2017 China Aerogel Supply and Demand and Forecast of Market Prospects
Aerogel Supply in China in 2017
Aerogel is the world's smallest density, pore size of nano-scale solids, a wide range, mainly silicon, carbon, sulfur, metal oxide, metal and so on. It was first made by American scientist Kistler in 1931 and only started to use small-scale supercritical technology for nearly 10 years.
At present, the domestic Aerogel market has just started, very few manufacturers, and the main products are still relatively junior, are basically the production of airgel powder, can produce composite products Nano Tech Co., Ltd. Guangdong Eli Health High Technology Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Tongrui New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. and a few other companies, with an annual capacity of 26,000 tons.
With the continuous promotion of China's economic transformation and upgrading, the energy conservation and consumption reduction policy, and the implementation of many years of nanomaterials strategy in China, aerogels have drawn wide attention from the government, academia, enterprises and investment circles in recent years. Aerogel is one of the high-tech products and products that China is gradually showing to be in pace with its counterparts in the world and has strong competitiveness. In a sense, the development of China's Aerogel industry is of great significance to the world's Aerogel industry Development will have an increasing impact. Data show that in 2016 China's Aerogel production of about 18,300 tons, an average annual growth rate of 25% in recent years.
2017 Aerogel Consumption in China
The domestic market started relatively late, mainly in the early sales of foreign aerogels, the price is more expensive, and marketing efforts are also less. In recent years, with the gradual increase of domestic Aerogel enterprises, the strength has been continuously enhanced, the cost has been declining and the scale has kept Expand, and then benefit from the implementation of energy-saving emission reduction policies and the rapid expansion of the economy, the Aerogel industry has entered a rapid development channel. In 2016, the Aerogel production in China was about 18,300 tons with an import of about 2.18. The volume of exports was very small, with a domestic consumption of about 40,100 tons.
Forecast of China Aerogel for the Thirteenth Five-year Plan
As the cost of aerogels is reduced and the size of the industry continues to expand, a number of emerging applications are continuously developed and the Aerogel market is maturing. As an emerging economy, China will rapidly increase its market growth faster than the international average and will enter a phase of rapid growth in the coming years. It is estimated that in 2016 China's Aerogel production will reach 13,500 tons and consume 35,600 tons. By 2022, the output is expected to reach 32,200 tons with a consumption of 51,600 tons.
In 2020, the output value of insulation materials will reach 150 billion. From the application status, from 2015-2020, aerogels materials will be used in large quantities in industrial and equipment fields. By 2020, traditional industrial insulation materials will be fully replaced and about 500 Hundreds of millions of markets. It is expected that from the beginning of 2020, aerogels materials will start to be widely applied in the construction field. By 2025, they will completely replace traditional building insulation materials and share more than 100 billion domestic markets each year.
At present, the demand in the military field mainly concentrates on the fields of spaceflight, weaponry and naval vessels. The petrochemical industry, rail transportation, power industry, underground mine rescue cabins and heat supply pipelines in urban areas have formed a certain market scale and continued to grow rapidly. Apparel and tents, LNG pipelines, building energy efficiency applications also began a small amount of post-market huge.
