The South Africa aerogel market is driven by several factors such as increase in need for energy-efficient solutions, government initiatives & aids to encourage sustainability, growth in the automotive & aerospace industries, and rise in demand for high thermal insulation items. Government plans have considerably influenced the aerogel market in South Africa over the past few years. For instance, the South African Government has launched various reward programs to promote the advancement of new energy-efficient products. This has fostered the need for aerogel products in South Africa, as they give maximum insulation and minimize energy wastage. Moreover, government support to stimulate sustainable products in South Africa, such as aerogel is likely to push the South Africa aerogel market growth.
Furthermore, rise in need for thermal insulation products from the automotive, aerospace, and building & construction sectors is the aerogel market. In addition, polymers and silica being lightweight materials are significantly being utilized in automotive and aerospace industries for thermal insulation purposes, thereby augmenting the South Africa aerogel market growth. Furthermore, advancements in engineering processes of aerospace and automotive components have further enhanced the demand for aerogel-based products.
Contrarily, there are some restraints hindering the growth of the South Africa aerogel market such as shortage of aerogels used as raw material in various products and high production prices. Moreover, high toxicity of carbon and silica leading to different ecological threats has caused significant obstacles for the market growth. On the other hand, the South Africa aerogel market is highly competitive in nature, with a significant number of domestic and international players such as BASF, Cabot Company, 3M, Aspen Aerogel.
The market is expected to witness growth as there is increase in focus on energy efficiency in the country. Furthermore, due to rise in electrical power expenses, aerogel products are progressively being utilized in the building & construction sector for thermal insulation, thus augmenting the market growth. In addition, with rise in government support, improvement of engineering processes in the aerospace and automotive industries, and growth in disposable incomes, the market for aerogel is expected to expand in the country.
The South Africa aerogel market is segmented depending on form, type, and end-use industry. By form, the market is segmented into blanket, particle, panel, and monolith. On the basis of type, it is classified into silica, polymers, carbon, and others. As per end-use industry, it is segregated into building & construction, oil & gas, automotive, aerospace, performance coatings, and others.
R&D activities are carried out to cover a wide range of applications in the manufacturing of advanced aerogel products, such as fire retardancy, acoustic control, and condensation control. For instance, Owens Corning has recently introduced an inert mineral-based product called Perlite Monolithic Aerogel Batts. Similarly, BASF released a low-density, highly effective aerogel insulation product called Aerogel Super Jacket that offers excellent fire protection.
Furthermore, suppliers are increasing their abilities to meet growing demand for aerogel products. For instance, Cabot Corporation is constructing a new aerogel production facility in South Africa. Moreover, companies are introducing numerous pricing strategies and discounts to enhance their market share. For instance, BASF recently followed a similar strategy for its Aerogel Super Jacket product in the country.
Besides manufacturing activities, companies in the South Africa aerogel market are concentrated on collaborations & cooperation to strengthen their grip on the market and to launch new products. For instance, SDP and Aspen Aerogel jointly introduced a series of advanced aerogel insulation blankets for property and industrial markets. Apart from this, organizations are teaming up with research institutes to discover more applications of aerogel in various end-use sectors.
