Abstract
Nanotechnology is going to pave the way for a revolution in materials,
information and communication technology, medicine, genetics and so on as it
starts leaving the laboratories and conquering new markets. It helps to
improve products and production processes with better characteristics or new
functionalities. In coming years, products based on nanotechnology are
expected to impact nearly all-industrial sectors, entering into the consumer
markets in large quantities. Considering the future prospects of
nanotechnology, countries across the world are investing heavily into this
sector.
Identifying the future prospects of this industry, RNCOS, the leading market
research company, has come up with an analytical study - "Nanotechnology
Market Forecast till 2011". This updated and detailed research evaluates the
past, current and future scenario of the global nanotechnology market coupled
with an overview on its emerging trends. The report segments the
nanotechnology market by application, patent and R&D investment. It discusses
the nanotechnology market by key countries showing their prominence in the
sector together with the emerging nations in the domain.
