Metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs, are highly crystalline, porous materials with nanometre-sized pores and large internal surface areas. Their structures make them useful for applications such as carbon capture, adsorption of greenhouse gas methane, and dehumidification of air for room climate control.  MOFs exhibit unique physicochemical properties, including high surface area, ultra-high porosity, low crystal density as well as remarkable thermal and chemical stabilities. 

The Global Market for Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) 2024-2035 provides a comprehensive analysis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), an emerging class of highly porous materials with molecules designed to enable customized properties across diverse applications from gas storage and separation to water harvesting, biomedicine, sensors, energy storage and more.

The report analyzes key synthesis methods, structure and properties of MOFs in comparison to other porous materials like zeolites and covalent organic frameworks (COFs). An assessment of global market revenues and demand forecasts from 2018-2035 is provided, segmented by end-use sector and region. Granular ten-year projections provide market outlooks for MOF adoption in carbon capture and storage, catalysis, coatings, biomedicine, sensors, air and water filtration, water harvesting, energy storage, heat exchangers, fuel cells, optics and imaging, HVAC, quantum computing, and agriculture,  industries where these advanced materials promise performance advantages and sustainability benefits.

The report provides a comprehensive market analysis, including current market size and revenue projections from 2018 to 2035. It segments the market by end-use application and region, offering insights into the growth potential of MOFs in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.

Intellectual property is a crucial aspect of the MOF industry, and this report dedicates a section to the analysis of global MOF patent applications, patenting by sector, and patenting by regional authority. This information is invaluable for companies and investors looking to navigate the competitive landscape and identify key players in the field.

Additionally, the report profiles 39 leading companies and start-ups commercializing MOF technologies including innovative startups and major corporations. Competencies and partnerships span R&D around novel MOF production techniques, commercialization of formulations targeting gas separation/storage, drug delivery, water harvesting and next-generation solutions for carbon dioxide removal and heat exchangers. Companies profiled include Atomis, BASF, Disruptive Materials AB, H2MOF, novoMOF AG, Nuada, NuMat Technologies, Inc., and ProfMOF (full list of companies in table of contents).
