Nanotechnology: Nanotechnology Applications and Global Market
In 2013, the Nanotechnology Consumer Products Inventory contained 1,628 consumer products that have been introduced to the market since 2005, ranging from clothing to medical products.
The use of nanotechnology is being researched and developed in many areas, including:
- Developing new optical, electronic and optoelectronic devices.
- Improving energy storage and efficiency.
- Creating highly effective mechanical and bio-electronic interfaces.
- Advancing new methods of medical imaging, treatment, and therapeutics. (NIOSH, 2004)
In 2013, it was estimated more than $1 trillion in global revenue from nano-enabled products.
