Organized by nanomaterial, nanotool and nanodevice applications, the report indicates growth in these areas: Materials Estimated at $10.8 billion in 2008, the nanomaterials market is expected to reach $18.7 billion in 2013, for an 11.7 percent compound annual growth rate. Tools BCC pegs tbe nanotool market at $1.9 billion in 2008 and predicts it will climb to almost $8.0 billion by the end of 2013, representing a 33.3 percent compound annual growth rate. One segment of the nanotool market - nanolithogtaphic tools used to produce the next generation of semiconductors - is expected to grow at a much faster rate than either nanotools Military Demand for Ground Vehicles to Boost Materials Market A new repiirt from Vector Strategy (Southem Pines, N.C.) forecasts that markets for ceramics, ballistic glass, fibet-reinforced composites and other materials will surge between 2008 and 2010 due to the military's demand for ground vehicles. Vector projects that the military will spend more than $9 billion on materials to meet tbe Implementation of the U.S. i>iui y ^ lUiiCj-iei m armor strategy within its various vehicle families will cause material demand to rocket between 2008 and 2010, a new Vector Strategy market report predicts. DOD's armor procurement rate for ground vehicles during the six years between 2008 and 2013. Vector says material markets will surge from 2008 through 2010 due to the military's procurement of mineresistant ambush protected vehicles, armored protection for its heavy expanded-mobility-tactical trucks and high mobility multipurpcist- wheeled vehicles. While Vector sees the material market dipping between 2011 and 2012, the fimi predicts a strong rebound in 2013 and beyond due to the military's demand for joint light tactical vehicles, manned ground vehicle armor and a transition ftom lower cost metallic armor solutions to higher cost non-metallic armor solutions. Vector's "Armor Procurement Forecast for U.S. Military Ground Vehicles" report projects the value of DOD's armot procurements in millions of dollars and provides vehicle and armor-kit counts.
