Aerogel Global Market Report 2026

Aerogels are a category of lightweight and highly porous materials derived from a gel, in which the liquid component is replaced with a gas. This transformation results in a substance with extremely low density and exceptional thermal insulating properties, as well as structural versatility. Aerogels hold promise for various medical applications, including drug delivery systems and wound dressings, due to their biocompatibility and porosity.

The primary types of aerogels include silica, polymers, carbon, and others. Silica, commonly known as silicon dioxide (SiO2) and found in various forms such as sand, quartz, and flint, boasts diverse applications owing to its unique characteristics. Silica aerogel is anticipated to replace conventional insulating materials across various sectors. Aerogels are categorized into different forms such as blankets, particles, panels, and monoliths, and find use in industries such as oil and gas, building and construction, automotive, aerospace, marine, performance coatings, and others.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have impacted the aerogel market by increasing costs of imported precursor materials, manufacturing equipment, and specialized processing technologies. These impacts are significant across oil and gas, construction, and aerospace segments, particularly in north america and europe. Higher tariffs have raised project costs and slowed adoption in price sensitive markets. However, tariffs have encouraged domestic aerogel production, innovation in cost effective formulations, and regional capacity expansion. These developments are improving supply resilience and long term market viability.

The aerogel market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.73 billion in 2025 to $2 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of energy industry, expansion of insulation materials, increasing industrial applications, availability of silica aerogels, rising demand for energy efficiency.

The aerogel market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.55 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in sustainable construction, rising aerospace investments, expansion of electric vehicles, advancements in aerogel manufacturing, increasing demand for high performance insulation. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for thermal insulation materials, increasing use in oil and gas applications, growing adoption in building insulation, expansion of aerogels in aerospace, rising focus on lightweight materials.

The increasing demand from the construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the aerogel market in the coming years. The construction sector involves the building and maintenance of infrastructure, buildings, and various physical structures, encompassing activities such as planning, design, financing, and execution. Aerogels are widely used in this sector as lightweight insulation materials, enhancing energy efficiency and architectural insulation due to their low thermal conductivity and high porosity. For example, in July 2023, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australian government agency, reported that the number of dwellings under construction increased to 240,813 in the March quarter of 2023, up from 240,065 in 2022. Of these, new houses totaled 103,778 in 2023, compared to 101,240 the previous year. Therefore, the rising demand within the construction industry is contributing to the growth of the aerogel market.

Major companies in the aerogel market are introducing innovative solutions, such as aerogel particles designed for use in lithium-ion battery thermal barriers. Aerogel particles are materials derived from gels in which the liquid component is replaced with gas, resulting in a solid characterized by extremely low density and thermal conductivity. For example, in May 2023, Cabot Corporation, a U.S.-based manufacturer of performance and specialty chemicals, launched the ENTERA aerogel particle portfolio. These particles serve as thermal insulation additives that allow for the development of ultra-thin thermal barriers for electric vehicle (EV) lithium-ion batteries. The portfolio includes three materials-ENTERA EV5200, ENTERA EV5400, and ENTERA EV5800-with particle sizes ranging from microns to millimeters. These materials can be integrated into thermal barrier formats such as blankets, cushions, sheets, films, foams, and coatings. ENTERA aerogel is also up to 20 times lighter than conventional insulation additives and contains more than 90% air, making it an efficient and lightweight solution.

In September 2024, Armacell, a U.S.-based manufacturer of insulation materials, acquired JIOS's stake in Armacell JIOS Aerogels Limited for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables Armacell to expand its aerogel manufacturing capabilities, particularly in the energy sector. Armacell JIOS Aerogels has built a strong market presence with its ArmaGel product line, designed for high-temperature and cryogenic insulation applications. Armacell JIOS Aerogels Limited is a Singapore-based developer and producer of silica aerogel blankets.
