR of 4.8% from 2025-2031. Deicing fluids, which mainly consist of salts, alcohols, and glycols decrease the freezing point of water. Mechanical de-icing measures such as pressing, scraping as well as heat application, are also operated. Through hoses or spray guns, the de-icing solution is squirted on the surface. Deicing fluid has a variety of applications, including aviation, transportation, and consumer-specific demands. These wide-ranging applications push the expansion of the market across the globe.  Based on segmentation, Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol are the important fluid type used for ant-freezing substances and are frequently utilized as aircraft de-icers and in automotive antifreeze solutions too.

The market has a higher global demand in cold climatic regions owing to the rate of increase in accidents and related problems due to the accumulation of snow on aircraft. As per ICAO, there was a 16% rise in an overall accident in 2018-2019 in the United States and 12% worldwide. The continuous variation in climatic changes and increasing snowfall in cold countries will undoubtedly drive the market demand. The increasing tourism activities and population increment with time in cold regions are a significant factor that forces demand for the market. The aviation industry leads global demand for the market and become a key driver of the market size expansion.  Various industries have faced negative impacts during the COVID-19 pandemic, the aviation sector is one of them which got hit harder due to restrictions on movement. Also, manufacturers of new products and supply chains were all affected badly, which hampered the market share. With the opening of various industries and huge investments by key players will quickly regain the market in the current time and would expect to lead the deicing market in upcoming years.
