my country’s aerogel market is gradually expanding with a large number of companies

Aerogel is a three-dimensional nanoporous solid material composed of colloidal particles or polymer molecules that coalesce with each other to form a nanoporous network structure, and the pores are filled with gaseous dispersion medium. Compared with other insulation materials, airgel has the characteristics of light weight, high heat resistance, thinner thickness, and higher thermal efficiency. Because of its pore structure, it has strong thermal insulation properties, which can greatly weaken heat convection, heat conduction, Thermal radiation, etc.

At present, my country’s airgel industry chain has basically been formed. The upstream of the industrial chain is mainly the raw material industry, providing inorganic silicon sources, organic silicon sources and other raw materials; the midstream is mainly the aerogel production industry, responsible for the production and manufacturing of aerogels; the downstream is mainly oriented to application fields, mostly used to produce aerogels Adhesive tape, airgel felt, airgel powder, airgel paper, airgel sheet and other products are widely used in biomedicine, aerospace and military industry, building construction, petrochemical industry, industrial insulation, transportation and other fields.

In recent years, the consumption level of residents in our country has gradually improved, and cars have become one of the means of transportation for residents’ daily travel. As my country’s production technology continues to advance, the comprehensive performance and endurance of new energy vehicles have been greatly improved, and the market penetration rate has gradually increased. Against this background, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in my country have gradually increased. According to data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in 2022, my country’s new energy vehicle production and sales will reach 7.058 million and 6.887 million vehicles respectively, a year-on-year increase of 96.9% and 93.4% respectively. Driven by the production and sales of new energy vehicles, the output of new energy vehicle batteries has gradually increased. As one of the raw materials for the production of new energy vehicle batteries, aerogel’s market demand has gradually increased.

According to the “In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report on the Airgel Industry 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, with With the gradual advancement of production technology, the performance of airgel has gradually improved, gradually replacing traditional insulation materials. It can not only reduce the thickness of the original insulation materials, but also has the advantages of long service life, low heat loss, good energy saving effect, and convenient construction. The market Penetration gradually increases. Against this background, the scale of my country’s aerogel market is gradually expanding. In 2022, my country’s airgel material market size will be 2.745 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 18.9%.

Industry analysts said that due to the great potential of my country’s aerogel material market, many companies have been attracted to set up operations, and the number of companies has gradually increased. . The largest airgel material companies in my country mainly include China National Chemical Corporation, Hongbai New Materials, Chenguang New Materials, Nano Technology, Pan Asia Microtransmission, Alison, Audemars Piguet, etc. In addition, there are a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in my country’s airgel market. These enterprises are small in scale, have relatively backward production methods, and have low market competitiveness. In recent years, my country’s aerogel market has continued to develop, and market competition has become more intense. In order to seize market share, companies have continued to increase investment in research and development and improve product quality, and their competitiveness has gradually increased. As the production capacity structure of my country’s airgel industry gradually upgrades, backward production capacity is gradually eliminated, and its market concentration is expected to increase in the future.
