Executive Summary
First developed in the 1930s, aerogels were made famous by the NASA Stardust mission in 1999, which used them to capture dust particles from a comet. Interest in these ultra-light, nanoporous materials has increased steadily leading to various industrial, high-performance applications. Although these were originally produced as silica monoliths, aerogel technology has evolved over time. Today, aerogels are commercially available in a variety of materials, shapes and sizes, to meet the requirements of a broader number of applications.
The publisher identified nine main industry sectors where aerogels have current and potential use: thermal and acoustic insulation, electronics and optoelectronics, chemical/mechanical/environmental, life science and personal care, sensors and instrumentation, energy, aerospace and space exploration, consumer products and defense.
This study provides an updated, comprehensive, description of aerogel types and fabrication methods. It also offers a detailed market analysis for these products, describing technical aspects and trends that will affect future growth.
Demand for aerogel products is projected to continue growing at a very healthy rate over the next five years, due to a variety of factors:
- Larger penetration of aerogels in the construction and transportation sectors due to more competitive pricing.
- Overall better economic conditions worldwide, with a pick-up of activities in the construction sector.
- Availability of products manufactured with low-cost materials and processes.
- The growing use of aerogels in the energy, chemical and environmental sectors.
- Greater availability of environmentally-friendly aerogel products.
- High level of aerogel-related R&D activities.
- Greater market penetration of aerogel products in developing countries.
