Silver Inks and Pastes Markets: 2014-2021

This is the latest in NanoMarkets’ ongoing series of industry analysis reports on silver inks and pastes.  In this report we analyze how the changes within the applications for silver inks and pastes have impacted the business and what this means over the coming years.

On the positive side, the solar panel industry is reviving and is much more oriented toward crystalline silicon (c-Si) panels than before the great solar crash.  This is good news for the silver pastes business, because c-Si panels are major consumes of silver.  Silver inks and pastes suppliers also have some reason to be hopeful about the likelihood of large OLED lighting and displays panels finally being commercialized, since silver undoubtedly has a role to play in OLED electrodes.

The negatives for the silver inks and pastes business include the fact that plasma televisions and membrane switches, both which have consumed a considerable amount of silver pastes are phasing out and printed electronics is gradually being abandoned as a viable application by many suppliers.

This report also examines the commercial implications for silver inks and paste markets.  In this year’s report, we place a special emphasis on the replacement of silver by copper in critical applications such as solar panels. We also re-examine the future of silver inks and pastes in the light of the rising Internet-of-Things meme and address whether or not there will there be demand for printed silver used within all those sensors and smart objects.  Finally, we take one more look to see if nanosilver inks will ever make it out of the “research material” category.

In this evolving market environment, this report identifies which market opportunities for silver inks and pastes are likely to be the most important over the next decade.  And as with other NanoMarkets reports, we also include detailed eight-year forecasts in both volume and value terms, with breakouts by application, type of material and type of printing process used.  The report also contains an assessment of the product/market strategies of leading silver inks and pastes firms – both the traditional and the new suppliers that appearing from China and India.

MRRBIZ: Materials for Next-Generation Photovoltaics - 2014-2021 : Induatry Analysis ,size, share , market growth and trend

Materials for Next-Generation PV - 2014-2021 

The Photovoltaics boom and bust has rebooted efforts to commercialize the next generation of materials platforms for solar panels.  There has recently been a resurgence of the solar panel industry but many of the surviving firms are Chinese companies making conventional crystalline silicon (c-Si) panels.  Also surviving is First Solar with its stable and ongoing production of CdTe.

Visit Complete Report Here: http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis-details/materials-for-next-generation-photovoltaics-2014-2021

With the solar panel industry now back on track, however, the search is on once more for materials platforms that improve the conversion efficiency of solar panels, both now and in the future.  Some of these are close at hand – novel approaches to doping silicon panels are a good example here.  Meanwhile, the thin-film Photovoltaics sector is looking for its next success after CdTe.  This could be CIGS, but there are also several other complex materials that are being developed for next generation thin-film solar and which are now beginning to receive serious commercial attention.

We are also seeing the solar industry beginning to think out of the box with a slew of entirely new nanomaterials such as quantum dots, nanowires, nanotubes and graphene.  The commercialization of these materials for solar applications lies a few years off. But eventually they will offer radical new ways to boost the performance of the absorber, photoactive and electrode layers in next-generation solar panels.

MRRBIZ: Markets for Sensors for the Smart Grid: 2014-2021: Induatry Analysis ,size, share , market growth and trend

Markets for Sensors for the Smart Grid: 2014-2021

Markets has been providing coverage of the Industry and market for smart grid sensors for almost 5 years now and has obtained an insider’s knowledge of both the dynamics of this Industry and market and how sensors are currently being deployed in the smart grid. In this new report, we reexamine the Industry and market for grid sensors in what we believe are fundamentally new conditions.

Visit Complete Report Here: http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis-details/markets-for-sensors-for-the-smart-grid-2014-2021

First, we consider how the shift to the Internet-of-Things (IoT) will impact the smart grid Industry and market.  In past, grid sensors were either standalone devices or deployed in small networks that were not connected to each other.  In the near-term future we expect to see these sensors start to talk to other devices, not just in the grid, but also in lighting and HVAC systems as well as in a new generation of building automation systems.  The leap in functionality that the next generation of grid sensors will provide will both help to grow the Industry and market and lead to new requirements for such sensors

This is an analysis of how various players up and down the smart grid supply chain – firms such as electrical equipment manufacturers, electrical companies and the sensor makers themselves - will be able to make money out of smart grid sensor business.  In addition, as with previous studies we have included a forecast of the grid sensor Industry and market with breakouts by applications, types of sensor, etc.  We also identify the key firms in this Industry and market and analyze their strategies.
