The Carbon Nanotubes Market size is estimated to reach $18.2  Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 17.9% during the forecast period 2025-2031, according to a recent report published by IndustryARC, titled, “Carbon Nanotubes Market- Type (Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) and Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs)), Production Method (Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), Arc Discharge, Laser Ablation and Others), By Application (Battery components, Polymer composites, Biosensors, Coaxial Cables, 3D printing, Fabrics & Fibers, Elastomers and Others), End Use Industry Industry (Electronics & Semiconductors, Energy & Power, Healthcare , Aerospace & Defence, Automotive and Others) and By Geography Analysis - Global Opportunity Analysis & Industry Forecast, 2025-2031.

The growing demand for advanced materials, driven by industries seeking lightweight, durable, and high-performance solutions, is fueling the expansion of the carbon nanotube market. Additionally, the focus on battery recycling and sustainability is pushing the development of carbon nanotube-based technologies that enhance energy storage efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

In 2024, the North America region held the largest share of 40% in the Carbon Nanotubes Market, particularly driven by strong demand across industries such as electronics, energy, and aerospace. The region’s leadership is supported by companies like US Research Nanomaterials, Inc., which supply versatile CNTs used in a range of applications, from energy storage to advanced manufacturing. North America's dominance is further reinforced by its robust research, development and funding , along with favorable government policies and investments aimed at advancing nanotechnology and sustainable materials. For example, in November 2024, Dotz Nano Limited, a leading innovator in carbon nanomaterials, announced a strategic funding agreement with Mercer Street Global Opportunity Fund, LLC, a prominent US-based investment fund. This funding infusion highlights the growing interest in carbon nanotubes and their potential in critical sectors like environmental sustainability, where DOTZearth aims to offer innovative solutions for reducing carbon emissions. 

The growing demand for advanced materials is driving innovation in the carbon nanotube (CNT) market, as industries seek high-performance, lightweight, and durable materials for a wide range of applications. In May 2024, TrimTabs, a Welsh-based startup, introduced an innovative process to upcycle waste polymers into a light yet super-strong composite material incorporating carbon nanotubes. This breakthrough material holds significant potential for diverse industries, including energy storage and transmission, automotive, construction, electronics, medical, and aerospace. By utilizing waste polymers, TrimTabs not only creates a high-performance material but also contributes to sustainability efforts by reducing waste and improving the circularity of materials in these critical sectors.This development aligns with the growing demand for CNTs in advanced manufacturing, where their exceptional mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties are highly valued. The ability to create strong, lightweight composites from waste polymers and CNTs opens up new possibilities for designing more efficient, environmentally friendly products. In industries such as automotive and aerospace, where weight reduction is crucial for performance and energy efficiency, these composite materials can enable the development of lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles and aircraft. 

The increasing investment in nanotechnology is fueling the growth and commercialization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with both startups and established companies making significant strides in the field. For instance, in May 2024, Bengaluru-based startup NoPo Nanotechnologies secured $3 million in a pre-Series A funding round to scale up its production of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). This investment will enable the company to enhance its engineering capabilities and execute a global go-to-market strategy, signaling the growing demand for CNTs in various industries. As NoPo Nanotechnologies expands its production, it aims to meet the rising demand for SWCNTs in applications such as energy storage, electronics, and healthcare, further driving innovation in the nanotechnology sector.Similarly, in November 2024, Quebec-based NanoIntegris Technologies Inc., a supplier of high-purity nanomaterials, announced the launch of two cutting-edge product lines: advanced graphene materials and semiconducting carbon nanotubes. This move positions NanoIntegris as a key player in the rapidly evolving nanomaterials market, offering innovative solutions for applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and energy storage. By introducing high-performance products like semiconducting CNTs, NanoIntegris is addressing the growing demand for advanced materials in industries such as semiconductor manufacturing and renewable energy.
