Summary:
Carbon nanotubes offer the electronics industry properties that few materials
platforms could ever hope to match. These include ultra-fast switching speeds,
high conductivity for interconnection, excellent thermal properties and a high
degree of compatibility with the dominant CMOS paradigm. Although carbon
nanotube electronics has been speculated about for well over a decade, the first
products are now about to reach the market in the form of non-volatile memory,
field emission displays and sensors, with serious commercial work being done on
using carbon nanotubes in thermal management and interconnects.
But while nanotube electronics promises interesting new products in a number
of different areas, these products will all be facing stiff competition. Field
emission displays, for example, will compete with displays using LCDs, LEDs,
plasma and CRTs. A similar story can be told for nanotube-based sensors, memory
and interconnects. It therefore becomes vitally important to determine what the
real addressable markets for nanotube electronics products are. To provide
clients with guidance on where the most attractive opportunities lie,
NanoMarkets is releasing this new report, which combines a technology
assessment, eight-year market forecast and appraisal of the market strategies of
leading firms active in the emerging carbon nanotube electronics business.
