Type Analysis
A carbon-based segment to dominate the market during the forecast period.
Based on product, the nanomaterials market is classified into carbon-based (nanotubes, fullerenes, and Graphene), metal-based (silver, gold, nickel, and quantum dots), dendrimers (nanoclay and nanocellulose), and composites segments. The carbon-based segment dominated the global nanomaterials market. This can be attributed to its various benefits, including high strength, light weight, flexibility, and durability, among others. In addition, the rising application of carbon-based materials in various industries, such as aerospace & defense and automotive, for making airframe structures, engine parts, etc., are proliferating the growth of nanomaterials.
In contrast, the composites segment is projected to grow with the highest CAGR throughout the forecast period. This is due to their wide applications, including catalysts, metal-semiconductor junctions, and optical sensors.

Regional Analysis
"Rising foreign investments to bolster the growth in the Asia Pacific region."
In 2018, the North American region dominated the global nanomaterials market and contributed a share of more than 30% of revenue generated worldwide. The major share of which comes from the U.S., which held the largest market in North America with a share of more than 80%. This can be associated with the large application and use of nanotechnology in various end-use industries, including electronics, healthcare, and chemicals.
In contrast, the Asia Pacific region is expected to expand rapidly during the forecast period. Owing to the rising demand for nanotechnology, increasing spending by organizations towards research and development in the region, and support from the government, among others. For instance, in 2019, BASF, a leading nanotechnology company, spend almost Euros 2.03 Bn on research and development activities. In addition, the increasing demand for specialty materials in the region and rapidly growing industries such as energy, healthcare, and construction, among others in countries including China and India, are proliferating the growth of the nanomaterials market. As a result, the nanomaterials market is led by Japan in the Asia Pacific region, followed by China, India, and South Korea. This can be attributed to Japan being a technological hub with the highest consumption of electronic products.
