The global aerogel insulation market is estimated to witness a strong growth rate of more than 11% during the forecast period 2023-2028. Aerogel is generally regarded as one of the best insulation solid materials and is utilized to improve the thermal performance of energy-saving materials and sustainable products for buildings, on- and off-shore industrial infrastructure, and consumer products, as well as acting as a high-performance additive to coatings and personal care offerings.
Shifting consumer preference toward green building materials, high-cost effectiveness, and technological advancements are some of the key drivers expected to lift the demand for the aerogel insulation market across the globe. However, the complex heating and supercritical drying process lead to the high cost of production and this is one of the major challenges faced by the global aerogel insulation market.
Building & construction industry plays a crucial role in the overall growth of the market
Based on the end user segment, the building & construction industry is anticipated to dominate the global aerogel insulation market in the forthcoming years followed by performance coating. The sector will grow due to an increase in the implementation of green building programs in various countries across the globe. Increased consumer expenditure on sustainable building solutions for optimal energy conservation would boost business growth prospects.
Moreover, on the basis of product type, Silicon is dominating the market because of its low density, low dielectric constant, and superior heat resistance of materials have enabled widespread application, which will increase product penetration in the industry. Furthermore, expanding applications of recycled silica aerogel in the construction sector, as well as increased utilization in the electronics industry, will drive the market forward. However, organic & carbon is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
