This is the executive summary from the report, ““Transparent Conductor Markets – 2012.”   NanoMarkets has covered TCs for seven years and this 230-page report provides the most thorough analysis and granular forecasts available.   In this report NanoMarkets provides in-depth analysis of the applications from which TC firms will be able to make money in the next few years including touch-screens, OLEDs, e-paper, thin-film and building-integrated PV (BIPV), organic/DSC PV, smart windows, etc. The report examines implications for TCs of the rise of flexible and transparent electronics and provides an in-depth discussion of how non-ITO TCs may be able to break into the LCD market. For each application the report contains separate eight-year forecasts in terms of value ($ millions) and volume (square meters). Each forecast is also broken out by material type.

This is the executive summary from the NanoMarkets report, “Markets for OTFTs, OFETs and Organic Memory – 2012.”   This report provides an analysis and forecast of the OTFT/OFET and ONVM market over the next eight years. Applications covered include smart packaging, brand protection, security, smartcards, distribution tagging and RFID, interactive media, disposable electronics, and (flexible) display backplanes. The report examines some of the latest market strategies, products and technical developments in materials, and it identifies how performance and manufacturing improvements are finally improving the prospects for printed/organic electronics.

As in all NanoMarkets reports, this report contains granular eight-year forecasts of OTFT/OFET and ONVM shipments in both unit and value terms, with breakouts by material type (small molecule vs. polymer) deposition technology (vapor vs. solution processing), and by panel type (rigid vs. flexible). Material categories discussed include organic and/or polymeric semiconductors, ferroelectric materials, dielectrics, and electrodes.
 

This is the executive sumamry from the report, “OLED Materials Markets -2012.”  The goal of this report is to analyze and forecast the prospects for OLED materials in the coming eight years.  Specifically, the objective is to examine the OLED materials sector and analyze what we see as the new directions that OLED materials will be taking in the coming years for both displays and lighting. It is also to identify and quantify the opportunities that are emerging in this space.

This report is the latest update from NanoMarkets on the OLED materials markets. In it, we quantify the opportunities that are emerging from the booming OLED display industry and in the nascent OLED lighting market, where the key determinants of success will be device efficiency, lifetime, and reduction in total cost of ownership.  Finally, the report contains detailed volume and revenue forecasts for materials used for OLEDs broken out by material type and functionality, as well as by application and by deposition method, wherever possible.
 

This is the executive summary from the NanoMarkets report, “Thin-Film and Printed Battery Markets – 2012.”   In this  report we address thin-film/printed battery applications including smartcards, sensors, RFID, smart packaging, disposable electronics/interactive media, cosmetic/pharmaceutical patches, medical implants, and semiconductor industry applications.

For each application the report contains separate forecasts in unit and value terms for thin-film and printed battery shipments.  It also includes forecasts by battery chemistry and of the products containing this specialized form of battery.  Finally, it has strategic profiles leading suppliers of thin-film and printed batteries including Blue Spark, Cymbet, Enfucell, Planar Energy Devices, Rocket Electric, Solicore and Ultralife.  Other organizations discussed include Micross Components, NEC, Oak Ridge National Lab, PARC, Pragmatic Printing, Printed Electronics, Rogers Corporation, RR Donnelley, Sealed Air, Sony, UT-Battelle and VTT.

This is the executive summary from the NanoMarkets report, “BIPV Roofing Markets-2012.”    The objective of this report is to pinpoint the opportunities that are likely to emerge in the BIPV roofing market in the next few years and show how these may be best developed given the changing market circumstances described above.  The potential for technological improvement, which is also described above, is also taken into consideration in this opportunity analysis. Another goal of this report is to examine current and future strategies in the emerging BIPV roofing market.  Because of the radically altered strategic situation for BIPV roofing that has emerged in the past few years, we think that entirely new strategies will be required for firms in this space.  Thus, we have made the required strategic changes for the future BIPV roofing sector a key theme of this report.
