Abstract
Global nanomaterial demand to rise 20%
annually through 2013 While market demand has not matched the considerable
hype that nanotechnology has generated over the past decade and a half,
nanomaterials have managed to attain an appreciable commercial presence.
Global nanomaterials demand will to continue to rise, posting robust twenty
percent annual gains to $3.6 billion in 2013. By 2025, nanomaterials are
expected to reach over $34 billion in sales, having still only scratched the
surface of their immense market potential.
Carbon nanotubes to gain market share through 2025
Many of the initial uses for nanomaterials, which have had the greatest
commercial impact, have involved relatively lowtech materials and
applications. These include nanoscale versions of conventional materials,
including silica, alumina, titanium dioxide, clays, and metals such gold and
silver. These nanomaterials have found widespread applications as wafer
polishing slurries for semiconductor processing, personal care products such
as sunscreen, and antibacterial treatments for consumer products. In the next
decade or two, however, some of the relatively novel nanomaterials,
particularly carbon nanotubes, will account for a larger share of overall
nanomaterial demand. Producers such as Arkema, Bayer, Nanocyl and Showa Denko
have raised or announced capacity increases for nanotubes in recent years, as
these products find more use in electronics and motor vehicle components.
Health care to surpass electronics as largest world market for nanomaterials
Health care was the second largest market for nanomaterials in 2008, but is
expected to overtake electronics as the leading outlet in 2013 and beyond.
Nanomaterialbased pharmaceuticals, which include nanoscale drug delivery
systems as well as nanosized drug active ingredients, have enjoyed a
significant degree of commercial success to date. In the future, it is
expected that nanomaterials will expand from pharmaceuticals into other
medical product and health care applications, including diagnostics, imaging
and dental care. Additionally, the range of nanomaterials used will broaden,
encompassing nanotubes, nanoscale metals and new materials such as dendrimers
and quantum dots.
US to remain largest market
In 2008, the nanomaterial market was overwhelmingly concentrated in the
developed world. The US and Japan combined to account for over half of world
demand, while Western Europe and two high-income Asian nations, Taiwan and
South Korea, represented an additional 34 percent. While virtually all
nanomaterial markets will experience robust double-digit gains in demand, the
fastest gains are forecast in the rapidly industrializing countries of China
and India. By 2025, it is expected that China will overtake Japan as the
second-largest market for nanomaterials in the world behind the United States.
Technical, environmental issues exist for nanomaterials
While the outlook for nanomaterials is generally bright, a number of potential
complications exist. In some instances, technical issues such as agglomeration
of nanotubes in plastic composites are still a challenge. Perhaps more
fundamentally, concerns about the safety and environmental effect of
nanomaterials may be impediments to commercial success.
Study coverage
This new Freedonia industry study, World Nanomaterials, presents historical
demand data (2003, 2008) plus forecasts for 2013, 2018 and 2025 by material,
market, world region and for 15 countries. The study also considers market
environment factors, evaluates company market share and profiles industry
competitors worldwide.
