2012 Advanced Materials Research Review

Dec 2012| AVM063D| BCC Publishing

Report Highlights

This Advanced Materials Research Review provides:

  • Information about emerging electronic materials technologies and applications that are most likely to achieve significant commercial sales in the next five to 10 years 
  • Analysis of the global graphene technologies market and applications with the greatest commercial potential in the 2012-to-2022 time frame, identifying market drivers and evaluating obstacles to their successful commercialization and projecting future sales.
  • An overview of specialty fiber types including a history of fiber development, technology trends, status of commercial development, barriers to entry and market leaders.

FOREWORD

Advanced materials are deeply integrated in and partially defined, by the applications they serve.  By necessity, their story changes over time and alongside their applications fluctuating fortunes.  But trends and common threads do emerge and can be useful to understand.

Rare earth element scarcity has somewhat receded as concrete steps have been taken to assure less dependence on any single country source—Mountain Pass, Calif., Weld and Dubbo in Australia, as examples.

The need to hit 2015 targets for Moore’s law has pushed opto-electronics into new areas.  In turn, the manufacturing know-how to economically manipulate these hybrid materials has galvanized new thinking and new methodologies, which will eventually spread to related applications.

This Advanced Material Research Review provides a sampling of the type of quantitative market information, analysis and guidance that has been aiding business decision making since BCC Research was founded in 1971.  It includes highlights of reports published in 2012 on the following advanced materials markets:

  • Graphene: Technologies, Applications and Markets.
  • New Electronic Materials and Device Technologies: Global Markets.
  • Specialty Fibers: Technologies and Global Markets.
  • Rare Earths: Worldwide Markets, Applications, Technologies.
  • Technical and Advanced Structural Ceramics.
  • Metamaterials: Technologies and Global Markets.
  • Superconductors: Technologies and Global Markets.

We hope you find this Research Review valuable, and we look forward to serving our customers’ advanced materials market research needs.

Report Highlights

  • BCC expects the first commercially significant sales of graphene products to develop before 2015 when the market is projected to be as large as $67 million.  The graphene market should start to take off after 2015, reaching nearly $675 million by 2020, reflecting a 58.7% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2015 and 2020.
  • BCC Research forecasts a promising near future for photonic crystals. The market was $2.1 billion in the year 2010, is expected to reach $5.2 billion in 2011, and $34.5 billion by 2016 with a CAGR of 46.1%.
  • The global market for nonwoven filter media is projected to experience a 7% CAGR over the next 5 years, increasing from a value of $2.5 billion in 2010 to $3.5 billion in 2015.

Report Highlights

  • Microspheres, spherical micro particles 1 micron to 1,000 microns in diameter, are innovative raw materials with superior functionality that help improve the quality of the final product at a reduced cost.  Microspheres are a growing element in many companies’ tool boxes. The global market for microspheres in 2010 is estimated to be $2 billion and growing at a 5–year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%, reaching global sales of $3.5 billion by 2015.
  • The global market for superconductivity applications is expected to reach nearly $2 billion in 2010 and nearly $3.4 billion in 2015, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3% over the next 5 years.  Superconducting magnets, particularly those used in science, research and technology development, and healthcare applications dominate the market.  However, superconducting electrical equipment is expected to capture nearly 25% of the market by 2015.
  • The total demand for the North American commercial roofing market is estimated to grow by a 12.7% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in total market value and by an 8.8% CAGR in total market volume. By 2014, it is estimated that the total market value will reach more than $5.8 billion, derived from sales of more than 74.3 million squares of product. As energy costs continue to rise, the ability of roofing materials to reduce utility bills will begin to play a much larger role in helping to calculate the actual cost-effectiveness of the roofing system. The rise in popularity of green building has produced a new demand in the market for a larger variety of recycled roofing materials.
