Summary

BCC Research's goal in conducting this study is to explore advanced materials as they currently impact or are anticipated to impact advanced sensor technologies and markets. Since advanced materials are constantly evolving and improving, current markets cannot fully anticipate the impact that advanced materials will have on future markets. It is, therefore, imperative to consider advanced materials within the context of the current advanced materials, sensors, and sensor applications markets, as well as forecasting and projecting the real market impact that such materials are anticipated to have in the future.

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.

Report Highlights

The global market for advanced materials and sensors increased from $5.7 billion in 2006 to an estimated $6.8 billion by the end of 2007. It should reach $9.4 billion by 2012, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%.
Advanced materials were valued at an estimated $1.7 billion in 2007 and are forecast to reach a value of $2.5 billion by 2012, a CAGR of 8.1%.
The steep rise in advanced materials is greatly influenced by the continual development cycle that impacts the market with every new advanced material that proceeds out of the lab and into the market as a product or component offering.
