Market Dynamics
- The growth in Aerogel is mainly due to the growing demand for aerogels by the end-users such as oil & gas, automotive, marine & aerospace, and others.
- Also, the growing expansion of the building and construction industry with a rising number of residential and commercial construction projects is leading to an increase in demand for aerogel globally. However, the high production cost is one of the major factors hindering the growth of the global aerogel market.
Market Segmentation Analysis
- The global aerogel market is segmented into silica, carbon, polymers, and others. Among these, silica aerogel is the dominating segment in 2018 as it is widely used in almost all major applications, such as building insulation, oil & gas, automotive, aerospace, electronics, and others.
- The consumption of carbon aerogel is also growing during the forecast period due to the increasing application of carbon aerogel in electronics, semiconductors, and supercapacitors applications.
- Based on end-user, the market is segmented into oil & gas, building & construction, automotive, aerospace & marine, chemicals, healthcare, and others. Among these, the oil & gas application holds the largest market share in 2018 due to the rising demand for advanced insulation materials in the oil & gas application. The building & construction is growing at the highest CAGR due to raising awareness of global warming which leads to an increase in the use of aerogel panels in newly constructed buildings.
Market Geographical Share
- Based on geography the market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the world. North America is dominating the global aerogel market in 2018 due to the growing awareness of environment-friendly products, rising stringent environmental norms by the United States government, and increasing research on product and development to manufacturing aerogel.
- The United States Department of Energy (DOE) is investing more in innovative insulation material that saves energy and money for the industrial sector, hence, leading to the growth of the market in this region.
