The global nanomaterials market size was valued at USD 36.73 Billion in 2024. The market is expected to reach USD 136.47 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 14.91% during 2025-2033. North America currently dominates the market, holding a significant market share of over 32.7% in 2024. The market is expanding due to rising demand across industries like electronics, healthcare and energy. Increasing investment in R&D and sustainability-focused solutions further fuels the market growth.
Nanomaterials (NMs) are microscopic particles in the nanometer (nm) scale occurring naturally, such as blood-borne proteins that are found in the blood and body fat. They can also be engineered to perform specialized functions. At present, they find extensive applications in the manufacturing of sunscreens, cosmetics, sports equipment, stain-resistant clothing, tires, and electronics. They are also utilized in medical diagnosis, imaging, drug delivery, and environmental remediation.
The properties of conventional construction materials can be enhanced with the usage of NMs. This represents one of the key factors positively influencing the employment of NMs in the construction sector worldwide. Besides this, there is an increase in the use of NMs in fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, sensors, quality stimulants, food packaging, and nutraceuticals. They are also used in aircraft as a substitute for conventional composites to help reduce their weight and save fuel. In addition, NMs are utilized in automotive exhaust and petroleum refining systems to improve chemical reactions while minimizing pollution and expenses. Apart from this, they are contributing to modern dentistry in composite resin and bonding systems, coating materials for dental implants, and dental restorations. This, coupled with the rising adoption of NMs in water and wastewater treatment on account of their reactivity and adsorption capacities, is propelling the market growth. Moreover, scientists have developed a biosensor system using NMs, which can diagnose the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) successfully. This, along with recent advancements in nanomaterials and nanodevices, such as nanosensors, nano-emulsions, and nanopesticides, is projected to facilitate the market growth. Furthermore, the rising utilization of platinum (Pt)-based NMs in the energy sector is augmenting the overall sales and profitability.
