Global market for critical materials in nanotechnology to reach nearly $9.4 billion by 2018

Critical materials are economically and/or strategically important raw materials that are at significant risk of supply disruptions as a result of resource limitations, political instability in producing areas, or political decisions by producer governments. Potential shortages of critical materials and related price increases can impact the nanotechnology industry in two ways: by jeopardizing existing nanotechnology applications of these materials and by creating new opportunities for other nanotechnology applications.

BCC Research provides an in-depth analysis of the global market for critical materials in nanotechnology through its report Critical Materials in Global Nanotechnology Markets. According to the report, this market was valued at nearly $6.5 billion in 2012 and is expected to increase to nearly $6.9 billion in 2013. BCC Research projects the market to grow to nearly $9.4 billion by 2018, and register a five-year compound annual growth rate of 6.5% from 2013 to 2018.

U.S. market for fracking fluids to reach nearly $37.3 billion by 2018

Hydraulic fracturing has changed the global energy landscape for the world and in particular the United States. The process, which relies on fracking fluids, has enabled shale gas and tight oil to become two of the fastest growing segments in North America. Factors strongly driving demand include recycling of fracking fluids and the establishment of new water supply channels and substitutes for water during the fracking process. Consequently, heightened social awareness of fracking techniques and greater scrutiny of fracking by the Environmental Protection Agency are expected to significantly impact this market.

BCC Research provides an in-depth analysis of the U.S. market for fracking fluids through its report The U.S. Market for Fracking Fluids. According to the report, this market was valued at $18.4 billion in 2012 and is estimated at $26 billion for 2013.

Global generic drugs market to reach $518.5 billion by 2018

This is a time of growth and change for the generic pharmaceutical sector. With several blockbuster brands coming off patent, demand for generic replacements is increasing steadily, resulting in reduced profit margins and an intense M&A environment. Indeed, the rise of so-called super-generics and mounting pressures to reduce healthcare costs globally are pushing drug prices even lower. Further, a whole new market field -- biogenerics -- is opening up, for those generics companies prepared to buy in. However, not all traditional companies are well-suited for these conditions.

BCC Research provides an in-depth analysis of the global market for generic drugs through its report Global Markets for Generic Drugs.
