The production of polymer nanomembranes often involves complex and expensive fabrication processes, which can limit their large-scale manufacturing and widespread adoption. Ensuring consistent quality, uniform pore size, and structural integrity across large-scale production of nanomembranes is challenging. Variations in quality may affect performance and reliability.
Industries such as automotive, construction, and consumer goods, which are significant consumers of polymer nanomembranes, experienced reduced demand due to economic uncertainties and lockdown measures, leading to a decrease in market growth. The pandemic caused disruptions in supply chains due to lockdowns, restrictions, and reduced manufacturing capacities. This led to delays in the production and distribution of materials and equipment required for nanomembrane manufacturing.
Increased demand for nanomembranes in healthcare, especially in medical devices, drug delivery systems, wound care, and biosensors, due to their biocompatibility and controlled release properties.
Nanomembranes are increasingly used in advanced filtration systems for various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, catering to the demand for high-efficiency filtration solutions. Research and development focusing on incorporating antiviral or antibacterial properties in nanomembranes, especially in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, for applications in protective gear and environmental hygiene.

Based on type, the market is divided into polyacrylonitrile (pan), polyethylene (pe), polyvinylidene fluoride (pvdf), polyamide, polypropylene (pp), others. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) held the dominant market share of USD 274.5 million in 2022. The high chemical and thermal stability of PAN nanomembranes makes them suitable for water purification, desalination, and filtration, driving demand in the water treatment industry. PAN nanomembranes are used in medical devices, drug delivery systems, wound healing, and tissue engineering due to their biocompatibility and controlled release properties, increasing demand in the healthcare sector.

Based on technology, the market is categorized into phase inversion, electrospinning, layer-by-layer assembly. Phase inversion accounted for over 70% market share in 2022 and is projected to grow through 2032. Phase inversion is a crucial process in the fabrication of polymeric membranes, including nanomembranes, and it can significantly impact the properties and performance of the membranes. The parameters during phase inversion, such as choice of solvent, coagulant, temperature, and polymer concentration, can be adjusted to control the pore size, porosity, and thickness of the resulting membrane, allowing for customization based on specific application requirements.
