Microporous Insulation Market by Product Type (Rigid boards & panels, flexible panels, machined parts, moldable products), Application (Industrial, Energy & Power, Oil & Gas, Aerospace & Defense, Automotive), and Region - Global Forecast to 2023
The global microporous insulation market is projected to reach USD 165.4 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.7%, between 2018 and 2023. Additionally, the microporous insulation market is expected to grow from 3,800 metric tons in 2018 to 4,608 metric tons by 2023, at a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period. Its unique property of space and weight conservation in the aerospace & defense application will drive the growth of this market during the forecast period.
Microporous insulation is a composite material comprising of a blend of ceramic powders and fibers, with an average interconnecting pore size comparable to or even less than the mean free path of air molecules at standard atmospheric pressure. It may contain opacifiers to reduce the amount of the radiant heat transmitted. The microporous insulation material is inorganic making it non-combustible and suitable for passive fire protection applications. It is ideal for any high-temperature application and has been used in aerospace, automotive, industrial, and commercial markets where space and weight conservation are critical requirements without compromising the thermal performance.
By type, rigid boards & panels to dominate the microporous insulation market during the forecast period
Based on product type, the microporous insulation market is segmented into rigid boards & panels, flexible panels, and others. Other product types include moldable products, machined parts, and pourable products. The flexible panels’ product type is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, in terms of value. This is because flexible panels exhibit excellent dimensional stability and improved mechanical resistance to vibration and impact. They are energy-efficient and can be conveniently handled and transported.
By application, aerospace and defense segment to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Based on application, the microporous insulation market is segmented into industrial, energy & power, oil & gas, aerospace & defense, and others. Other applications include automotive and consumer appliances. The market in the aerospace & defense application segment is projected to register the highest CAGR, in terms of value, between 2018 and 2023. The demand for microporous insulation is increasing in the aerospace & defense application due to increasing demand for lightweight materials, which, in turn, saves the fuel consumed during the operation of an aircraft.
APAC to dominate the microporous insulation market during the forecast period
The microporous insulation market in APAC is projected to register the highest CAGR, in terms of value, between 2018 and 2023. The rising awareness about the benefits of microporous insulation materials and growing industrialization and infrastructure development in the region offer various opportunities regarding the use of microporous insulation. Also, the increase in demand for energy, power, metal, and automotive, is expected to drive the market. The microporous insulation market is significantly driven by the oil & gas segment, where there is a high demand for advanced insulation solutions, having a reduced thickness and low thermal conductivity.
Microporous Insulation Market Market Dynamics
Driver: Increase in demand for high thermal resistant insulation materials in oil & gas applications
Microporous insulation is high-temperature insulation, which provides extremely low thermal conductivity over a temperature ranging from 0.021 w/m.k (watt/meter/Kelvin temperature) to 0.034 w/m.k at a mean temperature of 800°C.

As compared to conventional insulation materials, such as glass-filled foams, fibers, and metals, microporous insulating materials have a thermal efficiency that is four to five times greater. The superior thermal resistance of microporous insulation shows enormous potential in oil & gas applications, where insulation is of prime importance. Besides excellent thermal performance, microporous insulating materials have significant resistance to flame and extreme weather conditions.
Also, as per the International Energy Agency, the global oil & gas sector is expected to witness considerable growth until 2020 due to increasing demand from the automotive and aviation industries. The growing oil & gas sector requires advanced insulation materials for transporting oil & gas to distant areas.
Restraint: High manufacturing cost
The base ingredients used to manufacture microporous insulation boards and panels are inorganic oxides of silica, zirconia, among others. Another element used in the process are opacifiers, which are thermally stable and have controlled particle size, and are distributed uniformly along the surface area. These opacifiers help in reducing thermal transmission to the lowest level. These are held tightly using glass filaments that help in providing handling strength and prevent absorption of moisture. The end product obtained has the lowest thermal conductivity possible, and the cost associated with the whole process, and technology is three to five times higher than that of conventional insulating materials. Moreover, factors such as lack of commercialization and low industrial production capacity are also responsible for the high production cost. Higher volume production using more efficient chemical manufacturing technologies is expected to lower the cost of microporous insulation.
Opportunity: Infrastructure development in emerging economies
Infrastructure development is one of the major activities undertaken in any economy. Emerging economies are investing significantly in infrastructure development, owing to modernization and industrialization. Iron & steel is required for the construction of buildings, rails, and metros, among other infrastructures. Microporous insulation is used in back-up lining and furnaces, which, in turn, drives the demand in the microporous insulation market. The emerging economies are not only investing in the domestic infrastructure but are also seeking opportunities for foreign investments. China is the biggest trading partner of Brazil, Argentina, Peru, and Chile, investing in everything ranging from energy to aircraft and infrastructure. Similar agreements have been signed between India and China for the development in sectors including railways, renewable energy, and industrial parks. These factors are expected to drive the demand in the microporous insulation market.
Challenge: Lack of awareness and acceptance
The biggest challenge facing microporous insulation is the lack of awareness and acceptance of, especially in emerging economies, such as APAC, South America, and the Middle East & Africa. Even in Europe, which is the leading market, globally, microporous insulation is used only in the applications where space is a constraint, and low thermal conductivity is required. In APAC, microporous insulation is mostly used in critical and temperature-sensitive applications, for instance, industrial. Also, the high manufacturing cost of microporous insulation acts as a barrier for the potential end-users to accept it as a material of choice.

The study involves four major activities to estimate the size of the microporous insulation market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, the peer market, and the parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. The market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were then used to estimate the market sizes of the segments and subsegments.
Secondary Research
Secondary sources used in this study are annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers; certified publications; articles from recognized authors; and gold standard & silver standard websites, such as Factiva, ICIS, Bloomberg, International Energy Association (IEA), Insulation Manufacturers Association (IMA), North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), and Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), and Thermal Insulation Manufacturers and Suppliers Association (TIMSA). The findings of this study were verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews with key officials, such as CEOs, vice presidents, directors, and other executives.
