Carbon nanotubes are finding their way into EV batteries, energy storage systems, and electronics because they conduct electricity at very low loadings. A new Transparency Market Research report puts the market at USD 8.9 billion in 2025 and projects USD 39.1 billion by 2036, a 14.4% CAGR. The main demand pull comes from battery gigafactories, especially in Asia Pacific, plus growing interest in high-nickel cathodes and silicon-dominant anodes. The report also highlights grid-scale storage as a growth opportunity. CNT-based conductive additives can help next-generation battery chemistries handle resistance and material expansion. For readers tracking decarbonization, the relevance is in materials supply chains for electrification, not just the market forecast.
