Progress Report from Svenska Aerogel: Significant New Contract and Steady Advancements in Electric Vehicle Battery Technology
**Svenska Aerogel Makes Strides in EV Battery Safety and Building Insulation Markets**
Svenska Aerogel, a Swedish company specialising in the production of innovative materials, is making significant strides in the electric vehicle (EV) battery safety market and the energy-efficient building insulation sector.
The company's proprietary mesoporous material, Quartzene®, has been integrated with Belcor® to create Belcotex® fibers. These fibers enhance thermal management and fire suppression in lithium-ion EV batteries, addressing critical safety concerns such as thermal runaway that can lead to fires or explosions. The technology has passed OEM testing and a patent application has been filed, underscoring its uniqueness.
Commercialization and orders are another key area of focus for Svenska Aerogel. The company has secured pilot orders in the EV battery safety segment, including a 560 kg pilot order from a European automotive supplier that has now been converted into a commercial product. This signals strong customer readiness to scale production and adopt the technology widely.
In addition to EV battery safety, Svenska Aerogel is also advancing in energy-efficient building insulation markets. A major delivery of 2.6 tons of Quartzene® to a North American thermal insulation manufacturer showcases the material's potential in large-scale industrial applications. This order, for a leading Italian paint producer, is expected to enhance energy efficiency, indoor comfort, and structural longevity.
Svenska Aerogel's CEO, Tor Einar Norbakk, has expressed optimism about the company's progress. He discussed recent developments in a podcast episode of Börsvärlden's "Bra snack," expressing pleasure at the continued interest in Quartzene for energy-efficient renovation. Norbakk also commented that the customer is actively optimizing the entire supply chain for Quartzene, including packaging solutions, container utilization, and delivery coordination across their production facilities.
The global EV battery safety market is estimated to be worth $5.3 billion by 2030, driven by increasing regulatory requirements for battery safety. Svenska Aerogel is positioning itself as a key player in this market through its technological innovations and expanding commercial footprint. The aerogel battery insulation market is projected to grow rapidly from USD 375 million in 2025 to USD 4.54 billion by 2035, reflecting broad industry recognition of aerogel materials for thermal and safety applications in batteries.
