根據Stratistics MRC預測,2024年全球氣凝膠市場規模將達到9億美元,預計在預測期內複合年成長率為14.8%,到2030年將達到20億美元。
氣凝膠是一種高度多孔、輕質的材料,衍生於以氣體取代液體成分的凝膠。氣凝膠通常被稱為“冷凍煙霧”,因為它是半透明的且密度低。氣凝膠是採用超臨界乾燥工藝製成的,該工藝可以在不崩壞凝膠結構的情況下去除凝膠中的液體。其結果是材料具有非常大的表面積、低導熱性和優異的絕緣性能。
根據美國能源情報署數據,2023年全球原油產量增加1.76%至101,749,000桶/日。
憑藉卓越的絕緣性能降低能耗
氣凝膠以其優異的隔熱性能而聞名,通常優於傳統材料。這種效率轉化為減少供暖和製冷的能源使用,符合能源效率和永續建築的全球趨勢。在建設產業,隨著建築商和建築師尋求能夠提高能源效率並滿足嚴格法規的材料,對氣凝膠的需求不斷增加。同樣,在航太和工業應用中,氣凝膠有助於降低能源成本並提高整體系統性能,從而推動市場成長。
複雜的製造程序
氣凝膠的生產需要先進的技術,例如超臨界乾燥和精確的化學配方,這可能會導致生產成本增加。這些複雜性限制了擴充性,並使氣凝膠比傳統隔熱材料更難部署。此外,對專業設備和專業知識的需求給新製造商造成了進入壁壘,並增加了最終用戶的氣凝膠成本。這種複雜性也會導致生產時間延長,影響供應鏈效率並延遲產品可用性。
製造技術創新
改進的溶膠-凝膠製程、更好的超臨界乾燥方法和新的合成技術等進步使得以更低的成本生產更高品質的氣凝膠成為可能。這些創新將使製造程序更具可擴展性和成本效益,擴大氣凝膠在各個行業的應用。例如,減少製造過程中能源消耗和廢棄物的新方法可以減少氣凝膠的環境足跡,並使其對具有永續性意識的市場更具吸引力。
氣凝膠容易受損
氣凝膠很脆弱,在機械應力下容易開裂、碎裂、斷裂。這項弱點限制了其在耐久性和機械彈性很重要的環境中的應用。氣凝膠的脆弱性給建築和航太等需要堅固材料的行業帶來了重大挑戰。需要額外的保護和包裝層來防止搬運和安裝過程中的損壞,從而增加成本和複雜性。這可能會阻止潛在用戶採用氣凝膠,特別是在需要高耐用性和抗物理壓力的應用中,從而阻礙市場成長。
COVID-19 大流行最初透過供應鏈中斷和工業活動下降擾亂了氣凝膠市場。但它也凸顯了醫療保健和能源效率領域對先進材料的需求。這次疫情加劇了人們對氣凝膠在個人防護設備(PPE) 和改善醫療機構隔熱等方面的應用的興趣。隨著行業適應新的安全和效率標準,並更加重視永續性和創新,氣凝膠市場正在復甦。
預計顆粒部分在預測期內將是最大的
這些顆粒預計在預測期內將是最大的,因為它們具有比毯狀氣凝膠更有效的化學和物理特性。這些產品用於多種應用,包括國防、電子基板、建築和施工、交通內飾和天線。此外,對建構安全、可靠和節能系統的日益成長的需求正在推動市場的成長,因為由於熱圍護結構效率低下,用於加熱和冷卻的能源被浪費了。
預計隔熱材料產業在預測期內複合年成長率最高
由於對節能建築的需求以及航太和深海應用等惡劣環境中對有效隔熱的需求正在刺激氣凝膠的採用,隔熱材料行業將在預測期內成長,預計複合年成長率最高。此外,氣凝膠重量輕、表面積大,可減少傳熱,使其成為需要最小導熱率的應用的理想選擇。
由於航太、建築、汽車、石油和天然氣等最終用途行業的需求不斷增加,預計北美在預測期內將佔據最大的市場佔有率。北美市場在氣凝膠市場的應用開拓、品質和產品創新方面顯示出巨大的成長潛力,而卓越的絕緣性和低導熱性能正在推動需求。
由於歐盟的能源效率政策,要求德國、英國、西班牙和義大利等國家的所有建築減少 20% 的能源消費量,預計歐洲在預測期內將保持最高的複合年成長率。此外,德國、義大利、英國和西班牙等國政府正在採取舉措來推動商業和住宅計劃。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Aerogels Market is accounted for $0.9 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $2.0 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 14.8% during the forecast period. Aerogels are highly porous, lightweight materials derived from gels in which the liquid component is replaced with a gas. They are often referred to as "frozen smoke" due to their translucent appearance and low density. Aerogels are created through a process called supercritical drying, which removes the liquid from the gel without collapsing its structure. This results in a material with an extremely high surface area, low thermal conductivity, and excellent insulating properties.
According to the United States Energy Information Administration, global crude oil production in 2023 increased by 1.76% and was valued at 101.749 million barrels per day.
Superior insulation, reducing energy consumption
Aerogels are renowned for their exceptional thermal insulating properties, often outperforming traditional materials. This efficiency translates into lower energy usage for heating and cooling, aligning with global trends toward energy conservation and sustainable building practices. In the construction industry, the demand for aerogels is rising as builders and architects seek materials that enhance energy efficiency and comply with stringent regulations. Similarly, in aerospace and industrial applications, aerogels help in reducing energy costs and improving overall system performance driving the growth of the market.
Intricate production processes
The production of aerogels involves sophisticated techniques such as supercritical drying and precise chemical formulations, which can lead to elevated production costs. These complexities can limit scalability and make aerogels less accessible for widespread use compared to more conventional insulation materials. Additionally, the need for specialized equipment and expertise can create barriers to entry for new manufacturers and increase the cost of aerogels for end-users. This complexity can also result in longer production times, which may impact supply chain efficiency and delay product availability.
Innovations in manufacturing techniques
Advances such as improved sol-gel processes, better supercritical drying methods, and novel synthesis techniques allow for higher quality aerogels at lower costs. These innovations make the production process more scalable and cost-effective, broadening the application of aerogels in various industries. For instance, new methods that reduce energy consumption and waste during production can lower the environmental footprint of aerogels, making them more appealing to sustainability-conscious markets.
Aerogels are susceptible to damage
Aerogels are fragile and can be prone to cracking, crumbling, or breaking under mechanical stress. This vulnerability limits their applicability in environments where durability and mechanical resilience are crucial. In industries such as construction and aerospace, where robust materials are essential, the fragile nature of aerogels can pose significant challenges. The need for additional protective layers or packaging to prevent damage during handling and installation increases costs and complexity. This can deter potential users from adopting aerogels, particularly in applications requiring high durability and resistance to physical stress hampering the growth of the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic initially disrupted the aerogels market through supply chain interruptions and reduced industrial activity. However, it also highlighted the need for advanced materials in healthcare and energy efficiency. The pandemic accelerated interest in aerogels for applications such as personal protective equipment (PPE) and improved thermal insulation in medical facilities. As industries adapt to new safety and efficiency standards, the market for aerogels is recovering, with increased focus on sustainability and innovation.

These products have a variety of applications in defense, electronic substrates, building and construction, transport interiors, and antennas. Furthermore Rising necessity toward building safe, reliable and energy-efficient system as the energy spent on heating or cooling is wasted owing to ineffective thermal envelopes is driving the market growth.
The thermal insulation segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The thermal insulation segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the demand for energy-efficient buildings and the need for effective insulation in extreme environments, such as in aerospace and deep-sea applications, have spurred the adoption of aerogels. Additionally, aerogels' lightweight nature and high surface area contribute to their effectiveness in reducing heat transfer, making them ideal for applications requiring minimal thermal conductivity.
North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to increasing demand from end-use industries including aerospace, building & construction, automotive, and oil & gas. The market in North America exhibits a huge growth potential in terms of application development, quality, and product innovation for the aerogel market, whereas the demand is driven by its superior insulation and low thermal conductivity properties.
Europe is projected to hold the highest CAGR over the forecast period due to European Union's energy efficiency policy, which mandates all buildings across countries such as Germany, the UK, Spain, Italy, and others to reduce their energy consumption, by 20%.
