Global Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials in Energy Market 2016 - Competitive Landscape, Commercial prospects, Applications, Commercialization Timelines and Market Challenges - Research and Markets


DUBLIN, September 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Global Market for Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials in Energy" report to their offering.

Developing clean and renewable energy is crucial for meeting increasingly world energy needs (it is estimated that the world will need to double its energy supply by 2050) that have arisen from population increases and economic expansion in countries such as China and Brazil. The need to reduce dependence on fossil-fuels, global warming and pollution is also of vital importance. As a result, there is a drive for new technologies for energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors) and energy conversion (solar cells and fuel cells).

What Does The Report Include?

  • Market drivers and trends for the use of nanotechnology and nanomaterials in the energy market
  • Assessment of the market for nanotechnology and nanomaterials in energy including competitive landscape, commercial prospects, applications, commercialization timelines and market challenges
  • Unique market assessment tools for oppportunities and challenges in nanotechnology in the energy market
  • Full company profiles of producers and application developers including technology descriptions and end user markets targeted

As the performance of these technologies is dependent on the materials utilized, nanomaterials are providing the impetus for new product innovation in:
