Nanocrystal market size, share & industry analysis, By Type (Nanocrystalline Cellulose, Nanocrystalline Silicon), By End-Use (Medical, Electronics, Aerospace, Energy, Packaging, Others) and regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Nanocrystals are the particles of materials who have at least one of its dimensions less than 100 nanometers. These particles are distinguished on the base of the size of the crystal. When employed with solids, nanocrystal exhibits exceptional properties like complex melting behaviour, efficient light emission and other. These nanocrystals are used to study the behaviour of macroscopic samples of same materials.

Increasing demand for nanocrystalline cellulose in medical, personal care and cosmetics industries is likely to drive the market growth. The extensive use of nanocellulose in tampons, diapers, sanitary napkins, and wound dressings is surging the demand for nanocellulose crystals. Additionally, the adoption of solar cells and panels as energy source is expected to boost the demand for nanocrystalline silicon that is used in the solar cells.

However, synthesis of nanocrystals involves various complicated processes. The manufacturing cost of such nanocrystals is generally higher which is anticipated to limit the market growth.
