Porous Glass market size, share & industry analysis, By Product (White Foam Glass, Black Foam Glass, Multicolor Foam Glass), By Application (Cryogenic System, Heat Transfer Fluid Systems, Biotechnology, Chemical Processing Systems, Others) and regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Porous glass is a type of glass that has pores in it. These pores are generally nanometre or micrometre in range. The porous glass is generally prepared from two processes that are sol-gel process and metastable phase separation. This type of glass shows high mechanical, thermal as well as chemical resistance attributed to the rigid and incompressible silica network. The easy functioning of the internal surface aids the wide range of applications.

Increasing demand from the end-use sectors like bio-pharmaceuticals, medical and chemicals attributed to the exceptional properties of the porous glass like availability in different shapes and sizes and texture is likely to boost the market. Additionally, the use of porous glass for biotechnological applications like cleaning of DNA, immobilization of enzymes is surging the demand.

Defects occur while manufacturing of such glass due to the amorphous nature of the raw materials like silica which is likely to hamper the porous glass market growth.
