Abstract
NanoMarkets' Printed Electronics Materials Database is the industry' s
most comprehensive source of business information on the printed electronics
materials market. Derived from NanoMarkets on-going research and analysis
program, the database offers users detailed information and analysis of 200
plus firms active in the PE materials business along with market forecasts -
both qualitative and quantitative -- of the inks, substrates and barrier
materials used in printing displays, RFID, transistors, backplanes,
photovoltaics, memory, sensors, batteries, etc.
The database also includes an analysis of the trends and developments driving
the PE business as a whole and how they are impacting the opportunities for
specialty chemicals, materials, inks and substrates manufacturers.
The database breaks out into three segments:
Module I: Supplier Index
This module provides users with comprehensive data set on the 200 most
important companies that are shaping the printed electronics materials
business. Included in the database are manufacturers of raw materials, ink
manufactures and printed electronics applications developers with proprietary
materials, as well as printing equipment and printing firms who strongly
influence the materials used in printed electronics. For each firm we provide
the following information:
- Product focus
- Markets served and marketing strategy
- Manufacturing processes used
- R&D
- Strategic investments and partnerships
- Financial performance
- Geographic involvement
Each profile also includes NanoMarkets' strategic assessment of each company' s
strength' s weaknesses and prospects for the future.
Module II: Materials Trends
This module presents NanoMarkets overall outlook for the printed electronics
materials business in both quantitative and qualitative terms. It contains
forecasts and pricing analysis for a variety of inks and substrates:
- Metallic (silver, gold, copper, nickel),
- Organic (polymers, small molecules, oligomers, dendrimers)
- Inorganic (carbon nanotubes, nanowires, silicon, metallic oxides.)
- Substrates (plastic, glass, paper, foil)
Conductors, semiconductors, dielectrics, photovoltaic materials and
light-emitting materials will all be covered and special consideration will be
given to the growing role of nanomaterials in printed electronics.
The materials module will also provide information and guidance on key trends
in printed electronics materials in the following areas:
- Physical and electrical properties (flexibility, conductivity, thermal and
environmental stability, etc.)
- Manufacturing processes (screen, inkjet, flexo, gravure, spin coating,
mixed printing/deposition approaches, roll-to-roll)
- R&D and formulation/chemistry trends
Module III: Market Trends and Outlook
This segment provides qualitative analysis and market forecasts for how
NanoMarkets sees the industry progressing over the next 18 months bases on
developments in all aspects of the value chain and what they mean for the
materials business. Areas covered will include:
- Current and future applications requirements for materials
- How technology, manufacturing and device developments impact the materials
sector
- Market acceptance for new materials
- Pricing and BOM trends
- Market forecasts in volume and value terms
The database is updated and extended every six months to keep up with our
rapidly expanding sector. Clients can subscribe to the database annually or
purchase modules on an individualized basis. This database will provide
invaluable information for all manufacturers and investors involved with or
interested in the printed electronics business. Sample profiles are available
upon request.
