Description
This 2003 report updates readers about the
exciting emerging nanotechnology and related microtechnology markets. This 18-chapter study highlights the opportunities and technologies for this important
technology race. Growing government spending around the world is making nanotechnology R&D the NEXT BIG THING!
The excitement about making ultra-small structures
as a result of nanoscience R&D opens a whole world of potential commercial applications. Experts at the US National Science Foundation have suggested that the
value of the worldwide commercial market for nanotechnology-based products might reach $1 trillion or more between 2010 and 2015. The big investors from major
world regions are betting that nanotechnology will become a big contributor to the world economy.
Therefore, if the US has 50% of the market in
2003, how big will the world nanotechnology market become? This report estimates that the US nanotechnology R&D market will reach nearly $3.3 billion in 2007.
The commercial markets could be a factor of 10X to 100X as big as the R&D market.
For example, drug delivery is an estimated $50
billion worldwide commercial market that also uses some emerging nanotechnologies. This report discusses how nanotechnology R&D is being used for new drug
delivery applications.
While nanoscale devices exist in R&D labs,
microscale devices and MEMS sensors or actuators are appearing on the market in some large industrial, automotive or consumer applications. This report
estimates that the worldwide commercial MEMS market will reach $31 billion.
This report is a “must-have” for anyone interested
in the business and investment opportunities in nanotechnology and MEMS. This technology report provides an overview of current nanotechnology and MEMS R&D.
This study discusses the commercialization drivers for nanotechnology, identifies thought leaders and reviews their key intellectual property. This report
assesses the market and outlook. It discusses the business activities of the key nanotechnology R&D firms and highlights the future directions of
nanotechnology.
Major corporations such as IBM, Intel, AMD, TSMC,
UMC, Toshiba, NEC, GE, Hitachi, Xerox, Philips, Siemens and hundreds of others are making key advances in the field. Toshiba and Intel have moved to 90
nanometer processes for commercial semiconductor production in 2003 to 2004.
Readers will learn about key business
opportunities and the lessons learned from work in ultra small technologies. This 118-page report uses more than 29 tables and figures to show the trends of
this emerging technology. This study profiles key nanotechnology R&D firms and how they do business. This report also looks at the invention of better
manipulation instrumentation and materials for use in nanoscience and technology research that has the effect of accelerating progress in other industries.
This study discusses expanding venture capital investment field, who is investing in nanotechnology and why.
