Nanoporous market size, share & industry analysis, By Type ( Zeolite, Clays, Silica Gel, Activated Alumina), By Application (Petroleum Refining, Pet Litter, Water treatment, Food and Beverages, Chemical Processing, Detergents, Others) and regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Nanoporous are the unvarying organic or inorganic framework that aids a porous assembly. The size of the pores is normally 100 nanometres but can vary according to the application aspect. They are broadly classified in two types namely bulk materials and membranes. These materials are manufactured from raw materials but they can also be synthesized in laboratory. These materials have even sized pores in them which let pass certain substances through them and block all others.

Increasing demand from biomedical and chemical sectors is shall foster the market growth. Nanoporous materials are used as catalysts, nano-reactors, ion-exchange resin, adsorbent, mediate with lower dielectric constant. Additionally, the biomedical applications include decontamination, as filters in dialysis, antibacterial agent and medium for slow drug release. The increasing use of zeolites, as high end catalyst and backbone of many chemical reactions is expected to boost the market growth.

However, these materials are nano-sized which can easily get in the respiratory tract. Certain types of nanomaterials contain high levels of heavy metals like mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium and other which is harmful for human. Erionite, a type of zeolite is carcinogenic in nature which is likely to hamper the market growth.
