The aircraft insulation industry is growing due to advances in lightweight materials. These new materials, like aerogels and advanced foams, offer better thermal and sound insulation while reducing aircraft weight. This weight reduction improves fuel efficiency and cuts emissions, helping airlines meet environmental rules and lower costs. As a result, demand for these advanced insulation solutions for new aircraft designs is increasing.

For instance, in January 2023, the University of Bath launched Aerogel Core Ltd, a new company specializing in ultra-light aerogels. These aerogels are designed for soundproofing and heat-shielding in aerospace and automotive industries. Innovate UK provided funding to help establish the company, which aims to bring its innovative and eco-friendly aerogels to market. Aerogels are remarkable synthetic materials created by replacing the liquid in gels with gas, resulting in a porous structure with unique properties ideal for industrial use.
