Report Summary
FOREWORD
Materials research is a major part of any initiative to create products that have cost and performance benefits over existing offerings.
Innovative materials ' from concept to implementation ' can take decades to develop. A long-term view is essential. Low risk,
near-term development will not deliver large benefits. However, small modifications can maintain a leadership position in a maturing
market well enough to keep investors satisfied.
This Advanced Material Research Review provides a sampling of the type of quantitative market information, analysis and guidance
that has been aiding business decision making since BCC was founded in 1971. It includes highlights of reports published in 2010 on
the following advanced materials markets:
Powder Metallurgy: Technologies and Global Markets
Ceramic Matrix Composites: Technologies and Global Markets
Microspheres: Technologies and Global Markets
Thick Film Devices, Processes and Applications
Superconductors: Technologies and Global Markets
Photocatalysts: Technologies and Global Markets
Commercial Roofing Materials: The North American Market Microspheres, spherical micro particles 1 micron to 1,000 microns in
diameter, are innovative raw materials with superior functionality that help improve the quality of the final product at a reduced cost.
Microspheres are a growing element in many companies' tool boxes. The global market for microspheres in 2010 is estimated to be
$2 billion and growing at a 5'year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%, reaching global sales of $3.5 billion by 2015.
The global market for superconductivity applications is expected to reach nearly $2 billion in 2010 and nearly $3.4 billion in 2015, a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3% over the next 5 years. Superconducting magnets, particularly those used in science,
research and technology development, and healthcare applications dominate the market. However, superconducting electrical
equipment is expected to capture nearly 25% of the market by 2015.
The total demand for the North American commercial roofing market is estimated to grow by a 12.7% compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) in total market value and by an 8.8% CAGR in total market volume. By 2014, it is estimated that the total market value will
reach more than $5.8 billion, derived from sales of more than 74.3 million squares of product. As energy costs continue to rise, the
ability of roofing materials to reduce utility bills will begin to play a much larger role in helping to calculate the actual cost-effectiveness
of the roofing system. The rise in popularity of green building has produced a new demand in the market for a larger variety of
recycled roofing materials.
