Metamaterials: Technologies And Global Markets
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Metamaterials offer seemingly endless possibilities. However, intuition alone tells us that not all of these possibilities are likely to become reality. The goal of this report is to survey emerging metamaterials technologies and applications, identify those that are most likely to achieve significant commercial sales in the next 5 to 10 years, and develop quantitative estimates of potential sales.
The report’s approach is similar to that of BCC’s other recent report Global Medical Markets for Nanoscale Materials and Devices (HLC058A). Both reports generally avoid futuristic speculation about technology applications that might be possible 10 years or more into the future, focusing instead on applications that are expected make it to market by 2018.
The report’s specific objectives support this broad goal. These objectives include identifying the metamaterials with the greatest commercial potential in the 2008 to 2018 time frame, identifying market drivers and evaluating obstacles to their successful commercialization, and projecting their future sales.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
This report is intended especially for marketing executives, entrepreneurs, investors, venture capitalists, and other readers with a need to know where the emerging metamaterials market is headed over the next 5 to 10 years. Although the report is organized around specific technologies, it is largely non-technical in nature and coverage. That is, it is concerned less with theory and jargon than with what works, how much of the latter the market is likely to purchase, and at what price.
The report has not been written specifically for scientists and technologists. However, the report’s findings concerning the market for their work, including the availability of government and corporate research funding for different technologies and applications should interest them as well.
SCOPE AND FORMAT
The report addresses the emerging global market for metamaterials, including the classes of materials listed below. The common thread uniting this diverse group of materials is that all of them are artificial materials with characteristics usually not found in nature, and owe these characteristics to their structure rather than their constituent element or elements.
RELATED REPORTS
This report is primarily a study of the U.S. market, but due to the international presence of many industry participants, global activities are included where appropriate. Values are given in U.S. dollars. Forecasts are in constant U.S. dollars and growth rates are compounded. Five-year projections ...

The major objective of this report is to analyze inherently conductive polymers (ICPs) and, to a lesser extent, traditional conductively filled thermoplastics, in terms of their competitive scenario in specific applications. Another goal is to develop a reasonable scenario for ICP markets outside of ...

Among the many subsets of nanomaterials, quantum dots (QDs) are like no other. At dimensions typically below 10 nanometers, nanocrystalline (nc) semiconductors (SC), metals, and magnetic materials can all exhibit extraordinary quantum confinement phenomenon. Basically, at these dimensions, their phy ...
