GLOBAL INDUSTRY INSIGHT:<strong>Aerogel</strong> <strong>Market</strong> <strong>Size</strong>, <strong>Share</strong>, <strong>Development</strong>, <strong>Growth</strong> <strong>and</strong> Dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>Forecast</strong><strong>to</strong> 2020


Global <strong>Aerogel</strong> <strong>Market</strong> <strong>Size</strong>, <strong>Share</strong>, <strong>Development</strong>, <strong>Growth</strong> <strong>and</strong>Dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>Forecast</strong> <strong>to</strong> 2020Acoustic insulation application is the fastest growing application segment in the global aerogel market. The highporosity of aerogel reduces the sound velocity inside it, resulting in high sound absorption capacity. This is animportant characteristic of aerogel that promotes its use as an acoustic solution. Efficient thermal resistance,reusability <strong>and</strong> recyclability of aerogel, lighter <strong>and</strong> thinner alternatives <strong>to</strong> conventional insulations, high durability<strong>and</strong> protection from fire are the key fac<strong>to</strong>rs driving the adoption of the aerogel market.<strong>Aerogel</strong> is a porous, synthetic <strong>and</strong> extremely light material derived from a gel, in which the liquid element of thegel has been replaced with a gas. <strong>Aerogel</strong>s have low thermal conductivity <strong>and</strong> extremely low density. <strong>Aerogel</strong>scan be made from a variety of chemical compounds. In aerogel production, the liquid part of a gel is extractedby supercritical drying.For more information visit: https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/aerogel-marketProduction of aerogel involves conventional evaporation in which the liquid is dried off slowly without affecting theconcrete matrix in the gel <strong>to</strong> disintegrate from capillary action. Initially, aerogels were produced from silicagels. <strong>Aerogel</strong> is a material that is 98.2% air, <strong>and</strong> due <strong>to</strong> the lack of solid material aerogel is almost weightless.<strong>Aerogel</strong> has a porous solid network that contains air pockets, with the air pockets, taking up majority of spacewithin the material. <strong>Aerogel</strong>s are good thermal insula<strong>to</strong>rs because they nullify two of the three methods of heattransfer (radiation, convection <strong>and</strong> conduction). They are good conductive insula<strong>to</strong>rs, as they are composedentirely from gas, <strong>and</strong> gases are poor conduc<strong>to</strong>rs of heat.For the better underst<strong>and</strong>ing, the global aerogel market can be categorised on the basis of raw material,applications <strong>and</strong> aerogel type. Based on the raw materials, aerogel market is divided in<strong>to</strong> silica, carbon, alumina<strong>and</strong> others. On the basis of applications, the aerogel market is divided in<strong>to</strong> building insulation, oil <strong>and</strong> gasindustry, aerospace, au<strong>to</strong>motive thermal management, chemicals, electronics, acoustic insulation, healthcare.Based on forms, the global aerogel market is divided in<strong>to</strong> powder, blankets, blocks <strong>and</strong> panels. In 2013, blanketconstituted the largest segment in the aerogel market by form <strong>and</strong> is expected <strong>to</strong> experience substantial growth incoming years.The global aerogel market has many opportunities in future. <strong>Aerogel</strong> can be inserted in firefighter's protectivegears, due <strong>to</strong> its thermal protective performance. Due <strong>to</strong> its high heat resistance along with extremelightweightedness; it can be used as apparels in the cold regions. Besides, by having a high surface area, carbonaerogel can also be used for electrical energy s<strong>to</strong>rage <strong>and</strong> hydrogen. In addition, the extremely thin <strong>and</strong> easilyproduced polyurethane aerogel insulating panel is a further new invention in the aerogel market. This fac<strong>to</strong>r isinfluencing the growth of the aerogel panels segment.© P&S <strong>Market</strong> Research. All rights reserved 2


Global <strong>Aerogel</strong> <strong>Market</strong> <strong>Size</strong>, <strong>Share</strong>, <strong>Development</strong>, <strong>Growth</strong> <strong>and</strong>Dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>Forecast</strong> <strong>to</strong> 2020High production cost is the most important restraining fac<strong>to</strong>r for the global aerogel market, as the rising costburden affects the consumers directly. High cost of production <strong>and</strong> dependence on general economic conditionsare some other fac<strong>to</strong>rs obstructing the global aerogel market. Moreover, industries such as construction, powergeneration <strong>and</strong> petroleum are vulnerable <strong>to</strong> cross-boundary economic conditions <strong>and</strong> hence, the aerogel marketwhich are dependent, face sales side pressure in adverse economic conditions.Request for Table of Content: https://www.psmarketresearch.com/enquiry-form.php?enqid=174&title=TOCSome of the major competi<strong>to</strong>rs operating in the global aerogel market are Aspen <strong>Aerogel</strong>s, Inc., CabotCorporation, <strong>and</strong> The Dow Chemical Company. However, there are various small scale companies spread acrossthe other parts of the globe trying <strong>to</strong> increase aerogel production.Browse more reports on Chemical Materials <strong>and</strong> Energy: https://www.psmarketresearch.com/industryreport/chemicals-materials-<strong>and</strong>-energyAbout P&S <strong>Market</strong> ResearchP&S <strong>Market</strong> Research is a global market research <strong>and</strong> consulting company.
