Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/scgf7g/global_carbon) has announced the addition of the "Global Carbon Nanotubes Market 2015-2019" report to their offering.
The Global Carbon Nanotubes market to grow at a CAGR of 14.84% over the period 2014-2019
Carbon nanotubes are cylinder-shaped graphite sheets. They may consist of a single layer (SWCNTs) or many layers (MWCNTs). They have high thermal and electrical conductivity and are utilized in a wide variety of applications. Some high growth applications of carbon nanotubes are in electronic devices, electrochemical sensors and biosensors, transistors, lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries, hydrogen storage cells, cathode ray tubes, electrostatic discharge protection and electrical shielding applications.
One major trend emerging in this market is the increase in the production capacity of various carbon fiber manufacturers. With the growing demand for carbon nanotubes in applications related to the Consumer Goods, Electrical and Electronics, Energy, Healthcare, Automobile, Aerospace, and Defense sectors, many carbon nanotube vendors are investing heavily in new production facilities to make the most of this surge in demand.
According to the report, carbon nanotubes are capable of replacing other materials in a wide variety of applications because of certain positive features such as their excellent mechanical strength and thermal and electrical conduction properties. Tjis potential to replace other materials is one of the key drivers of the market.
Further, the report states that high production and raw material costs and slow production rates result in high prices for carbon nanotube products. Because the market is still in its nascent stage, it will take time for the development and adoption of cost-effective methods for producing high-quality single-walled carbon nanotubes.
