Aerogel Market Trends

Aerogel Market Overview

Aerogel market is expected to grow USD 7.5 billion at a CAGR 17% during the forecast period. Aerogel is those chemicals that are being manufactured by separating the liquid component by adopting the super drying method. Aerogel is available in both porous and solid-state. These aerogels can be called frozen smoke, solid air, blue smoke, solid cloud, and solid smoke. It has some of the popular properties like it is lightweight, has low conductivity power, performs well, some fire-resistant properties, thus helping in market growth and its development. These have been used in various sectors of oil and gas units, transportation, construction, and performance coating sectors. Lack of awareness among the customers has decreased the adoption rate of aerogel in comparison to other insulating materials during the market forecast period. Owing to the lowering of thermal conductivity and less thickness these materials can help in saving a large amount of energy which has been used for both heating and cooling purposes.

Aerogel Core Ltd, a spin-out business from the University of Bath, plans to produce next-generation materials for the aerospace and automotive industries by 2023. A team of engineers from the University of Bath has founded Aerogel Core Ltd, which specialises in ultra-light 'aerogels' that can be used as soundproofing and heat-shielding materials in the aerospace and automotive industries. Innovate UK has supported the team's spin-out firm to commercialise its revolutionary and ecologically friendly aerogels, which are synthetic, porous materials made by replacing the liquid component typically present in gels with gas.

In 2023, Cabot Corporation launched their new ENTERA™ aerogel particle range. ENTERA aerogel particles are a thermal insulation additive that enables the creation of ultra-thin thermal barriers for electric vehicle (EV) lithium-ion batteries. Cabot's portfolio includes three ENTERA aerogel materials, which formulators can combine into a variety of thermal barrier forms such as blankets, pads, sheets, films, foams, and coatings.

Regional Analysis

The Aerogel Market is segmented across five regions: Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Among these, North America holds a major share of the market due to the growing consumption of insulation materials in oil & gas, construction, transportation, and others. The increasing demand for aerogel in oil and gas pipelines and its lower installation costs and improved compression resistance has propelled the region to witness a higher growth over the assessment period. Countries such as the U.S., Canada, and Mexico are the major players in this market.

The Asia Pacific region is growing significantly in the market due to increasing research & development activities of Aerogel product in the leading companies. It is predicted that growing investments in the end-use industries is likely to drive the market in the region during the forecast period. The growing consumption of insulation materials in aerospace, marine, defense, electrical & electronics has propelled countries such as China, Japan, and India to achieve a stunning growth in the market as they provide excellent flexibility, stability and low maintenance to the product.

The European market has also observed a remarkable growth due to the implementation of new rules and regulations proposed by the government to follow lower dense materials than steel in pipe line constructions. The market has been driven by the application of this rule in oil & gas, construction, and steel segments. It is estimated that the growing innovation and technological advancement are predicted to propel the growth in countries such as the U.K, Italy, Germany, and France during the forecast period.

The Latin American region is estimated to witness a moderate growth in the market due to high cost of production and lack of technological standardization in the region. Moreover, the Middle East & Africa is anticipated to witness a significant growth in the market due to growing demand for superior insulation materials in downstream industries.

• The manufacturers and the investigators in March 2021, had launched 3D printing technologies of carbon aerogels for the electrodes used highly in ultra low-temperature supercapacitors. The researchers have used cellulose crystals of nanomaterials based on ink, and then freeze-fried it which was highly helpful in testing the surface. This so-called material had a high number of pores which had 500-micrometer openings to nanometre-sized pores present with the lattice blocks.


• Ortholite on Feb 2021, has launched advanced and high performance of comfortable footwear. It had launched the technology where it has used thermal insole technology in cold weather shielding of footwears. It provides all the necessary cold protection which has been the world's softest and most insulative protection method.


• The aerogels having lightweight properties, having resistant properties, less conductivity, and performing superiorly cells are some of the opportunities prompting market growth. Falling in product prices has prompted the rise in demand for the products.
