Microporous Insulation Market Report by Material (Alumina Silica, Calcium Magnesium Silicate, and Others), Product (Rigid Boards and Panels, Flexible Panels, and Others), Application (Industrial, Energy and Power, Oil and Gas, Aerospace and Defense, and Others), and Region 2024-2032


The global microporous insulation market size reached US$ 161.6 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 229.2 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% during 2024-2032.

Microporous insulation is a composite material available in compact powder or fiber form with opacifiers. It offers compressive strength, minimal thermal shrinkage, excellent fire barrier, and resistance to liquids, vibration, and chemicals. As it is inorganic and non-combustible, it is considered suitable for passive fire protection applications. Besides this, it is widely used in refining and petrochemical manufacturing plants for industrial process piping and equipment. It is also utilized in filler material for mattresses, cassettes, heat shields, and expansion joints across the globe.

Microporous Insulation Market Trends:

Microporous insulation is used in the nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) to control the heat of various elements, including reactors, pipes, pumps, and valves. The growing demand for nuclear energy due to the increasing consumption of electricity, along with the rising concerns about environmental pollution and climate change, acts as a major growth-inducing factor. Moreover, the increasing air traffic is catalyzing the demand for microporous insulation for heat shields and protection of data recorder boxes of airplanes. The rising exploration of oil and gas activities to deep-water areas is also promoting the use of microporous insulation in subsea pipelines. Apart from this, it is employed in the automotive industry to meet specified heat loss requirements. As microporous insulation is environmental-friendly, it is gaining traction in road, marine, and railway applications. Furthermore, its escalating demand in the energy and power, aerospace, and defense sectors is strengthening the market. Additionally, major market players are investing in research and development (R&D) activities to develop innovative product variants and meet constantly changing consumer needs. They are also offering high-quality acoustic insulation, which is anticipated to propel the growth of the market.
