GLEN ALLEN, Va.—According to market research firm NanoMarkets, the sensor market will take off rapidly in the next decade, driven by the needs for better diagnostics for an aging population, environmental monitoring, national security and military markets, and—in the not too distant future—small scale robotics.

According to a newly released report from NanoMarkets, an industry analysis firm based here, organic electronics (OE) manufacturing has advanced to a stage where companies are now capable of producing electronics devices in volume that can compete with products offered by the traditional semiconductor companies.

According to NanoMarkets' analysis and forecast, sales of such inks will see declines for the next few years before the market begins a recovery in 2011. [...] as inflationary pressures resume in 2010 NanoMarkets expects renewed impetus for alternative approaches to conductive inks.About the ReportNanoMarkets' report, Silver Inks and Pastes for Printable Electronics: 2008-2015 (Revised Edition), quantifies the opportunities for silver inks in both traditional applications and in RFID, Photovoltaics, Displays, Sensors and Lighting.

GLEN ALLEN, Va.—NanoMarkets, an industry analyst firm, has issued a new white paper titled “Thin-Film and Printed Batteries: On-Board Solutions for Low-Power Electronics.” The paper is drawn from a NanoMarkets report that analyzed and forecasted the market for thin-film and printed batteries. To access the paper, visit the firm’s Web site at www.nanomarkets.net. “Thin-Film and Printed Batteries: On-Board Solutions for Low-Power Electronics” discusses the value propositions that are emerging from the thin film and printed battery area. These interesting devices are relatively expensive when compared to conventional miniature batteries and so must find unique applications where their characteristics can overcome the price challenge.
