Market Challenges

High Production Costs

Producing high-quality MWCNTs requires advanced synthesis methods like CVD, which involve expensive catalysts and precise control, increasing costs. This limits scalability and adoption in cost-sensitive applications.

Environmental and Health Concerns

The fibrous nature of MWCNTs raises concerns about potential health risks, such as respiratory issues if inhaled, and environmental impacts due to their persistence. Stricter regulations, particularly in Europe, may impose limitations on their use, requiring manufacturers to invest in safer production methods.

Competition from Alternatives

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and other nanomaterials like graphene compete with MWCNTs in certain applications due to their superior electrical properties. While MWCNTs are more cost-effective, SWCNTs are gaining traction in high-performance electronics, posing a competitive threat.
