Executive Summary

Nanofibers are spherical structures with an aspect ratio larger than 50 nanometers and an exterior diameter less than 1,000 nanometers. They have emerged as a robust, eco-friendly, and economical material of modern times. Due to the ongoing commercialization of scalable production techniques, the material is of immense significance. Researchers and industrialists are analyzing and exploring new nanofiber manufacturing processes such as advanced electrospinning and needleless spinning methods.

Recently, the delivery of antibacterial medications has drawn constant attention. The rising healthcare sector and the persistent need for filtration and separation materials will likely boost the nanofibers market size over the projected timeframe.

The study highlights the latest developments in nanofiber technology, including material types, fabrication processes, and end-use. It offers a detailed market analysis for the nanofibers market by segment (i.e., material, end-use, region), describing technical aspects and trends affecting future market growth. Mechanical, chemical, and environmental end-use currently account for the largest market share, where nanofibers are primarily used to fabricate filtration media, catalysts, and chemical additives. North America is the largest nanofibers market due to its dominant position in production capacity, research and development (R& D), supportive government policies, early adoption, consumer awareness, and high medical, filtration, and energy storage consumption.

As per the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 28% of greenhouse gas emissions are due to transportation, whereas electricity production and industrial processing account for 25% and 23%, respectively (U.S. Energy Information Administration (2022); IPCC (2022): Climate Change 2022). Nanofibers can reduce reliance on fossil fuels, resulting in substantially reduced carbon footprints. Due to the dynamic nature of nanofibers, regulatory bodies such as REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals), Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are focusing on a more evidence-based approach that requires more extensive data on the lifecycle, exposure, and toxicity of nanofibers. Regulating the nanofiber industry not only balances innovation but also promotes environmental stewardship.
