Nanomaterials - Worldwide Market Challenges & Opportunities

Posted on February 8th, 2010

NanoMaterials are redefining trends in vital industries such as automobile, and paints & coatings among others. Nanomaterials of all types are poised to find growing interest from healthcare and electronics sectors. Oxides and metals are expected to capture a major share of global NanoMaterial revenues in the short-term. Emerging NanoMaterials such as single-wall nanotubes, and dendrimers are forecast to contribute significantly to market growth. In terms of end-use, healthcare and electronics are key segments. Commercial usage of NanoMaterials is limited to few applications such as sunscreen lotions, wafer polishing, and treatment of textiles.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "Nanomaterials: Worldwide Market Challenges & Opportunities" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
