The scale of new energy vehicle production and sales continues to expand, and the development prospects of the automotive aerogel market continue to highlight

Airgel is a new type of nano-scale porous solid material. It is mainly used as a thermal insulation material in the fields of automobiles, electronics, textiles, machinery, aerospace, rail transportation, national defense and military industries. Automotive aerogel is aerogel used in the automotive field and is a type of vehicle thermal insulation material.

With the current booming development of the domestic new energy vehicle industry, the thermal safety issue of lithium-ion batteries has become increasingly important. In order to ensure the safety of the operation of new energy vehicles, fireproof insulation materials must be used between power battery cells and the upper covers of modules and PACKs to delay or prevent the heat diffusion of the battery pack.

Traditional vehicle thermal insulation materials mainly include glass fiber wool, aluminum silicate wool, composite insulation panels, etc. Compared with them, vehicle aerogel has good thermal conductivity, strong fire resistance, good thermal insulation performance, and high fire protection level. , strong waterproof performance, long service life and other advantages, as well as higher comprehensive performance, it has significant advantages in the thermal insulation scenario of new energy vehicle batteries. It has now become one of the new vehicle thermal insulation materials with great development potential.

According to the “Automotive Airgel Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that at the same time, in the automotive field, aerogels can also be used in vehicle structure manufacturing scenarios such as car roofs, door frames, and engine hoods, with a wide range of application scenarios. Currently, driven by the continued development of domestic new energy vehicle production and sales, the automotive aerogel market shows good development prospects. According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, domestic new energy vehicle production and sales in 2022 will complete 7.058 million units and 6.887 million units respectively, a year-on-year increase of 96.9% and 93.4% respectively. In the future, as the scale of domestic new energy vehicle production and sales increases steadily, the market demand for automotive aerogels will continue to increase. It is estimated that by 2025, its domestic market size is expected to be close to 5 billion yuan.

my country’s aerogel industry started around 2010. After development in recent years, the industry has begun to take shape. As one of the subdivisions of aerogel, automotive aerogel has a good foundation for industry development. Domestic automotive aerogel manufacturers mainly include Zhongning Technology, Xiamen Namet, Audemars Piguet New Materials, Hebei Jinna Technology, Hongbai New Materials, Pan Asia Micro-Penetration, Shenzhen Nano Technology, and Guangdong Alison , Chenguang New Materials, Shanxi Tianyi Nano, etc., there are many companies.

Industry analysts said that airgel is a new type of high-performance thermal insulation material. In the field of energy vehicles, it is mainly used in lithium-ion battery thermal insulation scenarios, playing a role in ensuring the safety of vehicle operation and the effectiveness of battery pack thermal management. Currently, driven by the vigorous development of the domestic new energy vehicle industry, the demand for automotive aerogels is increasing, and the market shows great development prospects. At present, the development of my country’s aerogel industry has begun to take shape. The number of companies with automotive aerogel production capabilities is increasing, and the industry is developing well.
