Summary

The nanotechnology field has continued to develop rapidly in the 6 years since these three reports were published. In light of these developments, BCC has decided to take a fresh look at the industry and reevaluate the existing and potential markets for nanoparticulate materials. The present report is an update of volume 1 of the 2001 report on electronic, magnetic, and optoelectronic applications of nanoparticles.

There are a number of other published reports and studies covering various aspects of the market for nanoparticles and nanostructured materials. However, the literature lacks a comprehensive, up-to-date, and realistic technical market assessment that focuses on nanoparticles in the applications covered by this report.

Since these applications are a major target market for many suppliers of nanoparticles and related technologies, BCC believes that this represents a significant gap in the recent literature. The primary objective of this report is to provide technological background, detailed industry information, and market data and forecasts through 2012, segmented by application and material type.

Scope of study

This report contains:

Descriptions of various types of nanoparticles consumed to produce chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) slurries, magnetic fluid seals, magnetic tape coatings, optical fibers, passive electronic devices, phosphors, and other products
The current market status for nanoparticles, trends and forecasts for growth over the next 5 years
A discussion of various political, legal, and regulatory trends affecting the industry
Analysis of nanomaterials-related patents issued during the past 2 years
Profiles of major and minor companies working with nanoparticles.

Report Highlights

The global market for nanoparticles used in electronic, magnetic, and optoelectronic applications increased from $499.7 million in 2006 to an estimated $521.9 million in 2007. It should reach $1.1 billion by 2012, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5%.
Electronic applications accounted for the bulk (79.2%) of the market in 2006 and are projected to maintain roughly the same market share in 2012.
Consumption of nanoparticles in magnetic applications is declining at an average rate of almost 19% per year and their market share is projected to drop from 17.7% in 2006 to 2.3% in 2012.
