Nano-Fiber based Adhesives in Medical Field - Competitor and Patent Landscape Report - Key players, innovators and industry analysis

Nanotechnology has a very diverse application right from its inception in early 1990’s. Already Nanotechnology based products are increasing proving themselves with their efficiency and better properties with the consumers. Global medical market for nanotechnology applications was worth $1.7 billion in 2007 and is estimated to be nearly $9.4 billion in 2018 with a compounded annual growth rate between 14.9% & 19.9% between 2010 and 2018. One such field is the field of Nano-fibre based adhesives for drug delivery, wound closure, implants fixation etc. Developments regarding the working of Nano-fibre based adhesives especially the gecko inspired Nano-fiber adhesives started with the discovery of its working in 2001 and it was explained by the weak Van der Waals forces. Later several developments occurred in this field and several products based on Nanostructure adhesion are in the pipeline or are being launched.
