Nanocopper oxide is defined as a red or brown-black colored nanomaterial which is available in various forms and is used to meet the needs of the diversified application-base. These nanoparticles are known to possess several chemical and physical features which include antimicrobial and antibiocide properties, coupled with photovoltaic properties, relatively stability, and superconductivity. These nanomaterials are generally used in small quantity to boost the performance of the end-product and are considered to be advanced cost-efficient solutions. Thus, these are used to manufacture batteries, semiconductor devices and equipment, gas sensors, microelectronics, and other equipment. Through extensive research and development activities, these nanoparticles have found applications in biomedical, agricultural, textile, and other relevant industries.
Based on end user, the nanocopper oxide market is segmented into electrical and electronics, paints and coatings, catalysts, energy storage, and others. In 2018, the electrical and electronics segment dominated the nanocopper oxide market; however, the paints and coatings segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during forecast period. The nanoparticles of copper oxide uniquely possess catalytic, optical, mechanical, and electrical characteristic features which make them ideal material to be used across electronic and electrical applications. Moreover, they also exhibit photovoltaic and photoconductive properties, which have led to an increase in demand across electrical and electronic applications. With the rapid industrialization and increase in demand for advanced technologies, the demand for nanocopper oxide is expected to rise.
Impact assessment of COVID-19
COVID-19outbreak first began in Wuhan (China) in December 2019 and since then it has spread at a fast pace across the globe. As of March 2020, China, Italy, Iran, Spain, republic of Korea, France, Germany, and the US are some of the worst affected countries in terms of positive cases and reported deaths. According to the latest WHO figures, as updated on May 18, 2020, there are 4,589,526 confirmed cases and 310,391 total deaths globally. The COVID-19 outbreak has been affecting economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The global chemical and materials industry is one of the major industries that are facing serious disruptions such as supply chain breaks, technology events cancellations, office shutdowns etc. as a result of this outbreak.
