Bharatbook.com : Real economic potential & latent demand for Products Incorporating Nanotechnology

The 2009 Report on Products Incorporating Nanotechnology: World Market Segmentation by City
 
 This report was created for global strategic planners who cannot be content with traditional methods of segmenting world markets. With the advent of a “borderless world”, cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This report covers the top 2000 cities in over 200 countries. It does so by reporting the estimated market size (in terms of latent demand) for each major city of the world. It then ranks these cities and reports them in terms of their size as a percent of the country where they are located, their geographic region (e.g. Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America), and the total world market. ( http://www.bharatbook.com/Market-Research-Reports/Report-on-Products-Incorporating-Nanotechnology-World-Market-Segmentation-by-City.html )
 
 In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have been occasionally asked to investigate the market potential for various products and services across cities. The purpose of the studies is to understand the density of demand within a country and the extent to which a city might be used as a point of distribution within its region. From an economic perspective, however, a city does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries. To an economist or strategic planner, a city represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another.
 
 In what follows, I summarize the economic potential for the world’s major cities for “products incorporating nanotechnology” for the year 2009. The goal of this report is to report my findings on the real economic potential, or what an economist calls the latent demand, represented by a city when defined as an area of dominant influence. The reader needs to realize that latent demand may or may not represent real sales. For many items, latent demand is clearly observable in sales, as in the case for food or housing items. Consider, however, the category “satellite launch vehicles”. Clearly, there are no launch pads in most cities of the world. However, the core benefit of the vehicles (e.g. telecommunications, etc.) is “consumed” by residents or industries within the world’s cities. Without certain cities, in other words, the market for satellite launch vehicles would be lower for the world in general. One needs to allocate, therefore, a portion of the worldwide economic demand for launch vehicles to both regions and cities. This report takes the broader definition and considers, therefore, a city as a part of the global market.
 
 Market Potential Estimation Methodology Overview
 This study covers the world outlook for products incorporating nanotechnology across more than 2000 cities. For the year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the city in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the city is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created.

Integration of Nanotechnology Will Enhance Fuel Cells Market Potential

The Global Fuel Cells Market: Key Trends and Growth Opportunities up to 2015

This report gives an in-depth analysis of Global fuel cells market and provides growth opportunities up to 2015. The research analyzes the growth and evolution of the Global fuel cells market up to 2008 and gives historical statistics for 2001-2008. This research analyzes the market scenarios for this technology and regulatory policies that govern them. This coupled with elaborate country profiles of key market give a comprehensive understanding of the market scenario. ( http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=129701&rt=The-Global-Fuel-Cells-Market-Key-Trends-and-Growth-Opportunities-up-to-2015.html )

Fuel Cells Market is Expected to Commercialize by 2013-2015
Demand for non-toxic-substance-based energy storage is expected to accelerate the demand for stationary fuel cells in the coming decade. Technological advancements and an increase in sales are expected to bring the cost of fuel cells down. As a result, the technology is expected to become commercialized by 2013-2015. Commercialization of the market will lead to rise in number of fuel cell installations in 2015 which are expected to exceed hundreds of thousands units.

Fuel Cells Market is in its Nascent Stage of Development
Despite the various advantages of the technology, the fuel cell market is yet to be a part of the mainstream market mainly due to its high cost and lower durability in comparison to grid power. Since the market is in its development phase the fuel cell industry has large number of manufacturers. This is primarily because most of the technological developments are taking place in universities or government laboratories which further spin out as new business units and seek private equity and venture funding from established corporations.

Integration of Nanotechnology Will Enhance Fuel Cells Market Potential
Nanotechnology is providing increased durability to fuel cells and is making its costs competitive with traditional sources of power generation. In 2008, more than 2,100 organizations engaged in the development of nanotechnology for fuel cells and hydrogen energy, spent more than $4.7 billion on this research. Fuel cell technology development coupled with integration of nanotechnology will provide the fuel cell market with greater reliability, durability, and power, at a lower cost along with the advantages of lower emissions and fuel saving.

Price of Fuel Cell Installations is Expected to Go Down in the Future
The price of fuel cells is expected to decrease in the near future as production increases in response to the government support in terms of subsidies and coordinated R&D, coupled with technological development in making fuel cell manufacturing more profitable. The mass production of fuel cell vehicles is not expected to gather momentum before 2015 although many producers will manufacture about 100 vehicles per year for fleet demonstration. This delay in mass production of fuel cells is mainly due to the lack of appropriate infrastructure to support the development. Though various countries are taking steps towards the development of hydrogen fueling stations inadequate infrastructure will push further commercialization of fuel cell market till 2015. Even with this hurdle the fuel cell installations costs will come down because of the technological developments and government support mechanisms.

Environmental Concerns Are Driving the Fuel Cells Market
Fuel cells are an emission free power sources used for vehicles, potable devices, and residential, commercial, and industrial purposes. Lead-acid batteries, traditionally used for energy storage contain toxic waste such as lead, which need to be effectively disposed of at the end of the life of a system. The growing need to curb toxic wastes therefore drives interest into alternate energy solutions such as fuel cells due to their emission-free nature. The rising energy demand boosts the need for clean sources of power generation which in turn gives way to fast paced development of the fuel cells market.

Lack of Infrastructure is Hampering Market Development
The global market for power supply systems does not have the adequate infrastructure required to transport, distribute, and store fuel cell systems and the fuels used in them. As a result, the fuel cells market is unable to cater effectively to the growth in demand for systems. Fuel cell vehicle manufacturers also anticipate infrastructure as the primary bottleneck in the development of technology. Hydrogen fuelling stations are slow to develop and are also expensive which adds to the challenges for the technology.

Investments Are Pooling in for Fuel Cell Development
Global fuel cell industry is attracting a large pool of investments primarily due to the huge demand potential the industry possesses. Since the fuel cell technology is being promoted by the governments across the globe in form of subsidies, financial incentives, and tax benefits, more and more investors are putting in money in the sector. During 2002 to 2009 the fuel cells market has attracted the investment of more than $663m in the form of equity financing, private placement, private equity, venture financing, and so on. Investments peaked in 2004 when the industry received investments of about $170.3m which resulted in an increased number of installations coming online in 2005. The investments decline during 2008 and 2009 as a result of economic crisis but it is expected that the fuel cells market will attract more investors once the economy recovers.
