The Global Market for Carbon Nanotubes 2023-2033

The Global Market for Carbon Nanotubes 2023-2033

The global carbon nanotubes (CNT) market has experienced renewed growth recently, driven by demand for conductive materials for lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and other energy storage applications, with many producers greatly increasing production capacities.

Most of the main producers are targeting their materials as conductive additives for the batteries market. LG Chem, Cabot Corporation and CNano have expansion plans targeting the electric vehicle lithium-ion battery market, with LG planning to increase annual capacity to 6,100 tons by 2024. Cabot Corporation has plans to produce 15,000 metric tons/year of conductive carbon additives (CCA) including conductive carbons, carbon nanotubes (CNT), carbon nanostructures (CNS), and blends of CCAs by 2025. JEIO also recently completed construction of a CNT facility with annual capacity of 1,000 tons per annum (up from 120 tons), which will increase to 6,000 tons by 2023. The company also has plans to produce SWCNTs in 2023. Another South Korean company, Korbon, is building a 300 ton per annum single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) plant in the United States as part of supply agreement for EV batteries. It is expected to be completed in the second half of 2024, and will begin mass-production in 2025.

Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) powders, arrays, sheets, flakes, films and yarns have found applications in consumer electronics, power cables, ESD resins, batteries, polymer composites, coatings, aerospace, sensors, heaters, filters and biomedicine. Large-scale industrial production of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) has been initiated, promising new market opportunities in coatings, transparent conductive films, rubber & elastomers, transistors, sensors and memory devices. Demand for CNTs will potentially increase to >50,000 t.p.a. by 2035, with a potential market for CNT enabled-products of $60-100 Billion.
The global market of carbon nanotubes is generally segmented by SWCNT, MWCNT, and others (DWCNT, FWCNT). For today, MWCNT comprise the biggest share in terms of sales volumes, and production capacities.
