Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Nanotechnology has continued to develop rapidly in the 6 years since these
three reports were published. In light of these developments, BCC Research
decided to take a fresh look at the industry and reevaluate the existing and
potential markets for nanoparticulate materials. The present report is an
update of the 2001 report on biomedical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic
applications of nanoparticles.
There are a number of other published reports and studies covering various
aspects of the market for nanoparticles and nanostructured materials. However,
the literature lacks a comprehensive, up-to-date, and realistic technical
market assessment that focuses on nanoparticles in biomedical, pharmaceutical,
and cosmetic applications.
SCOPE OF STUDY
This report contains:
- Descriptions of various types of nanoparticles including nanoparticulate
ceramics, metals, alloys, and semiconductors in the form of dry powders,
liquid dispersions, coatings and bulk materials
- The current market status for nanoparticles, trends and forecasts for
growth over the next 5 years
- Discussion of organic nanoparticles such as lipids and dendrimers that are
expected to play a significant role in future applications
- Analysis of nanomaterials-related patents issued during the past 2 years
- Profiles of major and minor companies working with nanoparticles.
