Nanocomposites Market is Expected to Reach USD 5.91 Billion by 2018

Transparency Market Research has released a new market report titled “Nanocomposites Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2012 - 2018”. According to the report the demand for nanocomposites that was over USD 1.91 billion in 2011 is expected to increase to USD 5.91 billion by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 18.0% from 2012 to 2018.

In terms of volume the global market for nanocomposites is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.5% between 2012 and 2018. Their key role in vehicle safety and weight reduction is the major driving factor for the nanocomposite market, globally. There is also a marked rise in the application of nanocomposites in building & construction. The above two factors combined with a high volume of consumption in electronics & semiconductors have been driving the market for nanocomposites and increasing product sales. Their high cost in certain end-user industries and applications, however, is expected to be one of the factors holding back the market.


Nanocomposites are made up of filler materials and surrounding matrix. The most commonly used filler materials are nanoclays (such as LAPONITE® and Montmorillonite) that have a huge demand worldwide. Nanoclays accounted for over 41% of the global market share by product segment in 2011. This product segment is expected to show a CAGR of 17.4% between 2012 and 2018. Glass fibers and metal fibers are also in huge demand and are expected to be major markets in the coming years. Other nanofibers, platelets, carbon nanotubes and graphene are also expected to show healthy growth over the forecast period.

Medical & healthcare, plastics & packaging, military & defense, consumer goods, environment & water are some of the major end user industry segments where nanocomposites are used for a variety of applications.The automotive segment uses nanocomposites in the form of windshields, door paneling, headlight covers, etc. Nanocomposites are also majorly used in the aviation industry during the construction of aircraft and for replacement parts. 

Nanocomposites are used as bases for circuits, as conducting surfaces and other such high-end applications in electronics and semiconductors. In the energy segment, nanocomposites find numerous applications such as in blades of windmills, turbines and others. Building & construction was the largest market for nanocomposites in 2011 and accounted for over 15% of the total market share. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.9% between 2012 and 2018. 


North America was the largest market for nanocomposites in 2011, accounting for approximately 40% of global demand. Building and construction, electronics & semiconductors and aviation were the major markets driving sales for nanocomposites in North America, making it the largest market by volumes. Europe accounted for a large portion of nanocomposite sales. Asia Pacific and RoW are expected to be strong future markets for nanocomposites with growing industrialization and infrastructure. Asia Pacific is expected to show the highest growth in demand and the market for nanocomposites is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 18.8% between 2012 and 2018.

Welding Products Market Growth in Wind Power Sector to Create Opportunities, TMR

The global welding products market is moderately fragmented with the key players such as Lincoln Electric, ESAB, and ITW leading in the market. These three players accounted for a collective share of 30% in 2013, states a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). This market is capital intensive and thus, local vendors find it difficult to compete with the larger players. Local players are unable to compete with large players on the basis of quality, services, functionalities, and features. Thus, these small players are entering into the market by introducing products that are low in price. Some of the players operating in the welding products market are: Voestalpine AG, Sonics & Materials Inc., Fronius International GmbH, Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc., Arcon Welding, Bohler, Panasonic, Daihen Corp, and OBARA Co. In order to increase their production capacities and focus on innovations, companies are adopting the strategy of merging or acquiring other players. Acco

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid prototypi
