Bioinspired and Nanoengineered Surfaces: Technologies, Applications and Global MarketsLONDON, April 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Report Scope: Chapter 8—Industry structure. More than 60 companies have been identified as having significant development operations involving the commercial exploitation of nanoengineered surfaces. These companies are targeting a variety of market sectors and a broad range of applications. Detailed profiles of their specific market interests and current status are outlined. Report includes: - 63 tables - An overview of the global market for nanoengineered surfaces, with coverage of the evolution and inspiration through biomimetics and bioinspired designs - Analyses of global market trends, with data from 2016, 2017, and projections of compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) through 2022 - Discussion of fabrication techniques, and properties such as solid-liquid interfaces, solid-solid interfaces, solid-vapor interfaces, biological interfaces, and optical interfaces - Examination of applications in terms of end uses and commercial prospects in the areas of biomedical, solar energy, electronics and displays, industrial process management, metal corrosion and wear, personal care such as cosmetics and hearing aids, photonics, protective coatings, and sensors - Patent analyses - Company profiles of major players in the market, including Agency For Science, Technology And Research (A*Star), General Electric Global Research, Italcementi S.P.A, Liquipel Llc , Slips Technologies Inc., and Ultratech International Inc. Summary Over the past decade, bioinspired structures—ranging from various plant leaves, to insects, gecko feet, crustaceans and even butterfly wings—have been the subject of intense scientific scrutiny. In many cases, scientists have unraveled and replicated the underlying physics and chemistry of these intriguing structures, leading to the prospect of designing artificial "nanoengineered" surfaces (NES) suitable for a multitude of commercial applications. These novel surfaces are initially being analyzed in an effort to understand their interactions with liquids, vapors, solids and light. These surfaces promise to improve a variety of consumer products as well as numerous industrial processes including solid-liquid-vapor fluid interaction phenomena (programmed wetting, superhydrophilicity, superhydrophobicity, superoleophobicity, anti-fogging, anti-icing, and condensation and heat transfer during boiling). Parallel progress in nanoscience and nanotechnology—especially in materials synthesis, fabrication, and characterization techniques—has recently led to the first commercial product entries in several niche markets. As pioneers exploring commercial market opportunities for NES, more than 60 companies representing a broad range of market interests are profiled. Based on a comprehensive technical market assessment, this report projects that five-year commercial revenue growth for NES technologies will be in nine main application sectors. As summarized in thetable and figure below, NES technologies have a broad commercial impact since each main marketsector accounts for a total of 29 individual revenue-generating subsectors. The building materials sector,which is by far the largest market, is projected to expand even more over the next five years. BCC expects this market to more than double from its current 2017 revenue level of approximately $REDACTED million to $REDACTED million by 2022. Other sectors expected to show strong growth by 2022 include electronics ($REDACTED million), aviation/marine/military ($REDACTED million), textiles ($REDACTED million) andenergy/environmental ($REDACTED million). Beyond 2022, the fastest growth market sectors are expected to include "other," rising from $REDACTED million to $REDACTED million by 2027 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of REDACTED%; automotive, risingfrom $REDACTED million to almost $REDACTED billion by 2027 at a CAGR of REDACTED%; and aviation/marine/military,rising from $REDACTED million to more than $REDACTED billion by 2027 at a CAGR of REDACTED%. Other strong sectorsare expected to include electronics ($REDACTED million), textiles ($REDACTED million) and energy/environmental ($REDACTED million). Overall, NES-based commercial markets are expected to grow from $REDACTED million in2017 to nearly $REDACTED billion by 2027.
