Nanotechnology in Paper Manufacturing: Global Markets

Sep 2010| NAN049A| BCC Publishing

Report Highlights

  • In 2010, the total global value of all nanotechnology expenditures in the paper industry is estimated at more than $3.2 billion. By 2015, it is expected that spending in this market will increase to more than $3.7 billion, reflecting an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.8% for the total market.
  • Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) only accounted for $5.6 million in 2009, but have seen significant growth in terms of market value as total global expenditures for 2010 are expected to increase to $8.3 million. By 2015, this sector should be worth $19.3 million, an 18.6% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
  • In 2015, nanosensors and electrostatic self-assembly (ESA) nanotechnology expenditures are expected to show combined market values of nearly $8 million as these technologies move from research and development phases into commercialization.
