Sterling,
VA: Sterling, Virginia: NanoMarkets, a leading advanced technology
analyst firm based here, has released a new market analysis
report that forecasts the market for nano-enabled electronics
will reach $10.8 billion ($US) in 2007 and grow to $82.5 billion
in 2011. The report, "Emerging Nanoelectronics Markets,
The Next Opportunity for the Semiconductor and Advanced Materials
Industries" . identifies present and future opportunities
for semiconductor, materials and manufacturing equipment companies
targeting the budding nanoelectronics industry.
NanoMarkets' new report
claims that electronics firms will reap enormous benefits
from nanoelectronics through the ability to further scale
CMOS with nano-enabled production processes; the improved
solutions to thermal management and high speed interconnection
issues, and the ability to churn out nano- engineered products
that meet specialized applications better than conventional
products.
Three key developments expected
by NanoMarkets include the following:
*The emergence of a large
market for nanomemory products. NanoMarkets expects the market
for such products to grow to $8.6 billion by 2007 and $65.7
billion by 2011, with the main driver being demand for high-performance,
non- volatile memories for mobile communications and computing.
IBM, STMicroelectronics and Freescale are all close to shipping
products in this space.
*Strong demand for nanosensors,
especially for medical, homeland security and aerospace applications.
NanoMarkets says the high level of sensitivity of nanosensors
and their ability to be used in arrays gives them a unique
advantage over other types of sensors for such applications.
The nanosensor market will generate $446 million by 2007 and
is expected to grow to $5.6 billion by 2011.
*Nano-engineered display technology
will transform the display industry. NanoMarkets, expects
roll-up displays using plastic electronics and other platforms
to be a strong opportunity and has attracted leading electronic
firms such as Xerox and Philips, as well as smaller firms
such as Cambridge Display Technologies. In addition, NanoMarkets
expects to see carbon nanotubes as a platform for HDTV monitors
at 42-inches and above. NanoMarkets projects the total nano-enabled
display market to grow to $1.6 billion in 2007 and reach $7.5
billion by 2011.
The new NanoMarkets report
reviews in detail the commercialization of nanoelectronics
and also provides a detailed 8-year forecast broken out by
application sector, type of device and materials platform.
The report also provides technology assessments and competitive
intelligence for business development executives, product
managers and marketers at semiconductor firms, sensor manufacturers,
display manufacturers and OEMs, as well as investors. Details
