my country’s nanomaterials industry started late and the market size is growing steadily

Nanomaterials are one of the subcategories of new materials. They are materials in which at least one dimension in three-dimensional space is in the scale range (between 1.0-100.0 nanometers) or is composed of it as a basic unit. With the gradual advancement of research and development technology, the types of nanomaterials are becoming increasingly abundant, which can be roughly divided into carbon nanotubes (CNT), nano-montmorillonite (MMT), nano-calcium carbonate, etc.

From the perspective of market structure, nano-calcium carbonate, as the earliest nanomaterial to achieve industrialized production, has the largest market share, reaching 93.53%; followed by nano-montmorillonite, with a market share of 4.65%; carbon nanotubes rank third, with a market share of The ratio is only 1.82%.

my country’s nanomaterials industry started late. It was not until the late 1980s that my country began to pay attention to nanomaterials-related research. However, after years of development, my country’s nanomaterials industry has entered a healthy and stable stage of development. The product system has gradually improved, technologies in many subdivisions have continued to make breakthroughs, and some technologies have even reached the forefront of the world.

At present, my country’s nanomaterials industry chain has been formed. The upstream of the industrial chain is mainly the raw material industry and related production equipment industry, providing metal raw materials, oxide raw materials and other raw materials as well as aerosol generators, high-energy ball mills, diffusion furnaces and other related production equipment; the midstream is mainly the nanomaterial production industry, responsible for different types of nanometer The production link of materials; the downstream is mainly the application field. Nanomaterials are mostly used to produce catalysts, electronic probes, nanowires, biochips and other products. They are used in biotechnology, new energy, papermaking, semiconductors, machinery manufacturing, biomedicine, electronic information, It is widely used in rubber and other fields.

According to the “China Nanomaterials Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, nanometer As a new material, with its advantages of high hardness and light weight, it has a wide range of applications and the market demand is growing. Against this background, the scale of my country’s nanomaterials market has shown a steady growth trend. From 2017 to 2022, my country’s nanomaterials market size has increased from 89.125 billion yuan to 203.087 billion yuan, with an average annual compound growth rate of 17.91%.

There are a large number of companies in the nanomaterials market and the market concentration is low. However, in some subdivisions, leading companies have emerged. For example, in my country’s carbon nanotube market, Tiannai Technology has the largest market share, reaching 40.02%, and has become a leading company in the industry. According to data in the company’s annual report, in 2022, Tiannai Technology’s total operating revenue was 1.836 billion yuan, an increase of 39.13% over the same period last year.

Industry analysts said that in recent years, my country’s biotechnology, new energy, machinery manufacturing and other markets have developed rapidly, and the demand for nanomaterials has increased rapidly. The requirements gradually increased. In order to meet market demand, my country’s nanomaterials companies need to continuously optimize production technology, improve product research and development capabilities, develop more high-quality products, and promote the industry to gradually develop in a high-end direction. The future development prospects of my country’s nanomaterials are very broad.
