에어로겔 시장 : 기회, 성장 요인, 업계 동향 분석 및 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Aerogels Market was valued at USD 1.2 Billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 16% to reach USD 4.9 Billion by 2034.

The industry is gaining significant traction due to its growing use in energy-intensive sectors and electric vehicle battery safety applications. Continuous advancements in manufacturing processes are enabling higher production efficiency and lowering overall costs, further driving market expansion. Technologies such as ambient pressure drying (APD) and additive manufacturing are reducing production time and simplifying equipment requirements, improving scalability and cost-effectiveness. These advancements are facilitating the replacement of traditional insulation materials with aerogels across industries. Because aerogels maintain superior thermal performance across both extremely low and high temperatures, end-users are increasingly adopting flexible blanket formats that provide faster installation, reusability, and long-term cost advantages. The material's unique properties, lightweight structure, high porosity, and low thermal conductivity are key to its rapid market penetration. With their combination of durability, performance, and sustainability, aerogels are emerging as a preferred insulation solution for industrial and energy infrastructure worldwide.

The aerogels industry continues to expand as more end-users adopt it for its strong performance and efficiency advantages. In energy and industrial applications, flexible aerogel blankets have become the preferred choice, offering up to five times thinner profiles compared to conventional insulation while providing faster installation and enhanced moisture resistance. These properties help reduce corrosion risks and improve long-term reliability. On the production front, ambient pressure drying has become a cost-effective and scalable alternative to supercritical and freeze-drying methods, delivering processing-time reductions of over 50% and achieving sub-0.03 W/m*K thermal conductivities. This technological shift supports the development of affordable aerogel products designed for large-scale commercial and building applications.

The inorganic aerogels segment held 79.3% share in 2024. Their popularity is driven by exceptional material properties, such as ultra-low thermal conductivity (ranging between 12-30 mW/m*K at ambient conditions) and porosity levels above 95%. These features make them suitable for both cryogenic and high-temperature insulation requirements across refineries, liquefied natural gas systems, and power distribution networks. Advances in ambient pressure drying and assisted foaming have also improved processing efficiency, lowering dependency on high-cost autoclaves. As a result, inorganic aerogels remain the preferred solution in industrial applications where safety, reliability, and long service life outweigh initial costs.

The energy segment held a 45.2% share in 2024. The sector spanning oil and gas, power, and LNG industries continues to set performance standards that influence aerogel adoption globally. In energy facilities, aerogel blankets help reduce insulation thickness by several multiples, enabling faster installation and preventing moisture buildup. This contributes to tangible operational savings, including significant reductions in energy losses and maintenance costs across thermal systems. Large-scale projects in LNG terminals and subsea pipelines further demonstrate the value of aerogels in extreme conditions where thermal efficiency and fire resistance are critical.

U.S. Aerogels Market generated USD 445.9 million in 2024 and is forecasted to reach USD 1.7 Billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 15.8%. North America leads the global market, supported by the wide adoption of aerogel insulation across refineries, LNG facilities, and electric vehicle applications. The U.S. benefits from strong technological infrastructure, research partnerships, and government-backed innovation programs focused on improving production methods and developing high-performance insulation solutions. These initiatives continue to drive commercialization and reinforce the region's dominance in the global aerogels industry.
