Nanofiber Market Analysis
The nanofiber market is expected to register a CAGR of more than 15% during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created instability in the nanofiber market across the globe. However, the market is growing steadily post-pandemic owing to surging demand for HVAC systems.
- Over the long term, the major factor expected to drive the growth of the market studied is the increasing demand from the medical and pharmaceutical industries.
- On the flip side, the difficulty in a shift of carbon nanofibers from lab scale to plant scale due to small size and complexity and the lack of sensitive instrumentation to calibrate properties of nanofibers is one of the major stumbling blocks in the growth of the market studied.
- The increasing R&D and high-potential market for cellulosic nanofibers are likely to provide opportunities for the market studied during the forecast period.
- Asia-Pacific dominates the market worldwide, and its demand for nanofibers is majorly driven by the increasing application and demand from industries such as electronics, energy, aerospace, healthcare, and defense.
