Wellesley, Mass—According to a new technical market research report, AEROGELS (AVM052B) from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), the global market for aerogels was worth $82.9 million in 2008. This should increase to $646.3 million in 2013, for a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 50.8%.
The aerogels market accounted for 1,011.0 metric tons of materials in 2008. This is expected to increase to 9,646 metric tons in 2013, for a CAGR of 57.0%.
Aerogels are ultra-light, low density, nanoporous materials that can be made from inorganic, organic or hybrid materials. Aerogels are characterized by ultra-fine cell size and open-cell structure. They are formed by interconnected polymeric-type chains that create continuous porosity. Pore sizes are generally below 100 nanometers, and aerogel particle sizes are typically below 20 nanometers.
