Aircraft Ice Protection System Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The integration of electrical architecture in new-generation aircraft is notably driving the aircraft ice protection system market growth, although factors such as frequent maintenance requirements may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the aircraft ice protection system industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Aircraft Ice Protection System Market Driver
The integration of electrical architecture in new-generation aircraft is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global aircraft ice protection system market. The evolution of long-range aircraft has increased the complexities of the internal systems in aircraft. The move to replace bulky and outdated components in the aircraft control system with electrical systems has helped in the development of a concept known as more-electric architecture (MEA). Together with variable frequency generation and power electronics, the electrical output of various electrical equipment in an aircraft can be controlled efficiently to enhance its overall performance without adding to the overall weight. The primary objective of shifting to an electrical control system is achieving lower operational costs in terms of reduced fuel consumption and associated emissions, as well as minimal maintenance costs as a result of the simplified design of an electric drivetrain. Moreover, Electrical ice protection systems provide several advantages in terms of weight and cost reduction, enhanced overall reliability, and improved performance, and thus have witnessed widespread adoption in new aircraft models. This is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Key Aircraft Ice Protection System Market Trend
The use of laser pulse technology to develop new materials for ice protection will fuel the global aircraft ice protection system market growth. The nano-texture removes smooth surfaces and prevents water droplets from spreading out and wetting the surface, thereby reducing the intensity of ice formation. The technique has a potential design framework that helps in reducing maintenance costs when compared to anti-icing coatings. The technology is under development and, at present, lacks robustness and consistency for commercial viability. Moreover, as the technology cannot actively remove ice that has already formed, it is advisable to use other ice protection systems alongside. Water-repellent structures usually have poor structural strength and are vulnerable to rapid deterioration. Researchers are testing a combination of laser processing and plasma technology to create robust lotus-like structures. Laser-machined patterns are being analyzed using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) to improve the erosion resistance attributes of super-hydrophobic surfaces and make them more suitable for use in harsh environmental conditions. The application of the technology in commercial and military aircraft will likely revolutionize the global aircraft ice protection system market.
Key Aircraft Ice Protection System Market Challenge
The frequent maintenance requirements are a major challenge for the global aircraft ice protection system market growth. An ice protection system is used primarily to perform either of the two functions, namely, prevent ice formation on the exposed surfaces of an aircraft (anti-icing), or remove ice post-formation (de-icing). Ice accumulation in aircraft is fraught with dangers and has a range of effects on different aerostructures, which can impair their airworthiness. For instance, ice accumulation on the wings disrupts the smooth flow of air over the surface and drastically increases the drag while reducing lift. Hence, it must be ensured that the ice protection system is functioning properly to avoid the critical loss of the flying attributes of an aircraft. Aircraft that frequently operate in colder regions are more vulnerable to technical constraints associated with ice protection systems. In these regions, maintaining the airworthiness of an aircraft requires the mounted ice protection system to be inspected constantly, which escalates the associated maintenance costs for an airline operator. The designs of the system and their corresponding operating procedures are based on the understanding of the tolerance to ice accretion exhibited by an aerodynamic surface.
This aircraft ice protection system market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
