The Nanotech Industry Is Moving From Research to Production With Over 500 Consumer Nano Products Already Available
DUBLIN, Ireland - February 14, 2008 - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c82806) has announced the addition of “NanoSEE 2008” to their offering.

Over the past two years, scale up of
multi-wall carbon nanotube production has led to a dramatic price
decrease (Arkema, Bayer Material Sciences, Showa Denko …), down to
$150/kg for semi-industrial applications. The run for industrial CNT
production plants has started in order to achieve a sustainable
business with the commercialization of these high-tech materials
with a mid-term price target of $45/kg.
The prices for nanoclays have also
dropped slightly, but the question of price versus performance ratio
is not yet solved. At this point, some commercial nanoclay
applications have been abandoned for cost reasons. Silver-based nano-additives
have made a successful market entry (50% of nanoproducts) and are
now widespread in white goods, clothing and food applications.
Further market penetration is forecast in the coming years, though
the lack of standardization, regulation and the health & safety
aspects might impact this evolution.
The nanotech industry is moving from
research to production with over 500 consumer nano-products already
available. Though nanotechnology has long been seen as tomorrow’s
technology, developers of nanoproducts are focused on today’s market
opportunities. Some previous limitations have been addressed thanks
to improvements in the dispersion of nanoparticles and the decrease
in the production cost of nanotubes
This report is designed to understand
the market for nanomaterials, the players including the
organizations, as well as the accessibility of the market. It
highlights the technical functions made possible by nanomaterials to
create our daily nanoproducts.
