Provided are a core material for a vacuum insulation panel including porous aluminosilicate, and a vacuum insulation panel provided with the same. The core material for the vacuum insulation panel according to the present disclosure has superior long-term durability and improved gas adsorption ability (particularly, superior water absorption ability) while requiring a low raw material cost. The vacuum insulation panel including the core material may exhibit more improved insulation performance by minimizing a reduction in the vacuum degree without an additional getter or absorbent.
