Nanotechnology
advances range from mundane scratchproof glass to precision drug delivery
systems. Computers the size of a sugar cube based on nano-materials could hold
the entire Library of Congress. The development of advanced materials based on
nanotechnology depends on continued spending on research.
Nano-technology refers to man made structure less than 100 nanometers. One
nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Nanoscale materials have exceptional
strength and characteristics that depend on the shape of the particle.

strength and characteristics that depend on the shape of the particle.
Nanotechnology has applications across many, many industries. More research is
needed for markets to develop to their full potential. The current
nanotechnology product set is illustrative of markets that could evolve. 500
major government, university, and private R&D programs are under way.
Nanotechnology represents the prospect of using existing materials and putting
them together in new ways to make new things, everything. First, it is
necessary to understand the characteristics of the individual nanoparticles as
distinct from atoms or macroscopic materials. Some basic science remains to be
discovered.
Continued funding of basic chemical research is needed to achieve this basic
chemical understanding. Over $3 billion was spent in 2003 on nanotechnology
research, at hundreds of government, university and private centers. Continued
research spending is anticipated to lead to development of $750 billion markets
by 2015.
Nanotechnology products in semiconductor, energy, healthcare, materials
science, and instrumentation have created existing nanotechnology markets of
$499 million in 2003 with growth expected to achieve markets of $4.5 billion by
2009.

This is the two-hundred twentieth report in a series of market
research reports that provide forecasts in communications, telecommunications,
the internet, computer, software, energy, and telephone equipment. The project
leaders take direct responsibility for writing and preparing each report. They
have significant experience preparing industry studies. Forecasts are based on
primary research and proprietary data bases. Forecasts reflect analysis of the
market trends in the segment and related segments. Unit and dollar shipments
are analyzed through consideration of dollar volume of each market
participation in the segment. Market share analysis includes conversations with
key customers of products, industry segment leaders, marketing directors,
distributors, leading market participants, and companies seeking to develop
measurable market share. Over 200 in-depth interviews are conducted for each
report with a broad range of key participants and opinion leaders in the market
segment.
WinterGreen Research, founded in 1985, provides strategic
market assessments in telecommunications, communications equipment, health
care, and advanced computer technology. Industry reports focus on opportunities
that will expand existing markets or develop major new markets. The reports
assess new product and service positioning strategies, new and evolving
technologies, and technological impact on products, services, and markets.
Market shares are provided. Leading market participants are profiled, and their
marketing strategies, acquisitions, and strategic alliances are discussed. The
principals of WinterGreen Research have been involved in analysis and
forecasting of international business opportunities in telecommunications and
advanced computer technology markets for over 30 years.
Ellen T. Curtiss, Technical
Director, co-founder of WinterGreen Research, conducts strategic and market
assessments in technology-based industries. Previously she was a member of the
