Nanocoating Enjoys Largest Share in Iran’s Nanotechnology Products Market
A recent report assessed the nano products market in Iran by studyin the technologies used and analyzed the share of each technology in this market.
The results show that nanocoating enjoys the largest share and other nano-related technologies have also been widely used in various industries.
The most important reasons for the high share of nanocoating is the wide range of applications in industries within Iran, the high market demand due to Iran's climatic conditions, the effect of this technology in reducing costs and increasing the lifespan of equipment, and its connection with booming industries, including auto-making, construction, and oil and gas.
The share of each nano-related technologies in the Iranian market is as follows; nanocoating (41%), nanocomposite (27%), nanocatalyst (12%), thermal oxidation (10%), surface finishing and treatment (4%), nanomixture (mixing of nanomaterials) (3%), other technologies (3%), drug delivery (1%).
Iran has made nanotechnology a priority in recent years, achieving remarkable success. The nanotechnology research website StatNano has ranked Iran as fourth in the world in nanotechnology publications.
The number of scientific articles is deemed a significant parameter for measuring and comparing scientific development, according to StatNano that provides the global and regional ranking of the main indicators of nano science, technology, and industry. China was atop the rankings, followed by the United States and India.
International entities have acknowledged Iranian contributions to the field. In February 2022, the American Institute of Physics published a scholarly article on the use of nanomaterials for cancer treatment by Iranian scientists.
Among Iran's nanotechnology products, 42% are related to construction, 17% to petroleum and 13% to automobile manufacturing.
Nanotechnology refers to industrial production from atomic and molecule-sized matter. It leverages the properties of nanoparticles into a wide range of applications spanning a vast number of industries. Key accomplishments in the field of nanotechnology can be seen across a wide variety of engineering, energy and medical sectors.
