Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The nanotechnology field has continued to develop rapidly in the 6 years since
these three reports were published. In light of these developments, BCC has
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 volume 1 of the 2001 report on electronic, magnetic, and
optoelectronic 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 the applications covered by
this report.
Since these applications are a major target market for many suppliers of
nanoparticles and related technologies, BCC believes that this represents a
significant gap in the recent literature. The primary objective of this report
is to provide technological background, detailed industry information, and
market data and forecasts through 2012, segmented by application and material
type.
SCOPE OF STUDY
This report contains:
- Descriptions of various types of nanoparticles consumed to produce
chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) slurries, magnetic fluid seals,
magnetic tape coatings, optical fibers, passive electronic devices, phosphors,
and other products
- The current market status for nanoparticles, trends and forecasts for
growth over the next 5 years
- A discussion of various political, legal, and regulatory trends affecting
the industry
- Analysis of nanomaterials-related patents issued during the past 2 years
- Profiles of major and minor companies working with nanoparticles.
