STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Metamaterials offer seemingly endless possibilities, but it is unlikely that all of these possibilities will become reality.  The goal of this report, which is an update of an earlier BCC Research report published in 2008, is to survey emerging metamaterials technologies and applications, identify those that are most likely to achieve significant commercial sales in the next 5 to 10 years, and develop quantitative estimates of potential sales.  The report generally avoids futuristic speculation concerning technology applications that might be possible 10 years or further into the future and instead focuses on applications that are expected make it to market by 2021.

The report’s specific objectives, which include identifying the metamaterials with the greatest commercial potential in the 2012 to 2021 time frame, identifying market drivers and evaluating obstacles to their successful commercialization, and projecting their future sales, support this broad goal.

SCOPE AND FORMAT

This report addresses the emerging global market for metamaterials, including the following classes.  The common thread uniting this diverse group of materials is that they are all artificial materials with characteristics usually not found in nature, and they owe these characteristics to their structure rather than to their constituent element or elements.

  • Artificial dielectrics
  • Negative refraction media
  • Active terahertz (THz) materials (i.e., metamaterials that respond magnetically to far-infrared or THz electromagnetic radiation)
  • Chiral materials
  • Photonic crystals
  • Superconducting metamaterials
  • Extreme-parameter metamaterials (i.e., metamaterials whose internal structure has been modified or engineered on a molecular or nanoscale level to impart extraordinary strength, flexibility, or other characteristics)
  • Acoustic metamaterials

The study format includes the following major elements:

  • Executive summary
  • Definitions
  • General properties of metamaterials
  • Historical milestones in the development of metamaterials
  • Emerging and developmental metamaterials technologies and applications that demonstrate the greatest commercial potential through 2021
  • Detailed market estimates and projections for each application and material during the period from 2011 to 2016
  • General assessment of expected market trends in the longer term (i.e., 2016–2021)
  • Patent analysis
