Metal & Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Market to Witness Robust Growth Due to Increasing Demand from the Various End-Use Industries
The metal & metal oxide nanoparticles market is witnessing robust growth due to increasing demand from various end-use industries, such as packaging, aerospace, energy, electronic and optoelectronics, automotive, adhesives and sealants, construction and medicine, household cleaning, paints and coatings, etc. Metal Nanoparticles can be classified into zinc, magnesium, platinum, silver, gold, aluminum, iron, silicon, titanium, and copper. Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles find vast applications in various end-use industries due to their strong optical, electronic, chemical, and mechanical properties. Thus, with the rapid growth of such industries, the demand for metal and metal oxide nanoparticles is also increasing with a rapid pace.
Metal oxide nanoparticles exhibit different physiochemical
properties and are different than their native bulk compounds in several aspects.
Metal and metal oxide nanoparticles such as zinc oxide nanoparticles have large
surface area and exhibit antimicrobial properties and both thermal and chemical
stability. Thus, zinc oxide nanoparticles are widely used as efficient
nanoadsorbents. They find vast application in cosmetics and sunscreen lotions
due to its high UV protection properties. Moreover, zinc oxide nanoparticles
are used in paints and coatings, electronics, and textiles due to their
anti-corrosion, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties. The above mentioned
factor are responsible for the growth of the metal & metal oxide
nanoparticles market.
Moreover, growth of the metal & metal oxide
nanoparticles market, in the Asia Pacific, is mainly driven by the rapid growth
of the electronic industry; the largest consumer of the metal and metal oxide
nanoparticles. According to Retailers Association of India (RAI), sales of
consumer electronics increased by 2% in September 2020 and by 8% in October
2020, as compared with same months in the last year. Moreover, Indian appliances
and consumer electronics industry is expected to reach US$ 21.18 billion by
2025. There is also an increasing demand for metal oxide nanoparticles from the
automotive and pharmaceutical industries.
The metal & metal oxide nanoparticles market is
anticipated to witness strong growth in the medical sector due to its increased
application as anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agents. Over the years, the use
of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles has increased greatly as they are
manufactured in hundreds of thousands of tons for use in a diverse range of
products in markets. However, toxicity associated with metal & metal oxide
nanoparticles, as they are widely used in the electronic products, may
contaminate the environment, which in turn, is expected to hamper the metal
& metal oxide nanoparticles market growth.
