Global Nanotechnology Market Estimated to be worth US$132.41 billion by 2023

According to the latest business intelligence report from IndustryARC, global nanotechnology market is estimated to surpass $132.41 billion by 2023, growing at an estimated CAGR of more than 19.8% during 2018 to 2023, majorly driven by the ever-increasing application base of nanotechnology.

Nanotechnology is manipulation of matter at incredibly small sizes, generally between one and hundred nanometers. Nanotechnology surrounds a broad range of materials, manufacturing processes, and technologies that are used to create and enhance many products such as household products like stain remover and cleanser, fabrics, and personal care products like cosmetics and pharmaceutical products that we use in day to day basis. The global nanotechnology market has shown impressive growth owing to factors like increase in government and private sector funding for R&D, partnerships and strategic alliances between pioneering companies, an increase in demand for smaller and more powerful devices at affordable prices. At present, the healthcare industry is one of the largest end users where nanotechnology has made a major breakthrough with its application for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart ailments.

Nanotechnology has a broad impact on nearly all sectors of the global economy, namely electronics, energy, biomedical, cosmetics, defense, automotive, and agriculture. Materials scientists, mechanical and electronic engineers, and medical researchers are teaming up with biologists, physicists, and chemists to research at the nanoscale, unified by the need to pool knowledge on tools and techniques and to share expertise. It is widely used in fields including disease identification and cure, drug discovery and delivery, environmentally friendly renewable energy sources, and ultra-high speed mobile telecommunications. All these factors are expected to fuel the growth of the nanotechnology market in near future.

Nanotechnology is used in medical devices, chemical coatings, personal health testing kits, sensors for security systems, water purification units for manned spacecraft, displays for hand-held computer games, and high-resolution cinema screens. Government researchers have created arrays of chromium nanodots that can store magnetic data with unprecedented uniformity with the target to draw more complex integrated circuits on silicon chips. Nanotechnology also holds great promise for creating products for the energy-efficient world, such as efficient fuel cells, batteries, and solar panels. Boosted by these flourishing fields, the global nanotechnology market growth is expected to be highly profitable for a foreseeable future.

However, issues such as environmental, health, and safety risks, and concerns relating to nanotechnology commercialization, are expected to hamper market growth. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers have come up with a nanotech coating process called “Self-Assembled Monolayers on Mesoporous Supports (SAMMS)” that sops up toxic materials in water. A tube coated with SAMMS acts like a sponge, collecting mercury, lead, and other toxic metals from the water. This process is very effective in separating heavy metals from water and then recycled and reused for other less harmful purposes. The challenge of nanotechnology is to produce useful new materials with customized properties.
