This report estimates the market size of the global aerogel market both in terms of volume and
value. It discusses market drivers, restraints and opportunities, raw materials, and product price
trends. It also includes value chain analysis, Porter's analysis, product life cycle analysis, and patent
analysis. The report also deals with market share by participant for the overall market. It also
tracks the recent activities of market players in terms of product launches, expansion plans, supply
contracts, and partnerships and collaborations. In addition, the top 11 players of the aerogel market
have been profiled in this report.

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

Scope of the report:

The report breaks the global aerogel production market into the following three segments:

On the basis of Geography: The report is divided in geographies Asia-Pacific, Europe, North
America; and major countries such as U.S., Germany, Spain, Sweden, China, and Malaysia.

On the basis of Product Forms: The report divides the aerogel by forms like blankets, particles,
