Product code: 224401

Introduction

Abstract

THIS REPORT:
  • Detail a global market forecast for the industry with current and future trends, including date for 2008, estimates for 2009, and projections for the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2014
  • Describe the global market for advanced materials and devices for renewable energy systems, including the markets for solar photovoltaics, solar thermal power, small hydropower, wind energy, geothermal energy, and ocean energy
  • Provide a detailed review of important technology in the industry
  • Offer analyses of past and recent patents, and profiles of the top players in the market.

SCOPE OF REPORT

The report focuses on the global market for advanced materials (e.g., polymers, elastomers, composites, high-temperature alloys, powder metals, thin films, and others) and devices (sensors and controllers, optics, etc.) used in the fabrication of the following types of renewable-energy systems:

  • Solar photovoltaic
  • Solar thermal
  • Mini- and micro-hydro
  • Wind
  • Geothermal
  • Ocean

The report does not cover biofuels or renewable-energy-storage technologies such as batteries and fuel cells in detail because they are covered in other recent BCC studies.

The report format includes the following major elements:

  • Executive summary
  • Definitions
  • Overall trends in renewable-energy systems
  • Advanced materials and devices with current or potential applications in renewable-energy systems
    • Description
    • Commercial/developmental status
    • Specific renewable-energy applications
    • Properties/advantages and disadvantages/competing materials or devices
    • Main suppliers/buyers
  • Market size, segmentation and growth trends
    • 2008 Sales
    • Market Drivers
    • Market Projections, 2009-2014
  • Industry analysis
    • Number and size of firms
    • Company profiles

INFORMATION SOURCES AND METHODOLOGY

The findings and conclusions of this report are based on information gathered from renewable-energy products manufacturers, advanced materials and devices vendors and renewable energy-related organizations. Interview data were combined with information gathered through an extensive review of secondary sources such as trade publications, trade associations, company literature, and online databases to produce the baseline market estimates contained in this report.

The methodologies and assumptions used to develop the market projections in this report are discussed at length in the section on Detailed Market Estimates and Projections. The report carefully documents data sources and assumptions. This way, readers can see how the market estimates were developed and, if they so desire, test the impact on the final numbers of changing assumptions such as price.
