TechNavio today launched its report Global Nanofiber Market 2012-2016 based on an in-depth analysis covering the Americas, the EMEA region, and the APAC region. The report aims to aid decision makers’ understanding of the present and future landscape of the market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Hardware team said: ”Nanofibers are very effective when used in filtration media and are therefore being increasingly used in air, gas, and water filters. The use of nanofibers enhances filter performance by facilitating the highest flow rate possible while trapping and retaining the finest particles/impurities without causing any blockage in the filter. In addition, the use of nanofibers is seen to improve the interception and inertial impaction efficiencies of filters. Nanofibers are currently used in commercial air and water filters, and as combustion engine filtration media in automobiles. Thus, the increasing usage of nanofibers is catalyzing the growth of the Global Nanofiber market.”
According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the increasing demand for nanofibers in the Electronics sector, where they are used to enhance the mechanical strength, thermal resistance, and reactivity of the devices that they are used in. Nanofibers are also used in applications such as heat management, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and devices such as conductors.
Further, the report states that it is known that nanofibers are dangerous and cause health hazards if they are inhaled. Nanofibers can cause fatal diseases such as lung cancer. Thus, the serious health implications of nanofibers constitute a major challenge in this market.
The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market. The key vendors dominating this market space are Ahlstrom Corp., Donaldson Co. Inc., E. I. du Pont Nemours and Co., Hollingsworth and Vose Co., and Johns Manville.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
