Metal Nanoparticle: A Brief Overview
Metal nanoparticles are corrosive, volatile chemical elements that are fiery red-brown liquids at room temperature and vaporize to form metals at overwhelming pressures. Metal nanoparticles contain a metal or metal oxide core surrounded by an organic, inorganic, or metal oxide shell. The demand for metal nanoparticle compounds as a flame retardant has gone up in recent years due to flame retardants being used in both residential and commercial applications. Metal nanoparticles are also used in water treatment, which is also expected to spur the market's growth in the near future.
Global Metal Nanoparticle Market Trends
Growth Drivers
Rising Application in the Food & Beverages Industry
The food & beverages industry is one of the largest industries in the world. According to FoodDrinkEurope, a food industry confederation in the EU, the food and beverage industry in the EU is worth USD 1.36 trillion. Technological advancements in technology has created several applications for metal nanoparticles in the food & beverages industry. One such application is in food processing. Nanostructured food ingredients with metal nanoparticles are being developed by companies claiming to improve the taste, texture, and consistency of food. Metal nanoparticles are also used to produce nanoemulsions in the beverages industries, and these nanoemulsions can be found in various soft drinks, fortified waters, juices, or dairy products. Furthermore, metal nanoparticles such as silver, iron oxide, titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, and zinc oxide are used in packaging food products as antimicrobial agents or ultraviolet (UV) light absorbers. Therefore, the rising application of metal nanoparticles in the food beverages industry is expected to create a growing demand for metal nanoparticles in the future, thereby driving the growth of the global metal nanoparticles market.
Restraint
Highly Expensive Nature of Metal Nanoparticles
The high cost of metal nanoparticles is one of the major challenges to the growth of the global metal nanoparticles market. Currently, the price of 1 gram of gold nanoparticles with particle diameter 50-100nm is $378, while 1 gram of pure gold costs around USD 62.14. Similarly, the cost of 10 grams of zinc oxide nanoparticles is USD 29.00, while the cost of 1 kilogram of zinc oxide costs around $2.5. Therefore, low prices may discourage small-scale buyers from purchasing metal nanoparticles, which is hampering the growth of the global metal nanoparticles market.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Metal Nanoparticle Market
The pandemic led to nationwide lockdowns worldwide, starting with European countries. The lockdown created disruptions across the entire supply chain, and companies operating in the metal nanoparticles market were affected severely. Difficulties in raw material procurement due to closed borders & lockdown, cash-flow constraints, shortage of labor, and reduced demand were some of the major issues faced by the metal nanoparticle companies in 2020.
Various companies explored the potential of using metallic nanoparticles in the hope of finding a cure for the COVID-19. For instance, Cicada, a UK-based subsidiary of automotive industry specialist Duracare, introduced a long-term antimicrobial solution in December 2020 to eliminate coronaviruses from surfaces. The company used nanoparticles to create this antimicrobial solution as the COVID-19 virus is around 125 nm in diameters, and nanoparticles with a smaller size can alter the virus's properties and neutralize it genetically. Cicada tried using metals like zinc, copper, and silver due to their excellent antimicrobial properties.
Global Metal Nanoparticle Market- By Metal Type
The global metal nanoparticles market is fragmented into platinum, gold, silver, copper, nickel, iron, and others based on metal types. Among these, silver accounted for the largest market share in 2021 owing to their antimicrobial efficacy counter to bacteria, viruses, and other eukaryotic microorganisms, and broad application areas in electrical & electronics and healthcare industries. However, the gold nanoparticles segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to their exceptional optical characteristics, biocompatibility, and rich surface chemistry.
Global Metal Nanoparticle Market- By End-Use
Based on end-use industries, the global metal nanoparticles market is segmented into pharmaceutical & healthcare, food & beverages, electrical & electronics, catalyst, personal care & cosmetics, and others. Among these, the pharmaceutical & healthcare segment is predicted to be the fastest-growing in the global metal nanoparticles market in the forecast horizon. Several metal nanoparticles are used in image-guided in-vivo therapies and in-vitro techniques to detect variations in organs and tissues. Furthermore, the increase in the demand for innovative drugs and target-specific diagnosis & therapeutics is impelling the introduction of new and advanced materials, thereby driving the growth of the pharmaceutical & healthcare segment of the metal nanoparticle market.
Global Metal Nanoparticle Market- Regional Insights
North America, Europe, the Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa make up the global metal nanoparticle market. Among these regions, North America dominates the global metal nanoparticles market with the highest market share in 2021. The presence of leading players, along with growing EV sales, investment in renewables, and high investment in R&D of pharmaceutical products is driving the growth of the market in North America region. On the other hand, the Asia Pacific is anticipated to have the highest revenue share in the global metal nanoparticles market during the forecast period (2022-2028), owing to the flourishing end-user segments, such as electronics & semiconductor, and healthcare industries in nations in the region.
Global Metal Nanoparticle Market- Competitive Landscape
