Global Aerogel Market to Soar to $11.59 Billion by 2034 – BIS Research

What is Aerogel? 

Aerogel is a synthetic, ultra-porous material derived from gel, where the liquid component is replaced with gas resulting in >90% air by volume. Known for record-low thermal conductivity, extreme lightness, and high surface area, aerogels (silica, polymer, carbon-based) are used where maximum insulation with minimum weight or space is critical. Modern variants are flexible, hydrophobic, and mechanically reinforced for real-world durability. 

What is the Current Market Outlook for Aerogel? 

The market is in a high-growth expansion phase, transitioning from niche aerospace/industrial use to mainstream adoption in construction, EVs, and consumer goods. North America and Europe lead in high-value applications, while Asia-Pacific drives volume growth through infrastructure and manufacturing. Falling production costs, regulatory tailwinds (e.g., EU Green Deal, U.S. Inflation Reduction Act), and rising EV thermal management needs are accelerating deployment. Key hurdles remain; cost sensitivity in emerging markets and low industry awareness. 

What is the key Innovation & Trends in Aerogel Market?

• Ambient Pressure Drying: Replacing costly supercritical methods slashing production costs by up to 60%. 
• Bio-Based Aerogels: Derived from cellulose, chitosan, or lignin enhancing sustainability credentials. 
• Flexible Blankets & Composites: Hybrid aerogel-fiber materials enabling easy integration into walls, pipes, and battery packs. 
• EV Battery Insulation: Aerogel sheets prevent thermal runaway in lithium-ion packs a safety-critical application. 
• Smart Building Integration: Aerogel-insulated glazing and panels reducing HVAC loads in net-zero buildings. 
• Wearable & Apparel Tech: Ultra-thin aerogel liners for extreme-environment gear and heated clothing.
