The aerogel market report covers its production across regions. The aerogel market is analyzed in terms of volume (metric tons) produced in each region. The increasing awareness about energy efficiency, increasing environmental concerns and emission reduction targets are driving the growth in aerogel production. In addition, aerogel performance and multiple possible applications for achieving energy efficiency are acting as key driver for a high growth rate in aerogel production. Aerogel is manufactured by a critical manufacturing process called supercritical drying. Costs associated with its manufacturing are high which results in high pricing of material. High prices are acting as restraints for aerogel market growth.

The global aerogel production is expected to grow from 3,750 metric tons in 2010 to 70,000 metric tons by 2017, at an estimated CAGR of 52% for the period 2012 to 2017. As of year 2011, North America leads aerogel production with a share of 57% followed by Europe (42%) and Asia (1%). The major players in the industry are Aspen Aerogel (U.S.), Cabot Corp. (U.S.), and Dow Chemicals (U.S.). Some small Chinese and Malaysian companies together account to the total market of the Asian aerogel production.

The North America region is expected to continue its dominance on the global aerogel production, due the steady growth of aerogel production and research initiatives in U.S. while Germany will lead the European market of aerogel production. The global aerogel production is mainly divided between two countries U.S. and Germany and they account for 57% and 40% market share respectively
