Nanofiber Materials Market Overview
Factors such as growing commercialization due to the growing end-user industrial applications, technological innovation, and continuous R&D investments are favoring the growth of nanofiber market. However, rigorous guidelines and high cost are some key factors limiting the market growth. The market of nanofiber in Asia-Pacific has been growing at a faster pace compared to other regions. China is the fastest growing nation in the Asia Pacific, followed by India and South Korea.
Carbon nanofibers (CNF) account for the largest share in the market, by product, and have been used in many forms, such as powder, nanospheres, nanotubes, nanofilms etc. for numbers of end-user applications, predominantly in automotive, aerospace for lightweight composite material, as filter media in relevant industries, and excellent material for healthcare applications. Commercialization of carbon nanofibers has started immensely, and will likely work as a strategic business expansion initiative due to the growing demand from the end-user industries. The use of CNF in many end-users is also driving the global nanofiber market.
Growth Opportunities, Challenges and Restraints - Nanofiber Materials Market
Healthcare & biomedical business is one of the major contributors to the growing demand of nanofibers globally. Methods such as drug delivery, wound healing, tissue engineering, and barrier textile employs the help of nanofibers on a wide scale in healthcare & biomedical application. In drug delivery application, nanofiber membrane from biopolymers is generally used as a bioactive material or drug carrier. Nanofiber layers created from biopolymers can also be applied as a wound dressing for significant care of the wound healing process. These materials also act as potential substrates for growing cells. Furthermore, nanofibers also serve as an effective barrier to microorganism penetration.
Based on the product, the polymer segment is expected to account for the significant market share during the projected period. Ease of access and low cost of a variety of natural and artificial polymers can be attributed to high demand. Versatile adaptability of these products with electrospinning technique is the major factor that improved its extensive scale agreement among the dominant producers.
