Summary

Nanomaterials increasing market presence worldwide

While the US will remain the largest market for these materials, nanomaterials will also register remarkable growth in such segments as the large pharmaceuticals industry in Western Europe and the expanding Asian electronics industry. Large international chemical companies such as BASF and Bayer have dedicated substantial portions of their research and development budgets to nanotechnology, and have created business functions related to nanomaterials. In Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China, electronics firms have begun to develop components and other electronic equipment enhanced by such features as carbon nanotubebased backlighting units and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) for electronic displays.

Eventually, nanomaterials are likely to affect nearly every industry in every region in the world, including the least developed regions. In fact, there is considerable optimism that nanomaterials will be instrumental in addressing some of the developing world's most pressing concerns, such as improving access to safe water supplies in such areas as Africa and the Middle East, enhancing agricultural efficiency, improving the performance of drugs and creating inexpensive building materials that perform better than traditional materials.

Nanoscale materials have begun to find use in a number of applications, including sunscreens and other personal care products, textile treatments, polymer composites for motor vehicle parts, performance additives for paints and coatings, and chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) slurries and other electronics applications. Thanks to rapid advances and significant commitment to research and development by government agencies, universities and corporations, nanomaterials are expected to increase their market presence quickly.

Nanotechnology both improves staid materials, introduces new materials

For the next decade or two, the majority of nanomaterial consumption will be accounted for by established products such as silica, titanium dioxide, clays, metal powders, polymers and chemicals produced in nanoscale versions. In many cases, these nanoscale versions will have different performance characteristics resulting from their smaller size, such as a higher surface-to-mass ratio, allowing for greater reactivity or greater strength relative to weight.

At the other end of the spectrum are new products such as nanotubes, buckyballs, dendrimers and quantum dots, whose broad commercialization is only beginning. These new materials are expected to become vital components of such products as flat panel displays and other electronics, drug delivery systems and pharmaceutical active ingredients, conductive polymers, batteries and fuel cells, superstrong aerospace equipment and highly specialized coatings.

Widespread optimism tempered by controversy

Along with undeniably bright promise, nanomaterials also carry the baggage of controversy in some respects. Although there are nanomaterial products on store shelves and in suppliers' inventories, companies and investors have been somewhat wary of "the next big thing" after the "dot-com" bust of the early 2000s. Moreover, concerns about the safety of nanomaterials have led to intense reactions in some parts of the world, not unlike those that greeted food produced with genetically modified crops.
