Description: ASPN Aspen Aerogels December 27, 2025
Aspen Aerogels Inc. (NYSE:ASPN) designs, develops, manufactures, and sells advanced aerogel insulation products for the energy-industrial, sustainable-insulation, and electric-vehicle (EV) markets worldwide. The firm operates two segments-Energy Industrial and Thermal Barrier-and offers a portfolio that includes PyroThin for EV battery packs, Pyrogel XTE/HPS for high-temperature refinery applications, Cryogel Z for cryogenic uses, and Spaceloft Subsea for offshore pipe-in-pipe solutions.
Key recent metrics: Q4 2024 revenue rose 18% YoY to $68 million, driven by a 32% increase in EV-related sales; the company’s gross margin stabilized around 55% after a 2023 ramp-up in production capacity; and its order backlog reached $210 million, reflecting strong demand in both the refining and EV thermal-management segments. Macro drivers include accelerating global EV adoption (projected >30 million EVs sold annually by 2030) and sustained capital-expenditure cycles in the oil-and-gas sector, which together underpin long-term growth for high-performance insulation.
