Market Trends of NA Nano Sensors Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the North America Nano Sensors Market according to our research experts:
The electrochemical segment is expected to command prominent share over the forecasted period
- Chemical nanosensors measure the concentration and composition of a particular chemical and provide the desired effect. Carbon nanotubes are used in such sensors to absorb or adsorb, depending on the technique used, to detect the chemical changes.
- The measuring attributes include chemical composition and bonding and molecular-level concentration, among others. The benefits of these sensors include high sensitivity, high selectivity, high adsorption, and larger surface area coverage.
- Growing demand for point-of-care devices is expected to act as a driver for the chemical sensors, as these devices offer an attractive option in this field due to their small footprint and potential for high sensitivity. Oil and gas and petrochemical industries are highly dependent on such devices to ensure a safe environment for the conduction of operations.
- In the food industry, chemical nanosensors have versatile applications with an array of electrode types being used to detect compounds, like Sulfite in sugar, grapes, wine, and water. Thus, the demand for these sensors is expected to increase as various industries, such as chemicals, release pollutants and chemicals as waste, which further increases the need for monitoring solutions.

Healthcare industry is expected to fuel the growth of nano sensors over the forecasted period
- Owing to the growing requirement for compact, rapid, accurate, and portable diagnostic sensing systems, the Healthcare industry has been one of the major adopters for nanosensors. Nanosensors have the capabilities to fulfill these requirements, which can be used to treat various chronic diseases.
- Chronic diseases and conditions are on the rise across the region; according to the National Council of Aging (NCO), about 85% of older adults have at least one chronic disease, and about 60% of older adults have either two or more chronic conditions. Chronic diseases can affect a person's quality of life and independence as they age.
- Moreover, NCO mentions that chronic diseases are among the leading drivers of increasing the United States' health care costs to USD 3.8 trillion every year. Chronic pain and diabetes are some of the most expensive chronic conditions, with annual spending reaching up to USD 635 billion and USD 327 billion, respectively.
- Nanotechnology has enabled better diagnosis of medical conditions, as it provides more surface area of sensors, which improves the quality of nanosensors used for diagnosis. Nanosensors are used to detect glucose levels in the blood, which has been beneficial in treating patients with diabetes. According to CDC, about 10.5% of the US population, or 34.2 million people, have diabetes, making it one of the most prevalent chronic diseases among the country's population.
