Nanomaterials are materials that have at least one external dimension that lies between 1-100 nanometers or internal structures that measure 100 nanometers or less. These can occur naturally or be formed by combustion reactions through nanotechnology to be used for a particular purpose. These can be in the form of fibers, particles, tubes, or rods. The properties of the bulk form of nanomaterials can be different from that of the individual nanomaterials that are used to form them. Due to their properties such as electrical conductivity, hardness, elasticity, high strength, and chemical resistance, the application of nanomaterials is on the rise in the healthcare, automotive, electronics, and chemicals industries among others.
According to this analysis, the Global Nanomaterials Market is expected to record a positive CAGR of ~12% during the forecast period (2022-2028) and is expected to reach approximately US$ 20 Billion by 2028.
The increasing demand for nanomaterials in the healthcare and electronics sectors among other end industries is helping the market grow.
