The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), as part of the activities of the European Observatory for Nanomaterials (EUON), has launched a survey on the nanomaterials present on the European market, their main areas of application and the volumes involved.

Conducted by NovaMechanics Ltd. it begins with a questionnaire for companies that produce, market or use nanomaterials. This will be followed, for those who wish, by focus groups to provide a realistic projection of the growth of the nanomaterials market over the next five years.
