Nanofibers Market To Hit Value $2.89 Billion By 2024 |Grand View Research, Inc.
The global nanofibers
market size is expected to reach USD 2.89 billion by 2024, expanding at
a CAGR of 25.2%, according to a new
report by Grand View Research, Inc. Technological advancements in the field of
nanomaterials, coupled with increasing demand for materials such as carbon,
glass, ceramic, and polymeric in various end-use segments, are expected to
drive growth over the forecast period. Surging demand for nanotechnology-enabled
smart textiles, filtration, tissue engineering & regeneration, wound
healing, drug delivery, and biosensors is expected to steer nanofibers market
penetration in the medical sector over the next few years.
However, stringent guidelines and standards
for manufacturing, handling, and sales of nanomaterials by international
agencies such as ISO, NIST, and Nanomaterials Registry may hamper market
growth. The nanofibers industry growth may further be restrained by regulations
pertaining to the toxicity of metal and carbon-based nanoparticles.
Nanoscale polymer fibers dominated the
global demand accounting for 49.2% of total market volume in 2015. Large-scale
application of these materials in high-efficiency air filters coupled with
increasing usage in medical devices and drug delivery systems especially in the
mature economies can be attributed to high penetration.
The market is highly fragmented with
the presence of a number of small- and large-scale companies. Some of the key industry participants
include FibeRio Technology Corporation, Toray Industries, Ahlstrom Corp.,
Revolution Fibres, Donaldson, Elmarco, and Johns Manville Corp. Major
strategies adopted by key companies include capacity expansion and long-term
strategic partnerships with end-user companies to enhance their industry
position. DuPont; Asahi Kasei; Jiangxi Xian Cai Nanofibers Technology; Johns
Pyrograf Products, Inc.; and MemPro are several other companies in the market.
