This is the executive summary from the NanoMarkets report, “Solar Storage – 2013” (Nano-601)

This report provides a detailed analysis and forecast of the markets for energy storage for the solar industry with coverage of both the photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) sectors.  Opportunities are identified for the full range of storage options including batteries, supercapacitors and mechanical systems. This report also contains discussions of how the leading firms in the energy storage space are adapting their products and product strategies for solar markets.  In addition, many examples are also given of solar installations that are using storage in ways that suggest new directions for revenue generation in this sector.

Finally, this report assesses all the currently available storage technologies for the storage of solar generated power and determines how they can fit into solar industry landscape, both now and in the future.  The report also quantifies all the major markets for solar-related energy storage in an eight-year market forecast in both volume and value terms.  This market forecast is broken out both by technology and the region into which the solar storage products are expected to be sold.

This is the executive summary from NanoMarkets' latest report on the commercial development of OLED encapsulation.  The report analyzes the latest technical and market developments in the both OLED encapsulation materials and deposition strategies and it also contains granular eight-year forecasts of the revenues that we expect to be generated from this business, along with quantities of materials  shipped.  These in-depth forecasts are broken out by both product type and application within the OLED space.

This is the executive summary from the NanoMarkets report, Advanced Glazing Systems Markets Markets-2012.  In an era of rising real energy prices and uncertainties about future energy supply NanoMarkets believes that a fast growing market for advanced glazing systems can be expected and that this will create profitable business opportunities for a wide variety of companies.  In this new report, NanoMarkets has identified where these opportunities can be found and how much they will be worth.  The report covers the full range of high-performance windows systems that provide thermal, visual and IR management using the latest materials.

This is the exuctive summary from the NanoMarkets report, “Markets for Optically Functional Films and Coatings in Displays”   The purpose of this report is to provide a market analysis of the opportunities and challenges for emerging optically functional films used in displays over the next eight years. In this report, we examine the latest products, strategies, and technical developments of the industry.  For example, we identify where new optical film products are likely to help grow addressable markets for different types of displays versus market-dominant LCDs, and where new films for LCDs may help these struggling displays maintain profitability.

Note that hard coatings and other coatings designed to improve the durability of the displays are also commonly found on the front surface of most displays, but these coatings are not optically functional and so they are excluded from the analysis in this report. (Of course, they must be as optically transparent as possible, but they do not perform a particular optical function.)  In addition, this report also includes NanoMarkets’ assessments of the strategies of leading or influential firms active in the optically functional coating/film space.  And, as always with NanoMarkets reports, this report contains granular, eight-year forecasts of optical films and coatings in volume (by area coated) and value terms, broken out by application.

This is the executive summary from the NanoMarkets report, “BIPV Wall Markets-2012”.  In this report, NanoMarkets identifies the opportunities from  the fastest growing segment of BIPV; BIPV walling products.  For each product type this report contains separate eight-year forecasts with breakouts by value ($ millions), volume (MW) and PV technology.  Other forecasts show which types of buildings and which geographical regions will generate revenues and how this will change over time.
