The Global Market for Carbon Nanotubes 2024-2034

The Global Market for Carbon Nanotubes 2024-2034

The global market of carbon nanotubes is generally segmented by Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT), Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT) and others (DWCNT, FWCNT). For today, MWCNT comprise the biggest share in terms of sales volumes, and production capacities. 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. Carbon nanotube (CNT) materials have about the same level of electricity and thermal conductivity as copper and diamond and are about 100 times stronger than steel. 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. This extensive report examines the global market for carbon nanotubes, forecasting growth in demand from 2018 to 2034. It assesses multi-walled (MWCNT) and single-walled (SWCNT) varieties, including production capacities, pricing, main producers, and applications across major end-user markets like batteries, capacitors, polymers, coatings, electronics, and sensors.

Regional demand across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of World is quantified. The report profiles over 160 leading producers, highlighting their products, production methods, capacities, pricing, and target markets. Alternative carbon nanomaterials like nanofibers, nanohorns and graphene are also analyzed. Latest developments in CNT-enhanced Li-ion batteries, fuel cells, lightweight composites, conductive films, transgenic drug delivery, water treatment membranes and flexible electronics are assessed.

The report examines the role of CNTs in reinforced polymers, metal matrix composites, conductive inks, coatings, tires, textiles, thermal paste and other emerging applications. Manufacturing challenges around quality, dispersion and alignment control are considered. Toxicity concerns, rival materials, outdated production claims and oversaturation risks are also evaluated.
