Terahertz Radiation Systems: Technologies and Global MarketsNEW YORK, July 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The overall goals of this report include assessing the technological process that has been made toward bridging the terahertz gap and assessing the commercial potential of THz radiation devices over the next five to 10 years. INTENDED AUDIENCE This report is intended especially for marketing executives, entrepreneurs, investors, venture capitalists and other readers with a need to know where the emerging market for THz radiation devices is headed over the next 10 years. Although the report is organized around specific technologies, it is largely nontechnical in nature and coverage. That is, it is concerned less with theory and jargon than with what works, how much of the latter the market is likely to purchase and at what price. The report has not been written specifically for scientists and technologists. However, the report's findings concerning the market for their work, including the availability of government and corporate research funding for different technologies and applications, should interest them as well. SCOPE AND FORMAT The report addresses the emerging global market for THz radiation devices, including the classes of devices listed below. - Imaging devices. - Spectroscopes. - Other sensors. - Communications devices. - Computing devices. The study format includes the following major elements: - Executive summary. - Definitions. - General properties of THz radiation. - Historical milestones in the development of THz radiation devices. - Emerging and developmental THz radiation technologies and applications that have the greatest commercial potential through 2024. - Detailed market estimates and projections for each the period 2014 to 2019 - General assessment of expected market trends in the longer term (2019 to 2024). - Industry structure. - Patent analysis. INFORMATION SOURCES AND METHODOLOGY Projecting the market for emerging technologies, whose commercial potential has not yet been proven, is a challenging task. This is nowhere truer than the THz radiation field, which may help to explain why many analysts focus on supply-side technology assessments. However, BCC Research's objective in this report is to provide not just a technology assessment but also an initial commercial assessment of the potential commercial market for THz devices. To accomplish this objective, BCC Research used a multiphase approach to identify the technologies with the greatest commercial potential and quantify the related markets. In the first phase of the analysis, BCC Research identified a long list of THz technologies and applications, including those that are still under development. In the second phase, BCC Research eliminated those applications that appear to have little likelihood of making it into commercial use in the next five to 10 years, which was accomplished through a literature review and interviews with industry sources. The result of phase two was a short list of THz technologies with the greatest commercial potential over the time period covered by this report. The third phase focused on quantifying the potential market for each short-listed THz technology, by application, and identifying the main prerequisites for commercial success. Phase three actually had two phases: 1) development of near- to midterm (2014 to 2019) projections, and 2) development of longer-term (2019 to 2024) projections. The development of such long-term projections is a departure from the usual BCC Research report format, necessitated by the long time frame for commercialization of many of the technologies analyzed in this report. Obviously, the projections for the out-years beyond 2019 are more tentative than the projections for 2014 to 2019. The specific assumptions and approach BCC Research used to develop the projections (both near-/midterm and long-term) for each THz technology and application are documented in detail under the various segments addressed. This way, readers can see how the market estimates were developed and, if they so desire, test the impact on the final numbers of changing the underlying assumptions. One of the approaches used by BCC Research deserves special mention here. Particularly in the case of THz applications that are still under development, BCC Research used the sales performance of non-THz applications that share some of the same functions or other characteristics with the respective THz applications as a benchmark for assessing the latter's sales potential.
