Aerogels are lightweight, nanostructured porous materials derived from gel in which the liquid component is replaced with air. They exhibit properties like low thermal conductivity, low density, high surface area (>150 m2/g) and open porosity (typically 95-99.99 %). Their high porosities and low densities make aerogels excellent light-weight insulators of heat, sound, and electricity, and their high specific surface areas make them good absorbers of both active materials for controlled release, and of pollutants. Key end-use markets are in construction, oil & gas, automotive, aerospace, and coatings. Construction is the largest segment, but the the EV battery pack market (thermal insulation & fire protection) is growing fast.
Silica aerogels account for the largest market share, combining high insulation with cost-effectiveness. Polymer and carbon aerogels are gaining market share. Key players include Aspen Aerogels, Cabot Corporation, BASF, Armacell, JIOS Aerogel Corporation, and Enersens. Market growth drivers include demand from the Electric Vehicle battery market, building insulation demand, and the need for high performance, lightweight materials to meet environmental targets.
