Dynamics
An Increase in Cosmetic and Personal Care Product Production
The rapid growth of nanosilver is due to its anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory qualities, nanosilver is largely employed as a preservative in cosmetics and personal care products. Nanosilver is used in cosmetics and personal care products to stop the growth of unwelcome bacteria, hence increasing the shelf life of the product.
The International Trade Administration (ITA) reports that South Korea is one of the top ten worldwide beauty businesses, contributing 2.8% of global sales in 2019. In 2019, the market was valued at US$ 9.4 billion, with a 4.9% increase in total local cosmetic output over the previous year. The growth in the cosmetic industry is directly impacting the growth of the nanosilver market in a positive way.
Expansion of the Water Treatment Sector
Killing or preventing the growth of hazardous bacteria in water can be accomplished by using nanosilver as a disinfectant. To improve water purification and lower microbiological contamination, it can be added to filtration systems, membranes or other treatment procedures. So, the demand for nanosilver is increasing in the water treatment sector.
Microorganism colonies called biofilms grow on surfaces that are submerged in water. As a result, water treatment systems may clog and perform less effectively. In order to preserve the efficiency of water treatment machinery, nanosilver-coated surfaces or nanosilver dispersions can aid in preventing the growth of biofilms.
Additionally, work on the construction of a new wastewater treatment facility in Morocco started in December 2021. In 2023, the facility is expected to start operating. A total of 8 million cubic metres of wastewater can be treated annually at the facility. As a result, it is anticipated that the demand for nanosilver, which is needed to make the filter media and membrane systems utilized in these facilities, will rise as a result of the new development of wastewater treatment plants. In subsequent years, these factors are expected to fuel market expansion.
Concerns about the Toxicity of Nano Goods in the Environment
The utilization of nanoparticles is frequently associated with the production of nano pollution. Nano pollution results from waste or byproducts produced during the production of nanomaterial. The waste and byproducts produced during the manufacturing of nanomaterials may wind up in landfills and damage the air and water supply.
Since it is yet unclear what the entire scope of nano pollution will do to the environment, the development of nanotechnology, including nanosilver, is seen as a growing environmental problem. In addition, prolonged exposure to or inhalation of silver nanoparticles during their production process may result in heart and lung issues.
The development of the nanosilver sector throughout the predicted period may therefore be constrained by these environmental and health issues related to the production of nanomaterials.
Risks Associated with Nanosilver
Nanoparticles, particularly nanosilver, can enter the environment in a variety of ways, including through the usage of products, during manufacturing processes, along with product disposal. The accumulation of these nanoparticles in environments and water sources might interfere with natural processes and have an effect on both terrestrial and aquatic animals.
Numerous nanoparticles, particularly nanosilver, may be damaging to aquatic life and other sorts of life, according to a growing body of studies. Damage to disruption of metabolic functions and cellular structures and consequences for development and reproduction are all possible. Nanoparticle accumulation in species over time may result in bioaccumulation in the food chain.
Risks to human health could come from greater nanoparticle concentrations in predators or higher-order species as a result of this accumulation. Since nanoparticles are relatively new compounds, it is still unclear how they will affect the environment and people's health in the long run. Concerns about the possibility of unanticipated effects in the future are sparked by this ambiguity, which is restraining the nanosilver market growth.
Segment AnalysisThe global Nanosilver market is segmented based on form, application, end-user and region.
Rising Demand For Manufacturing of Drugs and Medical Equipment in Healthcare Industry
The healthcare segment held the largest nanosilver market share of 31.8% in 2022 in the nanosilver market analysis report. The growth is due to the increased global manufacturing of drugs and medical equipment.
For instance, the pharmaceutical business in Vietnam is predicted to develop at a rate of 10% annually between 2017 and 2028 as a result of a rise in pharmaceutical production and sales in the nation. According to recent findings from the Indian Economic Survey 2021, the country's domestic pharmaceutical industry is predicted to triple in size over the next ten years.
Additionally, the Mexican medical equipment market was estimated by the International Trade Administration (ITA) to be worth US$16.80 billion in 2020, an increase of 10% from US$15.27 billion in 2019. Additionally, the market for medical devices in Canada was estimated to be worth US$ 8.6 billion U.S. in 2020. All these above-mentioned factors contribute to the growth of the market.

COVID-19 Impact AnalysisThe nanosilver market has been positively impacted by COVID-19, majorly due to its demand in the healthcare industry. Preventing the transmission of infection is crucial because COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease and there are currently no viable treatments or vaccines for it. Social seclusion, the use of masks and PPE and the reinforcement of hygiene practices have all been used to try to stop the virus from spreading.
Several companies made investments in nanotechnology-based goods to create efficient cleaning solutions and PPE in this context. According to research, silver nanoparticles are one of the most effective metal disinfectants against bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms and have strong antibacterial properties. Since ancient times, silver has been used to treat illnesses.
The nanosilver market has been positively impacted by COVID-19, majorly due to its demand in the healthcare industry. Many pharma manufacturers employ nanosilver in their product lines. Employing this strategy A Malaysian company named SHEPROS has created a disinfectant called Nano Silver that kills a variety of microorganisms, including viruses, by adversely affecting cellular metabolism and preventing cell growth by suppressing the basal metabolism of the electron transport system.
Nano Silver contains a suspension of silver nanoparticles with a size of 25 nm. This substance is offered for sale and functions as a sanitizer for SARS-CoV-2. Similar to this, a company called Weinnovate Biosolutions, has created an alcohol-free, aqueous-based colloidal silver solution that exhibits antiviral properties by preventing the production of viral negative-strand RNA and viral budding. Other silver-based nanoformulations sold as disinfectants and sanitizers
Russia- Ukraine War Impact
International partnerships and research collaborations were impacted by the Ukraine-Russia conflict. The research institutes or businesses were unable to successfully collaborate due to geopolitical issues, scientific breakthroughs and discoveries within the nanosilver field were hampered. The battle altered consumer buying habits and public image as well as consumer preferences. This had an effect on the market for consumer goods containing nanosilver, such as clothing or cosmetics.
