Global Markets for Metamaterials 2016-2023 - Six Companies that will Shape the Metamaterial Business

Dublin, Jan. 18, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/mw8l4c/markets_for) has announced the addition of the "Markets for Metamaterials 2016-2023" report to their offering.

This report identifies the applications areas where n-tech believes metmaterials have a real opportunity to move beyond the lab to high-volume commercial applications. In this report we focus on - and forecast - the use of metamaterials in the following application areas:

- Aersospace and defense
- Medical
- Consumer wireless communications
- Infrastructure monitoring

The application for metamaterials that gets the most attention in the press is their ability to serve as invisibility cloaks for military aircraft. However, this futuristic application disguises the fact that metamaterials are already in use in antennas with many other applications rapidly emerging including optics, medicine, aerospace, infrastructure monitoring, military, earthquake monitoring, etc.

In this report we identify the revenue generation potential over the next eight years for metamaterials. This analysis includes a discussion of the commercial implications of the latest technological trends, and how new designs and performance improvements are likely to expand the addressable markets for metamaterials. For example, we look at the emergence of photonic metamaterials, tunable metamaterials, FSS selective surface based metamaterials, etc. The report also analyzes how end-user markets for shape memory materials are changing.

In putting together this report n-tech has drawn on its extensive experience in the smart materials space as well as interviews with key companies shaping these markets. n-tech believes that this report will provide valuable insight into metamaterials markets that will benefit marketing and business development executives from various parts of the supply chain, including raw material suppliers, chemical and coatings companies, specialized firms and OEMs, as well as investors with an interest in the smart materials business.
