NanoMarkets today has announced the addition of a new report on building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) to its publication schedule titled “BIPV Roofing Markets – 2012” (Nano-543) 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 on building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) to its publication schedule titled “BIPV Roofing Markets – 2012” (Nano-543) 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 interested persons can visit the NanoMarkets website at http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/bipv_roofing_markets_2012.

The firm has also announced that it will be releasing a report on the BIP encapsulation market in May and has also released a related report on BIPV glass market in February of this year. Information about these reports is also available on the NanoMarkets website at http://www.nanomarkets.net.

About the Report:

BIPV offers both the PV industry and the building products industry a way out of their current economic plights. For PV firms, BIPV provides a product strategy geared to adding value to products. For the building products industry, BIPV represents a new line of products that will enable construction firms to add saleable features to buildings of all kinds.

While all this is true of all BIPV products, there is a natural migration path from today’s rooftop PV panels to BIPV roofing. With this in mind, NanoMarkets is publishing this report, which identifies and quantifies the market opportunities for BIPV roofing.

The report discusses a roadmap for BIPV roofing in which business revenues are generated initially by simple overlay products and then by conventional rigid and flexible BIPV roofing products and finally from fully integrated products. The report also shows how the performance of BIPV roofing is expected to evolve with a special focus on lifetime requirements and the materials that will be used both for substrates and absorber layers.

This report also includes extensive forecasts of the BIPV roofing market in terms of wattage, area covered and revenues generated. Breakouts are provided by type of building, type of BIPV roofing and key materials used. In addition, we project the nations and regions that will generate the most revenues for BIPV roofing and the breakouts of the BIPV roofing market by retrofit and new construction. As usual with NanoMarkets reports, this report also includes a detailed assessment of the strategies of the leading firms currently supplying BIPV roofing products.

NanoMarkets Releases New Report Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market – 2012

May 9, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

NanoMarkets today announced the release of its latest report on the organic photovoltaics market (OPV) titled, “Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market – 2012.”

Glen Allen, Virginia – May 9, 2012 — NanoMarkets today announced the release of its latest report on the organic photovoltaics market (OPV) titled, “Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market – 2012.” In the report the industry is facing a make or break scenario within the next two years if it hopes to capitalize on an opportunity that could be worth over $700 million ($US) by 2019.

Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/opportunities_in_the_organic_photovoltaics_market_2012

The firm recently released a report on the dye sensitized cell PV market in late April of this year. Details of that report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/dye_sensitized_cell_markets_2012

About the Report:

This report is designed to help both materials and panel/product manufacturers identify the available opportunities for generating revenue from OPV. It includes detailed eight-year forecasts for volumes, in power output and/or area terms and revenues, resulting from sales both of the materials used to manufacture OPV modules, as well as the revenues from sales of the OPV modules themselves. The OPV materials forecasts are broken out by material type – donors, acceptors, HTLs/EBLs, electrodes, substrates, and encapsulation technologies – and the OPV modules forecasts broken out by PV application – portable charging, embedded electronics, BIPV/BAPV, AIPV, and so on.

The report also contains a discussion of some of the key players in the DSC marketplace, including Konarka, Heliatek, Solarmer, New Energy Technologies, BASF, Agfa, IMEC, Solvay, Global Photonic Energy, Solarpress, Eight19, Mitsubishi, Polyera, Heraeus, Merck, and others.

From the Report:

The OPV market continues to struggle to get off the ground. The last year has produced a few bright spots – some new investments, some modest performance enhancements, additional demonstration and/or niche product launches, etc. – but the industry still needs a big breakthrough, or at least a clear path toward a larger-area or larger-scale application that can take OPV to the next level commercially.

The value propositions that have been claimed for OPV continue to get harder and harder to make: efficiencies are still very low in commercial products, costs are still very high, flexible encapsulation is still a problem, and a big market pull for portable, small-scale charging has not materialized. Meanwhile, development and commercialization of OPV’s closest “third generation” competitor, DSC PV, has outpaced that of OPV, especially in the larger-area BIPV and other grid-connected sectors. BIPV and related applications are important because they offer large enough volumes for OPV to break out commercially, recover the already-sunk investment costs, enable cost-reducing economies of scale, and establish long-term viability for the OPV industry.

NanoMarkets thinks that time for OPV may be running out. OPV firms must now move quickly or get left behind in these larger markets. We believe that the next two years will be the years in which OPV must finally prove itself in the PV market, both from a technical and cost perspective, or be relegated to permanent “specialty” status and an addressable market of no more than a few megawatts (MW) at best.

NanoMarkets Announces Release of OLED Lighting: Companies, Products and Strategies – 2012 Market Report

May 9, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

NanoMarkets has announced the release of its latest report on OLED lighting titled “OLED Lighting: Companies, Products and Strategies – 2012.”

Glen Allen, Virginia – May 9, 2012 — NanoMarkets has announced the release of its latest report on OLED lighting titled “OLED Lighting: Companies, Products and Strategies – 2012.” NanoMarkets projects that the OLED luminaire market will reach $6.4 billion ($US) by 2017 and within the report shows how far the OLED lighting industry has developed in the last two years. The report notes that OLED luminaires are available at affordable prices and a surprisingly large number of major electronics and lighting companies have developed plans to take OLED lighting into the mainstream general lighting market. Performance criteria for OLED lighting are close to acceptable for many real world applications.

This report analyzes in depth the product/market strategies of leaders of the OLED space including; Acuity Brands, AUO/Lextar, Blackbody, First-o-Lite, GE, Kaneka, Konica Minolta, LG, Lumiotec, Mitsubishi, Moser Baer, NEC, Novaled, Osram, Panasonic, Philips, Pioneer, Samsung, Sumitomo, Visionox and WAC Lighting. The report also provides insight into the strategies of smaller and emerging companies in this space.

Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/oled_lighting_companies_products_and_strategies_2012

The firm recently released its forecast of the OLED lighting global market. Details of that report are available here: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/nanomarkets_oled_lighting_market_forecast_q2_2012

Highlights from the Report:

One of the main selling features claimed for OLED lighting is “energy efficiency.” Two years ago, OLED lighting wasn’t very efficient, offering around 20 lm/W. Today, it is much closer to CFLs and LEDs as OLED lighting panels now routinely reach 45 lm/W to 65 lm/W. Prominent OLED lighting firms are confident that they will soon offer panels in the 100-150 lm/W range, which would then enable OLED lighting to rapidly penetrate general lighting markets. Firms that have announced superior efficiency performance in product roadmaps include Panasonic, LG and Philips.

OLED lights already compete with CFLs on lifetimes but remain challenged by LEDs. Still OLED lighting lifetimes continue to improve rapidly. Philips believes that OLED lighting panels will reach 40,000 hours by 2018. LG says it can reach this by 2015.

Firms in the OLED lighting space see office lighting as an early revenue generator. For this to happen, panels must be much larger than they are today. Major OLED lighting firms expect progress in this area soon. The often-conservative Philips plans 1 m x 1 m panels by 2018; Panasonic will have 600 x 600-mm panels by 2019. The Korean firm, Jusung Engineering has already built a 730 x 920-mm panel, although not as a commercial product.

There is a revival of interest in solution processing as a way of producing low-cost OLED lighting panels to profitably meet the price points of general lighting. Although GE’s efforts in this area are behind schedule, Sumitomo’s announcement that it is making a strong effort to print OLED lighting panels has given new life to printing OLED lighting panels. The Pioneer/Mitsubishi alliance is also developing a printing process for some layers of its panel.

NanoMarkets Announces Upcoming Reports on Organic (OPV) and Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) Markets

April 26, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

NanoMarkets has added two new reports to the firms schedule titled “Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market – 2012” and “BIPV Encapsulation Markets – 2012.”

Glen Allen, Virginia – April 26, 2012 — Industry Analyst firm NanoMarkets has added two new reports to the firms schedule titled “Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market – 2012” and “BIPV Encapsulation Markets – 2012.” The reports will be available in May of 2012 and continue the firm’s coverage of the increasingly challenging PV market. Details of the reports are available at http://www.nanomarkets.net.

The reports follow recent releases on dye sensitized cell (DSC) photovoltaics and BIPV glass markets.

Opportunities in the Organic Photovoltaics Market – 2012

The OPV market continues to struggle to get off the ground. The last year has produced a few bright spots – some new investments, some modest performance enhancements, additional demonstration and/or niche product launches, etc. – but the industry still needs a big breakthrough, or at least a clear path toward a large-area, large-scale application that can take OPV to the next level commercially.

Unfortunately, the value propositions that have been claimed for OPV in the past continue to get harder and harder to make: costs are still very high, flexible encapsulation is still a problem, and a big market pull for portable, small-scale charging has not materialized. Meanwhile, development and commercialization of DSC photovoltaics has outpaced that of OPV, and now it looks as though time for OPV may be running out.

In this report NanoMarkets looks at the changing prospects for commercialization of OPV in off-grid applications like solar chargers, as well as emerging – and larger-scale – opportunities for OPV in the BIPV market, particularly in BIPV glass and flexible BIPV applications. We also pay particular attention to the activities of the key OPV firms, and we examine the shifting market prospects brought on by technical achievements, commercialization efforts, demand patterns, and competition from other technologies. Based on these analyses, we have also updated our eight-year forecasts for both OPV materials and modules.

BIPV Encapsulation Markets – 2012

As the solar industry turns towards BIPV there will be a growing opportunity for the encapsulation business. Flexibility is often required in BIPV and this means that manufacturers of BIPV often have an immediate need for an effective flexible PV encapsulation system. In addition, as monolithic integration becomes more common, specialist encapsulation systems are required to protect the relatively delicate CIGS, OPV and DSC absorber materials that are commonly used in such products.

This report identifies and quantifies the emerging market for encapsulation systems and materials in the BIPV market. It investigates both how the leading suppliers of encapsulation products are viewing BIPV as a market for their products and the current and future demand for encapsulation from the BIPV industry itself. This NanoMarkets report includes a granular eight-year forecast of the BIPV encapsulation markets and assessments of the leading product/market strategies being adopted in this business.

NanoMarkets Says that Dye Sensitized Cell (DSC) PV Market Poised to Expand Greatly in the Next Several Years

April 24, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

NanoMarkets announces the release of its latest report on the DSC market titled, “Markets for Dye-Sensitized Cell Photovoltaics 2012.”

Glen Allen, Virginia – April 24, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets announces the release of its latest report on the DSC market titled, “Markets for Dye-Sensitized Cell Photovoltaics 2012.” NanoMarkets believes that even as the overall PV industry is reeling from rapidly declining panel prices, cutbacks in government support, and failing firms, DSC is a technology with solid growth prospects.

In the report NanoMarkets estimates that the total market value of DSC modules at the application level will grow from about $40 million in 2012 to over $500 million by 2015. Then, after building-integrated PV (BIPV) applications for DSC PV take off, the firm anticipates that the market value will exceed $4.4 billion by 2019. At the same time, the market for DSC materials is expected to grow from a value of just under $12 million in 2012 to over $1.2 billion by 2019.

Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/dye_sensitized_cell_markets_2012. Members of the press can request a full executive summary from the report.

NanoMarkets is also set to release an update to its coverage of the organic photovoltaic (OPV) market within the next two weeks of this release. Details of that report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/opportunities_in_the_organic_photovoltaics_market_2012

About the Report:

In the past two years, the dye sensitized cell (DSC) market has come of age and has moved out of its R&D phase. The performance of DSCs is now comparable with amorphous silicon PV, but with much more potential than a-Si for performance improvements. DSC’s also offers an ability to be deployed on flexible substrates and perform under non-peak insolation.

This report provides an in-depth market analysis of recent developments in DSCs, examining the meaning of the latest products, strategies and technical developments. We identify how performance improvements are likely to help grow addressable markets for DSC and where these new markets are to be found. Specifically, we examine the potential for DSC in the BIPV sector and how DSC is likely to do in a world in which solar energy is not the hot topic that it was a few years ago.

The report also appraises the commercial significance of the developments that have taken place in the DSC over the past year such as the attempts to reduce the cost of dyes and electrodes. And, as always with NanoMarkets reports, this report also contains granular forecasts of DSC panel and materials shipments in volume and value terms.

Lastly, the report contains a discussion of some of the key players in the DSC marketplace, including 3GSolar, G24 Innovations, NLAB Solar, Dyesol, Oxford Photovoltaics, Solaronix, Solarprint, BASF, Merck, Umicore, Pilkington/NSG, Tata Steel, Everlight Chemical, Timo Technology, EPFL, Fujikura, and Peccell.

NanoMarkets Announces Release of New Report on Metal Oxide Thin Film Transistors (TFTs)

April 17, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

NanoMarkets announces the release of its new report on emerging opportunities for metal oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs).

Glen Allen, Virginia – April 17, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets announces the release of its new report on emerging opportunities for metal oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs). In the new report, which is titled, “Metal Oxide Thin-Film Transistor Markets,” NanoMarkets estimates that the total market for display backplanes based on oxide TFTs will reach $2.1 billion by 2017. Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/metal_oxide_thin_film_transistor_markets

About the Report:

This report shows how oxide TFTs will become an important enabling technology for the display industry providing an improved path to lower power consumption, higher refresh rates and other capabilities that are increasingly valued by display makers. NanoMarkets projects that oxide TFT backplanes will offer these capabilities at a reasonable cost and with scalable manufacturing processes. Oxide TFT backplanes are seen by NanoMarkets as an improvement over the common amorphous silicon based backplanes which are reaching their performance limits and also over the newer LTPS approach which is expensive and limited in scalability.

This report includes detailed eight-year forecasts of oxide TFT backplanes in both value and volume terms, with breakouts by type of display (LCD and AMOLED) and display application (smartphones, televisions, tablets and PCs). It also contains analysis of the leading firms active in the oxide TFT space and their product/market strategies, including AUO, CBRITE, Hewlett Packard, Jusung Engineering, JX Nippon Mining & Metals, LG, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, Toppan Printing, Toshiba and Ulvac Materials.

From the Report:

In the coming battle between LCD and AMOLED technologies for dominance of the high-performance display market, NanoMarkets notes that firms supplying oxide TFT-based backplanes will assume the role of “arms dealers” supplying both camps.

LCD makers will ultimately turn to oxide TFTs because oxide TFTs can offer better performance than LTPS at a much lower cost which will help LCD address the onslaught of AMOLEDs. And although LCD firms are notoriously reluctant to adopt new materials, NanoMarkets says that even quite small penetration by oxide TFTs in this sector will generate large revenues. In the report NanoMarkets expects revenues from oxide TFTs sold into the LCD sector to reach $ 1.9 billion by 2017.

Meanwhile, NanoMarkets projects that oxide TFTs will become a major enabling technology for AMOLED displays, especially large AMOLED TVs. While the commercialization of such displays has been frustrated by the lack of an effective backplane technology, oxide TFTs bring small transistor size to the table thus allowing more space for emission from the OLED; low cost; and good uniformity. Given the impressive features of oxide TFTs, oxide TFTs will penetrate the AMOLED market quite quickly.

Antistatic Materials and Products in Electronics To Reach $3.4 billion ($US) in 2019

March 28, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

NanoMarkets announces the release of its latest report on ESD protection materials for the photovoltaics industry titled, “Markets for ESD and Antistatic Protection Materials and Products in Electronics 2012.”

Glen Allen, Virginia – March 28, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets announces the release of its latest report on ESD protection materials for the photovoltaics industry titled, “Markets for ESD and Antistatic Protection Materials and Products in Electronics 2012.” In the report NanoMarkets estimates that the total market for ESD protection products in electronics applications will grow at a CAGR of about 13% from a value of about $1.4 billion in 2012 to about $3.4 million in 2019.

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

About the Report:

This report is designed to help manufacturers of ESD protection materials identify both the “where” and “how much” for available opportunities in the electronics and semiconductor manufacturing sectors. Thus, this latest NanoMarkets report includes detailed eight-year forecasts of both ESD basic materials – conventional carbon, metals, metal compounds, carbon nanomaterials, conductive polymers, and other organics – and ESD products by application and material source. It also contains a discussion of some of the key suppliers and their product/market strategies, including Agfa, Heraeus, Hyperion Catalysis, 3M, RTP, Nanocyl, Bayer MaterialScience, SciCron, and many others.

From the Report:

NanoMarkets continues to see important new opportunities emerging in 2012-2013 for suppliers of ESD and antistatic protection materials including the growth of pervasive computing and electronics in everyday life, which steadily increases the addressable market for ESD products, and shrinking circuitry, which drives the need for higher performance ESD materials. In addition, a shift is occurring in the display market that pits LCD technology against newer technologies like OLEDs, which may have very different needs for ESD protection.

These emerging patterns of demand for ESD products are occurring at a time when there are also new developments in materials, many of are related to the rise of nanomaterials.

NanoMarkets projects that nanometals, graphene and carbon nanotubes will begin to account for a sizeable part of the ESD materials market in the not-too-distant future. ESD products based on carbon nanomaterials alone are expected to exceed $100 million in value by 2015.

Meanwhile, inherently conductive polymers will continue to make inroads into the larger ESD market, displacing currently used inexpensive – and often impermanent – materials; the value of ESD products based on ICPs is expected to exceed $100 million in 2017, driven largely by growth in low-cost/high-performance transparent ESD coatings.

NanoMarkets Releases New White Paper on Smart Lighting Markets

March 20, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

NanoMarkets today announced that it has published a new white paper that examines the current smart lighting systems market.

Glen Allen, Virginia – March 20, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced that it has published a new white paper that examines the current smart lighting systems market. In a recent NanoMarkets report titled, “Smart Lighting 2012” we have identified this space as potentially reaching $4.5 billion in revenues by 2016 driven by the quest to improve energy efficiency within buildings and homes and meet requirements brought about by government mandates.

However, NanoMarkets believes while the addressable market is substantial, there are no clear leaders in the smart lighting space and that furthermore, the product and market strategies currently being pursued by the industry are insufficient to capitalize on what is possible.

Persons interested in obtaining the paper may download it from the firm’s website at: http://www.nanomarkets.net/Downloads/SmartLighting.pdf

About the Report:

The NanoMarkets report, “Smart Lighting 2012” provides an analysis of the worldwide smart lighting market and builds on NanoMarkets’ extensive six-year experience of analyzing the solid-state lighting industry. The report shows how new value is being created in the lighting market by adding enhanced electronics and intelligent luminaires and how such product strategies will be able to build on the massive trend towards introducing CFLs, LEDs, OLEDs and other forms of energy efficient lighting.

But while energy efficiency is the major current driver for smart lighting, this report also discusses how NanoMarkets foresees the smart lighting market transcending energy efficiency and generating new revenues from improved aesthetics, and more comfortable and healthy lighting. The report focuses, in particular, on how also these opportunities will emerge within the OLED and LED lighting paradigms. But it also identifies the opportunities that smart lighting will create as it adopts more effective networking strategies and becomes part of a future “Internet of things” and Smart Grid.

Also included in this new report is an analysis of the smart lighting strategies of the firms that NanoMarkets expects to see as major players in the smart lighting space. This includes the major lighting and building automation firms, as well as the slew of new lighting control start-ups that have emerged in the past few years.

In addition, this report provides an insider’s view on rapidly developing opportunities throughout the entire smart lighting supply chain including developments in the luminaire sector all the way down to the components level. For example, the report includes detailed coverage of where chip makers and sensor manufacturers will be able to derive the most benefit from the smart lighting “revolution”.

Also included in the report is a discussion of the likely evolution of smart lighting standards and their importance to smart lighting market development. In addition, there is an eight-year market forecast with breakouts by type of product and end user market segment.
