Market Segmentation, Outlook & Regional Insights: Polymer Nanocomposites Market

 Polymer Nanocomposites Market, By Polymer, 2014 – 2025 (USD Billion)
 

Rising product demand in the global packaging and automotive industry will be the chief driver for the global polymer nanocomposites market growth over the forecast time period. The product imparts improvement in the properties of synthetic plastic materials such as gas barrier properties, mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, flame retardancy, rheology, etc. These products are gradually replacing heavy metals used in different industries such as aerospace, automotive, etc. For example, Alpine Advanced Materials have announced to commercially license and sell thermoplastic nanocomposite developed by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in 2019. This new material will be used to replace many metal parts used in the seats, interiors, galleys, trays, etc. in an aircraft. Similarly, many automotive manufacturers are also replacing metal body parts with these products. Growing demand for lightweight vehicles is likely to increase the usage of nanocomposites in automotive manufacturing which will further enhance the industry growth in the forecast time period.
 

Another key growth enabling factor for the industry is increasing research and development activities in the field of nanomaterials. Major countries including U.S. and Japan are investing huge amount of capital in building infrastructure for carrying out research activities. For instance, U.S. announced to allocate approximately USD 1.4 billion in 2019 for the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), to conduct research related to nanomaterials. Similarly, many private organizations are also taking initiative in developing nanotechnology across the world. Thus, rising research and development activities in the field of nanotechnology will enhance the polymer nanocomposites market size in the coming years.
 

Although the product helps in enhancing key properties of synthetic plastics, high product prices may slow down the growth of the industry in coming years. High price of nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, nanofibers, etc. will affect product demand in the forecast time period.
