Carbon nanotubes are minuscule allotropes of carbon having sizes to the scale of nanometers. The physical, electrical, and thermal properties make these a special material for number of applications. CNTs have very high tensile strength, excellent electrical conductivity, and the ability to bear high working temperatures. However, not withstanding some challenges like high cost of production and integration issues, the CNTS application markets have made great breakthroughs.

CNTs enabled nanotechnology to become one of the most sought-after technologies and have made a huge impact on a wide range of applications such as electronics, medicine, aerospace, defense, automotives, energy, construction, etc. With some of the big producers stepping up their production capacities, the prices of CNTs are bound to come down and this will induce a spiraling effect on the application areas; thereby pushing up the demand for CNTs. With extensive research regarding CNTs being carried out by almost all the leading companies in the above mentioned application areas, the challenges of integration of CNTs will eventually loosen out and in a nutshell, it would be said that CNTs are the hottest nanomaterial in the time to come.

The global market for CNTs has grown during the past few years, driven by superior properties and adaptability of CNTs in major end-user industry applications. The CNTs market is expected to register a healthy growth on account of growth in the key end-user industries. The Asia-Pacific market is a major consumer of CNTs with highest usage in electronics & semiconductors and advanced materials industries. In 2012, the production and revenue generation of CNTs was witnessed to be high in the Asia-Pacific region, followed by the North America region.

This study basically aims to estimate the global market of CNTs for 2013 and to forecast the expected demand of the same in 2018. This market research study provides a detailed qualitative and quantitative analysis of the global CNTs market. It provides a comprehensive review of major market drivers, restraints, opportunities, winning imperatives, challenges, and key issues in the market. The market is further segmented and forecasted for major regions of North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (ROW).
