The surge in demand for electric vehicles is poised to be a significant driver behind the expansion of the carbon nanomaterials market. Electric vehicles, relying on electric motors powered by external electricity sources, extensively utilize lithium-ion batteries as primary energy storage. Carbon nanomaterials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes play a pivotal role in enhancing the performance of these batteries. These materials are incorporated into lithium batteries to augment electrical conductivity in both positive and negative electrodes without disrupting the electrochemical redox reaction responsible for energy generation in electrochemical cells. For example, the Global EV Outlook 2022 report highlighted a remarkable doubling of electric vehicle sales in 2021, hitting a record high of 6.6 million, with global electric car sales surging from 2,980,000 units to 6,600,000 units. Thus, the heightened demand for electric vehicles serves as a catalyst for the growth of the carbon nanomaterials market.
The escalating demand within the aerospace industry is anticipated to be a pivotal factor propelling the expansion of the carbon nanomaterials market. The aerospace sector encompasses a range of activities and technologies associated with the design, manufacturing, and operation of aircraft and spacecraft. Carbon nanomaterials play a crucial role in elevating aerospace technology by offering improved thermal conductivity, enhanced mechanical properties, and optimized battery performance. These advancements translate into the creation of more efficient, robust, and high-performance aircraft and spacecraft. For instance, in August 2023, Cadrex, a US-based company, reported that aerospace industry revenue soared to $741 billion in 2022, marking a 3% increase from the previous year. The burgeoning demand within the aerospace industry stands as a significant driver behind the growth trajectory of the carbon nanomaterials market.
The prevailing trend in the carbon nanomaterials market revolves around technological advancements. Companies within this sector are actively embracing new technologies as part of their strategy to maintain market dominance. For instance, in March 2021, Cabot Corporation, a US-based chemical company, introduced the ENERMAX 6 carbon nanotube (CNT) series. This series is designed to enhance battery performance by elevating energy density at lower loadings. As a leading supplier of high-performance carbon additives, Cabot Corporation boasts a diverse product portfolio, including carbon black, graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and carbon nanostructures (CNS). Their innovative approach facilitates the augmentation of battery performance at lower loadings, thereby enabling cells to achieve higher energy density.
Prominent players operating in the carbon nanomaterials market are directing their focus towards innovative product development, exemplified by the creation of graphene nanotube dispersions. These dispersions, derived from graphene, a one-atom-thick two-dimensional carbon sheet renowned for its exceptional mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, are gaining traction. For instance, in April 2023, OCSiAl Group, a Europe-based company specializing in graphene nanotube production, launched 1% tuball batt NMP for cathodes and 0.8% tuball batt H2O for anodes. These products are instrumental in enhancing battery performance, specifically in terms of energy density, rapid charging capabilities, and cost reduction for lithium-ion batteries. Their applications span across established and emerging battery technologies, encompassing solid-state batteries and a dry battery electrode coating method. The incorporation of nanotubes establishes robust electrical networks among active material particles, thereby improving essential battery properties such as cycle life, reduced DCR, C-rate performance, and cohesion between active battery material particles. This enhancement results in more resilient battery electrodes.
In October 2023, Birla Carbon, an India-based manufacturer and supplier of carbon black, successfully acquired Nanocyl S.A. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move aims to enhance Birla Carbon's presence in the battery materials segment, particularly those crucial for the operation of lithium-ion batteries.
