課題と機会:高い製造コストが市場成長の課題です。機会は、新しい用途向けのエアロゲルをベースとしたソリューションの開発にあります。
石油・ガス産業における製品需要の増加
米国の経済見通しの改善とバンカーリングの増加により、1Q24の世界の石油消費量は予想を上回る170万b/dの増加が予測されます。この成長は、エアロゲルの採用を後押しすると思われます。石油・ガスセクターにおけるエアロゲル素材の用途拡大も、前向きなエアロゲル市場見通しを生み出しています。このような材料コーティングは石油・ガス産業で絶縁体として使用されます。石油・ガス分野では、大量の原料油がパイプを通じて輸送されます。これらのコーティングは、化学的に不活性で漏れを防ぐ能力があるため、パイプの断熱と安全確保に最適です。建設業界では、この素材を使ったブランケットは壁や屋根の断熱材としても使われています。新しい構造物の建設だけでなく、老朽化した歴史的建造物やインフラの改修も市場の成長を後押ししています。さらに、他の従来の断熱材と比較して大幅に軽量であるため、その応用レベルが高まっています。このため、エアロゲル市場予測では、この要因による著しい成長を示しています。
従来の断熱材に比べて軽く薄い
エアロゲルの組成の99%以上を空気またはガスが占めるため、驚くほど軽量です。例えば、エアロゲルの密度はわずか0.001gm/cm3ですが、従来の断熱材で最も軽いものひとつであるスプレーフォームの密度は8kg/m3です。さらに、エアロゲルは耐熱性(R値)が高いため、耐熱塗料として利用されることが多いです。さらに、エアロゲルの層を薄くすれば、ガラスや発泡プラスチックと同等の断熱効果が得られます。例えば、エアロゲルの熱感度値は1インチあたり約10であるのに対し、XPS、EPS、PUなどのプラスチックフォームの変種は、それぞれ1インチあたり約5、4、6です。したがって、ガラス繊維や発泡プラスチックのような従来の断熱塗料と比較すると、エアロゲルは、目標値R 4で25%、目標値R 12で18~23%のコスト削減が可能です。エアロゲル市場レポートによると、この要因が製品需要の増加に大きく寄与しています。
電気自動車の生産増加
電気自動車(EV)用バッテリーの省エネ断熱材とバッテリー技術の急速な進歩は、エアゾール市場概要の大きなシェアを促進すると予想されます。競争の激化と低燃費自動車への需要のため、多くの相手先商標製品メーカー(OEM)やバッテリーパックメーカーは、電気自動車用バッテリーの性能向上に常に努めています。また、エアロゲルは耐火性があり、自己消火が可能です。バッテリーセルで熱暴走が発生した場合、熱と火が近くのセルに広がるのを食い止める。さらに、頑丈なエアロゲル断熱材は、従来の発泡素材の50%のスペースしか必要とせず、自動車のドア枠、屋根、ボンネットなどに利用されています。エアロゲルは、より少ないエネルギーで、より優れたパッシブな車内気候管理を実現します。

Challenges and Opportunities: High manufacturing costs are a challenge on the market growth. The opportunity lies in the development of aerogel-based solutions for new applications.
Increasing product demand in the oil and gas industry
A stronger than anticipated 1.7 mb/d increase in global oil consumption is predicted for 1Q24 due to improving US economic prospects and increasing bunkering. This growth will aid in bolstering the aerogel adoption. The expanding application of aerogel materials in the and oil & gas sectors is also creating a positive aerogel market outlook. Such material coatings are used as insulators in the oil and gas industry. Large volumes of raw oil are transported via pipes by the oil and gas sector. These coatings are great for pipe insulation and security because of their chemical inertness and ability to prevent leakage. In the construction industry, these material-based blankets are also employed as wall and roof insulation. The creation of new structures as well as the renovation of ageing historic structures and infrastructure are driving market growth. Additionally, compared to other conventional insulation materials, they are substantially lighter, which has led to their increasing application levels. The aerogel market forecast thus shows significant growth due to this factor.
Lighter and thinner compared to conventional insulations
Since air or gas makes up more than 99% of aerogel's composition, it is incredibly light in weight. For instance, aerogel has a density of as little as 0.001 gm/cm3, while spray foam, one of the lightest conventional insulators, has a density of 8 kg/m3. Furthermore, due to their greater heat resistance (R value), aerogels are mostly utilized as heat-resistant coatings. Besides, aerogel with a thinner layer can have an equivalent insulating effect to glass and plastic foam. For instance, the aerogel's heat sensitivity value is approximately 10 per inch, while plastic foam variants, including XPS, EPS, and PU, have values of approximately 5 per inch, 4 per inch, and 6 per inch, respectively. Therefore, when compared to traditional insulating coatings like fiberglass and plastic foam, aerogel offers 25% cost savings for target values of R 4 and 18-23% cost savings for target values of R 12. According to the aerogel market report, this factor is significantly contributing to the rising product demand.
Increasing production of electric vehicles
Energy-saving insulation for electric vehicle (EV) batteries and the fast advancement of battery technologies are expected to propel a significant share of the aerosol market overview. Due to increased competition and demand for fuel-efficient automobiles, many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and battery pack manufacturers are always striving to improve the performance of electric vehicle batteries. Aerogels are also fire-resistant and capable of self-extinguishing. In the event of a thermal runaway in battery cells, they stop the heat and fire from spreading to nearby cells. Furthermore, robust aerogel insulation occupies only 50% of the space needed by traditional foam materials and is utilized in auto door frames, roofs, and hoods. Aerogel uses less energy and provides better passive in-cabin climate management.
