August 17, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

NanoMarkets today announced that it will publish a new report in September of this year titled, “New Opportunities for Optical Films in the Display Industry.”

Glen Allen, Virginia – August 17, 2012 — Industry Analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced that it will publish a new report in September of this year titled, “New Opportunities for Optical Films in the Display Industry.” This new report from NanoMarkets focuses on how opportunities for optically functional films will emerge within the changing display sector. The report shows how value is being created in the optical films market by enhancing the performance of displays, and how manufacturers of these products may be able to capitalize of the trend toward increasing adoption of OLEDs and e-paper displays in mainstream displays.

The report also provides an analysis of the optical coatings/films strategies of the firms that NanoMarkets expects to see as major players in the display sector. The analysis includes the major optical films firms like 3M, as well as smaller, specialty firms; we also assess the importance of nanomaterials for next generation optical films. As with all NanoMarkets reports, included are an eight-year market forecasts with breakouts by type of optical film and by market segment. Optical film designs covered are antiglare/antireflection films, polarizers, privacy films, diffuser films, reflectors, prismatic films, and multi-functional films.

Addition details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/new_opportunities_for_optical_films_in_the_display_industry

More About the Report:

Today, the LCD market heavily dominates the optical coatings needs of the display industry. LCDs and their backlight units use diffuser films, polarizers and mirrored polarizers, contrast enhancement and prismatic films, as well as antireflection, antiglare, and privacy films. But LCD manufacturers are struggling to maintain profitability, and most are now looking for the “next big thing” in displays. There is thus a shift occurring in the display industry that will change the opportunities for optically functional films. This shift involves the increasing adoption of OLEDs for mobile computing applications, and perhaps even OLED TVs in the near-term; e-paper has also grown in importance over the last few years, as has the incorporation of touch technology to many displays.

At first glance, these changes could create a problem for optically functional display films that have long relied on a well-established LCD sector for sales. Both OLEDs and e-paper displays are backlight-free, and they thus require fewer optical film products than conventional LCDs. However, their emergence may also create opportunities for new kinds of optical films, and may create openings for new firms to establish a market presence and gain market share versus the competition. Similarly, touch panels are using new kinds of customized optically functional films.

NanoMarkets Announces Upcoming Report on BIPV Wall and Siding Markets Coming in September of 2012

August 17, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

NanoMarkets today announced that it will publish a new report in September of this year titled, “BIPV Wall Markets – 2012.”

Glen Allen, Virginia – August 17, 2012 — Industry Analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced that it will publish a new report in September of this year titled, “BIPV Wall Markets – 2012.” In this report, NanoMarkets identifies the business opportunities that will be generated over the coming decade from embedding photovoltaic capabilities into walling products of various kinds. The report follows previous releases from NanoMarkets related to building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) glass, roofing and substrates and encapsulation.

Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/bipv_wall_markets_2012

More about the report:

This report forecasts the new revenues that will be generated from wall-attached PV, roofing BIPV products used on walls, dedicated BIPV siding products and BIPV curtain walls. It also examines the commercial potential of more futuristic products such as solar paints and panels that combine PV and lighting.

NanoMarkets believes that the BIPV walling market is being generated by the growth in the number of buildings where energy requirements cannot be met by rooftop solar panels alone. This is often the case with multistory buildings that have relatively small roof spaces that are clogged up with HVAC and water system equipment. In addition, zero-energy buildings have energy generation needs that rooftop panels are not sufficient to meet.

This report explains where the initial revenues for BIPV walling will be generated and how the supply chains will evolve to meet the needs of this new sector. In addition, the report discusses which types of PV technology are best suited for walling products and how the panel makers can best take advantage of the BIPV walling market. The report also includes granular eight-year forecasts of the BIPV wall market with breakouts by volume (MW) and value ($ millions), as well analysis of the strategies of major firms active in this market.

Glen Allen, Virginia – August 3, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets announces the release of its latest report on the emerging organic/printed logic and memory market, titled “Markets for OTFTs, OFETs and Organic Memory – 2012.” The report analyzes the opportunities for materials, component, and device makers in the OTFT/OFET and organic nonvolatile memory (ONVM) value chain over the next eight years. NanoMarkets estimates that the total market value of OTFT/OFET and ONVM components will grow to nearly $1B (US) in revenues by 2018. Over the same time period, the value of the market for printed electronics devices enabled by these OTFT/OFET and ONVM components will reach $4.6B.

Additional details of the report are available at: http://www.nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/otfts_ofets_and_organic_memory_markets_2012

About the Report:

This latest NanoMarkets 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.

Key players mentioned in the report include Acreo, BASF, Bemis, Fujifilm Dimatix, Hewlett Packard, Heraeus, Holst Centre, InkTec, JAPERA, LG, Merck/EMD, OE-A, Optomec, PARC, PEA, Polyera, PolyIC, Qolpac, Samsung, Solvay, Sony, Thin Film Electronics, Toppan Printing, and others.

From the Report:

A decade ago, OTFTs/OFETs and ONVMs were once darlings of the advanced materials sector, but the early hype largely dissipated as their huge potential was in stark contrast to their disappointing reality. Materials performance was low and manufacturing proved more difficult, and more costly, than originally expected. But today there are signs that things may be turning around. There is renewed interest and commercialization activity in this sector, and NanoMarkets believes that the industry is poised to take off in the 2014-2015 timeframe, built upon better materials and processes, meaningful collaboration between players, and the launch of new products that will add credibility to the whole sector.

But NanoMarkets cautions that commercial success will only happen if suppliers can help to close the remaining technology – and cost – gaps that could hold back the realization of low-cost/high volume fabrication. Players in this industry can thus carve out competitive advantages in the following areas: improved material performance, especially with respect to mobility, because while improvements have been made, still more are needed; development of reliable and easy-to-use inks and coatings, as well as the optimization of suitable printing or solution patterning methods for them; and establishment of a well-integrated manufacturing and supply chain that brings all of the elements together to provide sellable products to end-users.

NanoMarkets today announced that it has added a new report to its schedule titled, “Transparent Conductor Markets-2012” that is scheduled to be released in early August of 2012.

Glen Allen, Virginia – July 18, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced that it has added a new report to its schedule titled, “Transparent Conductor Markets-2012” that is scheduled to be released in early August of 2012. In this report NanoMarkets continues its industry leading coverage of transparent conductors (TC) that dates back to 2006. The firm is the recognized authority on TCs and has issued over a dozen different market assessments of the key technology and market trends that have and will continue to drive this market.

Details about the report can be found at http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/transparent_conductor_markets_2012. The firm is offering pre-publication pricing for the report through July 31. Contact the firm at sales@nanomarkets.net for details.

About the Report:

This report provides the necessary strategic insight into how TC firms can best generate new revenues from the rapidly changing business environments within the display, lighting and solar panel sectors. New technologies are emerging such as OLED displays and lighting, flexible displays and transparent electronics in the forms of displays, smart windows and BIPV glass that will provide significant opportunities for ITO alternatives.

Companies addressed by the report include Cambrios, Cima NanoTech, Dow Chemical, Evonik, Ferro, Heraeus, Indium Corporation, Kodak, Mitsui Mining and Smelting, Nippon Mining & Metals, Nitto Denko, Oike, PolyIC, Saint-Gobain, Samsung Corning, Sumitomo, Toray, Tosoh, Ulvac Materials, and others.

In addition, this report examines opportunities for TCs in more established parts of the display sector. It takes an in-depth look at the use of touch-screen technology which is highly suitable for novel TCs. However, there are so many TC firms crowding into this sector that a legitimate question is whether this relatively small market is about to become saturated.

The comprehensive coverage of this report extends beyond the display sector and includes pinpointing the best prospects for TCs in the solar industry. Recently, PV opportunities have been constrained by the influx of low-cost c-Si panels from China with limited need for TCs. In this report, NanoMarkets discusses how the logic of Chinese industrial policy now suggests a possible revival of the thin-film PV market that will create new opportunities for TCs.

Chinese industrial policy is also further examined for what it will mean for ITO pricing and availability. The impact of indium prices on the TC market has been a controversial subject and this report cuts to the chase and shows how the ITO supply chain is really likely to evolve going forward in context of what is planned for the Chinese display, PV and indium industries.

Finally, this report analyzes important developments on the TC materials front and it takes a peek at what the next generation of transparent conductors will look like and how these materials will extend addressable markets. This study also contains detailed eight-year forecasts in volume (square meters) and value terms. For each of the applications covered there are breakouts of demand for ITO, other TCOs, ITO/TCO inks, carbon nanotube films, silver-based transparent conductors, other nanometallic transparent conductors and conductive polymers. And there is also a forecast of ITO products by type (sputtering targets, films, coated glass, etc.).

May 31, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

NanoMarkets announces the release of a new report, titled “Market Opportunities for LED Phosphors in Lighting Applications 2012,” that analyzes the moneymaking opportunities for LED phosphor suppliers in the lighting sector over the next eight years.

Glen Allen, Virginia – May 31, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets announces the release of a new report, titled “Market Opportunities for LED Phosphors in Lighting Applications 2012,” that analyzes the moneymaking opportunities for LED phosphor suppliers in the lighting sector over the next eight years. NanoMarkets estimates that the total market value of LED phosphors used in lighting applications will grow from about $525 million in 2012 to a value of over $730 million by 2015 and to over $1.6 billion by the end of the forecast period in 2019. This growth represents a CAGR of over 17 percent over the eight-year forecast period.

Additional details about the report are available at: http://www.nanomarkets.net

About the Report:

This new NanoMarkets report provides an in-depth analysis and forecast of the LED phosphor market in the next eight years as it relates to the fabrication of white LEDs for lighting applications. It builds off the extensive experience that NanoMarkets has in the area of solid-state lighting and related materials. The report examines some of the latest market strategies, products and technical developments in the area of LED phosphors, and it identifies how performance improvements are growing some addressable markets for phosphors, especially in the general illumination segment(s). The report also includes NanoMarkets’ assessments of the strategies of several of the leading firms active in the LED phosphors space, and, as always with NanoMarkets reports, this report contains granular eight-year forecasts of the inorganic LED phosphors shipments in both volume and value terms, with breakouts by type of phosphor and by phosphor deposition technology.

Key players mentioned in the report include Seoul Semiconductor, Intematix, Mitsubishi, Nichia, Toyoda Gosei, Dow, Osram, GE, Philips, and others.

From the Report:

A major shift toward more efficient, long-lifetime LED lighting is underway and is expected to continue over next decade, with many governments around the world using the regulatory process to mandate higher efficiency lighting products. During this period, LED phosphor suppliers will enjoy an expanding market for their products, especially in the general illumination sectors. At the same time, the market value for LED phosphors in display backlighting is expected to decline, as growth in the underlying display markets are not expected to keep up with advancements that are leading to fewer LEDs-per-device and, hence, reduced consumption of phosphor materials.

NanoMarkets believes that the moneymaking opportunities for LED phosphor suppliers are centered on the following interrelated key characteristics. First, LED phosphors that provide better luminous efficacy, such as through higher internal quantum efficiency or reduced down-conversion loss, will help LED lighting better compete with fluorescent lighting for market share. Second, phosphors that provide better color rendering are also still in demand, especially in the general illumination and display backlighting markets, where LEDs still perform poorly in comparison to the traditional incandescent lighting. Finally, phosphors and phosphor blends that enable LED lighting component manufacturers to better provide application-specific color temperatures are also needed.

NanoMarkets Announces Upcoming Report LED Phosphor Markets – 2012 Set for May 2012 Release

May 15, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

NanoMarkets today has announced the addition of a new report to its publication schedule titled “LED Phosphor Markets – 2012” (Nano-541) that will be released the week of May 28th.

Glen Allen, Virginia – May 15, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today has announced the addition of a new report to its publication schedule titled “LED Phosphor Markets – 2012” (Nano-541) that will be released the week of May 28th. The report is available at pre-publication rates through May 29th. For additional information about the report people can visit the NanoMarkets website: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/led_phosphor_markets_2012

About the Report:

In some countries, LEDs are expected to be the dominant general lighting technology by the end of the decade. The primary driver for this transition is the high efficiency and long lifetimes of LED lighting and a major reason that many governments around the world are promoting their use through the regulatory process.

Nevertheless, this shift in technology use has not been entirely welcomed by consumers, primarily because LEDs often render colors poorly compared with the traditional incandescent bulb. Another concern is the warmth or coolness of LED light, which is not always judged attractive by consumers. Also, variations in LED color temperature vary with viewing angle, sometimes making the experience of being in an LED – lighted room less than satisfactory.

Most LED manufacturers now see these issues as being critical to the long-term success of LED lighting creating a major opportunity for firms making the LED lighting phosphors that control the color rendering and color temperatures of the LEDs. Makers of phosphor materials and related products can expect the same high growth that the LED lighting market is enjoying. In addition, NanoMarkets believes that the LED lighting market is still open to new kinds of proprietary phosphor solutions, with the potential for phosphor firms to build their brands and create protectable IP.

This new NanoMarkets report provides an in-depth analysis and forecast of the LED phosphor market in the next eight years. It builds off the extensive experience that NanoMarkets has in the area of solid-state lighting and related materials.

This report examines the latest market strategies, products and technical developments in the area of LED phosphors. We identify how performance improvements are likely to help grow addressable markets for phosphors, with an especial focus on general illumination, outdoor/street lighting and backlighting and where the opportunities are to be found to make money in the LED phosphor market.

The report also includes NanoMarkets’ assessments of the strategies of leading firms active in the LED phosphors space. And, as always with NanoMarkets reports, this report contains granular eight-year forecasts of the inorganic LED phosphors shipments in volume and value terms, with breakouts by type of phosphor. This report is required reading, not just for strategy planners at phosphor firms, but for those throughout the solid-state lighting industry.
