NanoMarkets Adds New Advanced Materials Reports to Firm’s Publishing Schedule

Glen Allen, VA: Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced the addition of two new reports to its publication schedule. The reports “Markets for Indium-Based Materials in Photovoltaics,” and “Emerging Markets for Non-ITO Transparent Conductive Oxides” continue the firm’s coverage of opportunities in advanced materials and emerging electronics and energy markets. Additional details about the reports are available at www.nanomarkets.net. The firm is listing the reports at pre-publication rates.

Markets for Indium-Based Materials in Photovoltaics (tinyurl.com/3rsgenk)

This report is part of NanoMarkets’ ongoing analysis of both the PV materials space and the indium industry. In particular we discuss what the evolution of new transparent conductors and the continued growth of the PV market will mean in terms of new opportunities for the indium industry.

This opportunity analysis is carried out in the context of the big changes that the indium industry is going through at the present time with the recent developments in Chinese indium policy. We also examine how new manufacturing technologies – especially solution processing -- will impact the kinds of indium-based materials that will be required by the PV industry. In addition, we examine the strategies that various firms in the PV supply chain are adopting with regard to indium-based materials. Forecasts of indium consumption by PV technology including; crystalline silicon, thin-film silicon, CdTe, CIGS , OPV and DSC and other PV markets for indium-based materials. Forecasts of indium consumption in PV by material type are also included. Alternative scenarios and confidence intervals are also considered.

This report examines the market potential for transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) other than ITO. Despite the newer advanced materials that are being proposed as substitutes for ITO, to date it is only TCOs that have successfully chased ITO out of a major end user market; thin-film PV, where fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) and aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) are already widely used. At the same time newer TCOs are beginning to appear that have the potential to create new kinds of thin-film transistors (TFTs) for display backplanes for the newer types of displays such as those using OLEDs or even quantum dots.

In the rush to cover the newer transparent conductive nanomaterials, NanoMarkets believes analyst firms have neglected the opportunities that are emerging from the TCO sector and this report is designed to fill that gap. In the report we examine the newer TCOs and where they fit into the applications space. But we also analyze the market strategies available in the TCO sector and the opportunities for market leadership; something that has been absent in the more traditional and commodity like parts of the TCO business. This report provides the eight-year forecasts by application and material type and also examines which firms will benefit from the development of an alternative TCOs.
