Global Microporous and Mesoporous Materials Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Microporous and Mesoporous Materials market size is predicted to grow from US$ 10710 million in 2025 to US$ 17190 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2025 to 2031.

Nanoporous materials find several applications as catalyst, absorbent, adsorbent and ion exchangers and are also utilized in guest-host interaction, low dielectric constant mediate, and nano reactor. Moreover, nanoporous materials are also used in biomedical for decontamination and inhibiting bacteria; for filtration in hemodialysis; and for slowing drug release. International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) categorized nanoporous materials into three categories; including microporous materials with pore size 0.2-2nm, mesoporous materials with pore size 2-50nm, and macroporous materials with pore size greater than 50nm. This report mainly focus on the microporous materials with pore size 0.2-2nm and mesoporous materials with pore size 2-50nm. The main products in the report include Zeolites, Activated Carbon, Silica Gel, Activated Alumina, Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and Nanoporous Silica among others.

The microporous and mesoporous materials market is expanding due to the increasing demand for advanced materials in applications like catalysis, gas storage, environmental remediation, sensors, and energy storage. These materials, characterized by their highly structured pore systems, are gaining attention in a wide range of industries due to their unique physical properties, such as high surface area, tunable porosity, and selective adsorption capabilities. Here's an overview of the key market trends:

Catalysis in Chemical Processing: Microporous and mesoporous materials, such as zeolites, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and mesoporous silica, are extensively used as catalysts or catalyst supports in petrochemical refining, chemical synthesis, and environmental catalysis. These materials are favored for their ability to accelerate reactions, increase efficiency, and provide high selectivity.

Green Catalysis: With increasing emphasis on sustainability, there is a growing trend to develop catalysts that promote green chemistry processes. Porous materials are being engineered to minimize by-products, use renewable feedstocks, and reduce energy consumption during catalytic processes.

Hydrogenation, Oxidation, and CO2 Capture: The development of more efficient catalysts for processes like hydrogenation, oxidation, and CO2 capture is boosting demand for microporous materials, which can offer high surface area and well-defined pores for active sites to perform catalytic reactions.

Lithium-Ion Batteries: Microporous and mesoporous materials are increasingly being used in the development of advanced energy storage systems, particularly in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The large surface area and tunable porosity of these materials allow for higher energy densities, improved charge/discharge cycles, and enhanced performance.

Supercapacitors: Mesoporous carbon and carbon-based materials are being explored as electrode materials for supercapacitors, offering enhanced performance due to their ability to store larger amounts of charge. These materials help improve the power density and lifespan of supercapacitors used in various consumer electronics and electric vehicles (EVs).

Battery Recycling: There is an increasing demand for microporous materials in the battery recycling industry, especially for the recovery of valuable metals (like lithium, cobalt, and nickel) from used batteries. Their high surface area and selectivity enable the effective extraction of these materials during the recycling process.
