The chemical industry is a major component of the economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2020, for the U.S., the value added by chemical products as a percentage of GDP was around 1.9%. Additionally, according to the World Bank, Chemical industry in the U.S. accounted for 16.43% to manufacturing value-added in 2018. With the growing demand from end-users, the market for chemical products is expected to grow in future. According to UNEP (United Nations Environment Program), the sales of chemicals are projected to almost double from 2017 to 2030. In the current scenario, Asia Pacific is the largest chemical producing and consuming region. China has the world’s largest chemical industry, that accounted for annual sales of approximately more than USD 1.5 trillion, or about more than one-third of global sales, in recent years. Additionally, a vast consumer base and favorable government policies have boosted investment in China’s chemical industry. Easy availability of low-cost raw material & labor as well as government subsidies and relaxed environmental norms have served as a production base for key vendors globally. On the other hand, according to the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry), the chemical industry in India was valued at 163 billion in 2019 and it contributed 3.4% to the global chemical industry. It ranks 6th in global chemical production. This statistic shows the lucrative opportunity for the investment in businesses in Asia Pacific countries in the upcoming years.
Growth Drivers
The global silica aerogel market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by form into monolith, blanket, article, and panel. Among these segments, the blanket segment is anticipated to capture the largest market size in the global silica aerogel market owing to the expansion of the oil and gas industry and higher consumption of petrol and gas in various regions. For instance, India's petroleum consumption in Financial Year 2022 was nearly 200 MMT. Natural gas consumption in India is expected to grow by 24 BCM by 2024, growing at an average rate of 8% each year. In 2030, India plans to raise its refining output to 500 million tons. In the oil and gas industry, aerogel blankets are used to improve the insulation of deep-sea pipes and pipelines in order to lower production costs, increase pipeline compression resistance, and reduce steel usage in construction. Furthermore, aerogel insulators are hydrophobic, mechanically strong, and exhibit exceptional thermal properties. As aerogel blankets have a flexible physical structure, they can be cut and modified to meet specific requirements in a variety of industries, including construction, automotive, marine, and aerospace. Thus, widespread utilization in various end use industries is also expected to drive segment growth during the forecast period.
Regionally, the global silica aerogel market is studied into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region. Amongst these markets, the market in North America is projected to hold the largest market share by the end of 2031 owing to rapid growth and increasing revenues in the aerospace & defense (A&D) industry. For instance, the A&D industry sales in the United States contributed to a combined economic value of USD 380 billion, which represents 1.5% of the U.S. gross domestic product. Over USD 88 billion worth of A&D exports were exported from the U.S. in 2020, which accounted for about 6% of all domestic exports. Moreover, as a result of the growing use of silica aerogel products in automotive and marine applications in the region, along with an increase in thermal insulator demand and a shift towards eco-friendly materials, the silica aerogel market in the region is anticipated to grow during the forecast period.

January 11, 2022: Cabot Corporation recently mentioned that silica aerogel from its product line was used in renovating Mathildenhöhe, a colony of artists in Darmstadt, Germany. The site was recently inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
April 03, 2019: BASF SE and Aspen Aerogels, Inc. announced the expansion of their strategic partnership by signing a supply agreement amendment. This amendment addressed the production and supply of a high-performance, noncombustible thermal insulation product.
In 2023, market players might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain.
Controlling Inflation has become the first priority for global economies from last quarter of 2022 and to be followed in 2023. With skewed economic situations, rise in interest rate by governments to control spending and inflation, spiked oil and gas prices, high inflation, geo-political issues including U.S. & China trade war, Russia-Ukraine conflict to intensify the global economic issues.
The interest rates in the U.S. may be less sensitive in 2023 as compared to 2022; sigh of relief for businesses. Positive business sentiments, healthy business balance sheets, growth in construction spending (private construction value in 2022 stood at $1,429.2 billion, 11.7 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $1,279.5 billion spent in 2021, Residential construction in 2022 was $899.1 billion, up by 13.3 percent (±2.1 percent) from $793.7 billion in 2021, non-residential construction touched $530.1 billion, 9.1 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $485.8 billion in 2021.) showcases minimal impact of recession in the country.
Similarly, spiked spending in the European and major Asia economics including, India, China & Japan to showcase less impact on the global demand.
