Metamaterials: Technologies and Global Markets

Jan 2012| AVM067B| BCC Publishing

Report Highlights

BCC estimates the global market for metamaterials was worth $222.3 million in 2010 and $256.1 million in 2011.  BCC expects the market to grow to $758.7 million by 2016, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.3% since 2011, and to reach nearly $1.9 billion by 2021, a CAGR of 19.6% between 2016 and 2021.

Report Scope

This report addresses the emerging global market for metamaterials, including the following classes.  The common thread uniting this diverse group of materials is that they are all artificial materials with characteristics usually not found in nature, and they owe these characteristics to their structure rather than to their constituent element or elements. 

  • Artificial dielectrics
  • Negative refraction media
  • Active terahertz (THz) materials (i.e., metamaterials that respond magnetically to far-infrared or THz electromagnetic radiation)
  • Chiral materials
  • Photonic crystals
  • Superconducting metamaterials
  • Extreme-parameter metamaterials (i.e., metamaterials whose internal structure has been modified or engineered on a molecular or nanoscale level to impart extraordinary strength, flexibility, or other characteristics)
  • Acoustic metamaterials

The study format includes the following major elements:

  • Executive summary
  • Definitions
  • General properties of metamaterials
  • Historical milestones in the development of metamaterials
  • Emerging and developmental metamaterials technologies and applications that demonstrate the greatest commercial potential through 2021
  • Detailed market estimates and projections for each application and material during the period from 2011 to 2016
  • General assessment of expected market trends in the longer term (i.e., 2016–2021)
  • Patent analysis
