Aerogel Market Trending Key Players

The key players profiled in the report include Aspen Aerogels, Inc. (US), Cabot Corporation (US), Armacell International S.A. (Luxembourg), Nano Tech Co., Ltd. (China), Zhejiang UGOO Technology Co., Ltd. (China), Guangdong Alison Technology Co., Ltd. (China), Beerenberg AS (Norway), Aerogel Technologies, LLC (US), Enersens (France), IBIH Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. (China), aerogel-it GmbH (Germany), and among others. The aerogel market has witnessed insignificant growth in the past few years; mounting demand from energy industrial and transportation applications to drive the growth of this market. Market players are introducing new technologies, acquisitions, collaborations and features to acquire larger market shares.

Armacell (Germany) is one of the major players in the aerogel market. In order to expand its business, the company is focusing on enhancing its market reach by entering new markets and regions. For instance, in August 2019, Armacell (Germany) launched its industrial-scale aerogel line at its new plant in Cheonan, South Korea. This development can increase the annual production of aerogel-based insulation products from 250,000 m2 to 750,000 m2. Similarly, Aspen Aerogels has made an expansion into automotive design and production with the introduction of Airloy in the automotive application.

Polymer was the fastest growing type segment in the aerogel market during the forecast period

Polymer aerogel material is stronger than silica aerogel. Unlike its silica counterpart, polymer aerogel has high strength, is mechanically robust, and can be used for structural applications. Organic polymer aerogels can be made from resorcinol formaldehyde, phenol formaldehyde, melamine formaldehyde, cresol formaldehyde, phenol furfuryl alcohol, polyacrylamides, polyacrylonitriles, polyacrylates, polycyanurates, polyfurfuryl alcohol, polyimides, polystyrenes, polyurethanes, polyvinyl alcohol dialdehyde, epoxies, agar, and agarose. The growth of polymer aerogels is mainly driven by its low thermal conductivity and high mechanical strength.

Particle segment is projected to be the fastest growing form of the aerogel market during the forecast period

The particle form is expected to be the fastest-growing segment of the aerogel market during the forecast period. Growing demand from applications, such as day-lighting, performance coating, and personal care and cosmetics, is expected to drive the aerogel market in the particle segment. Particle materials offer light transmission properties and low thermal conductivity, making them ideal for fenestration segments, such as architecture and construction and building applications. The particle material is also used for applications in the automotive and marine, and clothing segments.

APAC projected to be fastest growing region for the aerogel market during the forecast period

Growing industrialization and infrastructure development in the region offer enormous opportunities for the use of aerogel in Asia Pacific. Very few companies based in China and South Korea are involved in the production of aerogels, mainly due to the requirement of huge capital and advanced technology. The technology for producing aerogels at the commercial level is patented by leading players, such as Aspen Aerogels and Cabot Corporation. The R&D required for aerogels adds costs to the already expensive manufacturing process. These factors have been hurdles for the large-scale establishment of aerogels in Asia Pacific.
