Abstract
INTRODUCTION
By considering advanced materials within the context of many different
advanced sensor categories, and also within their eventual sensor
applications, advanced material and advanced sensor professionals can consider
the entire landscape of current and developing technologies in order to make
better strategic and market-based business decisions.
SCOPE OF STUDY
This report contains:
- Descriptions of various types of advanced materials
- An examination of how sensor products are used in the context of several
different applications, including vehicular sensing; aerospace and aviation
sensing; civil engineering sensing; security, law enforcement, and defense
related sensing; navigation sensing; medical sensing, and several others
- Discussion of technologies along with a thorough patent analysis
- The current market status of advanced materials, trends, and forecasts for
growth over the next 5 years
- Analysis of the sensors industry on a worldwide basis, both from a market
and application perspective
- A discussion of the legal and regulatory factors that must be considered
for each of the different market and technology categories.
INFORMATION SOURCES
Additionally, BCC analyzed greater than 2,300 utility patents filed in the
U.S. and throughout the world on advanced materials, advanced sensors, and
sensor related application inventions.
