Abstract
Nanotechnology has begun to infiltrate every industrial sector, creating a
broad range of emerging business opportunities from next-generation computer
memory and storage devices to advanced drug delivery systems. This growth is
expected to rapidly grow over the next five years as technologies that have
heretofore been R&D projects enter the market and begin enhance, or sometimes
displace, conventional technologies. Overall, it is expected that the market
for the nanotechnology-enabled products reviewed in this report will grow at a
CAGR of about 48.4% through 2010.
Key Trend Areas
- Nanotech-enabled semiconductor technologies
- Nanotech-enabled memory and storage technologis
- Nanotech-enabled display technologies
- Nanotech-enabled optic/photonic technologies
- Nanotech-enabled energy technologies
- Nanotech-enabled bio/health technologies
The following table outlines the overall projected growth by six key
industrial segments that are exploiting nanotechnologies. In many cases, these
technologies are at the early stages of commercialization and so growth curves
may appear surprisingly high. In most cases, however, these technologies have
had a long R&D incubation period and industry is actively seeking materials,
devices, systems and solutions that will extend product development into the
next decade.
