Iran’s nano-products exported to nearly 50 countries: Official
Secretary of Iran Nanotechnology Innovation Council Emad Ahmadvand said that Iranian-made nanotechnology products are exported to 49 countries, about 60 percent of the products are exported to Iraq, Syria, India, China and Turkey.
The country’s export of nano-products in the previous Iranian calendar year (ended March 19, 2024) showed a 110% growth compared to the same period last year, the official note, as reported by Mehr News Agency.
He stated that $145 million worth of nanotechnology products was exported from the country from March 21, 2023 to March 19, 2024. Iran had exported $69 million worth of nanotechnology products between March 21, 2022 to March 20, 2023, the official noted. Ahmadvand further pointed out that sales of nano-made products in Iran in the previous Iranian year increased by 104% compared to the related figure for a year earlier.
The nano-coating technologies, nano-composites, and nano-catalysts accounted for major share at the domestic nano-tech market, he added. One of the industries that have experienced good growth in Iran in recent years, proving the country’s scientific development, is the nanotechnology industry, a subject area that has brought Iran to the world’s fourth place.
An Iranian new technology-based firm has recently paved the way for exporting its technological products to China by signing an agreement during the China Nano 2024 exhibition. The contract aims to introduce the company’s advanced nano-products into the Chinese market.
Hamzeh Qojavand, the commercial director of Payamavaran Nanotechnology Fardanegar, highlighted the company’s innovative production methods, saying, “Our company has successfully produced various nanomaterials using two methods: electrical explosion of wire and electrical membrane technology. “
He went on to say that prior to the exhibition, we established contacts with Chinese partners and sent product samples. Fortunately, during the exhibition, we reached an agreement on future orders, and the contract was finalized. We hope that China, as a vast market, will provide an opportunity for the growth of Iranian technological products. The successful participation of the Iranian company demonstrates the technical and export capabilities of Iran’s nanotechnology industry and opens doors for expanding international cooperation in the field.
