Chapter 1: Introduction
Study Goals and Objectives
Although the first elongated crystals, or whiskers, in nature were observed in the 1500s, synthetic nanowires were produced only after World War II, and utilization of nanowires in commercial products began even later, during the last decade of the 20th century.

Since then nanowires have been introduced in the manufacturing process of various devices that find applications in fields such as electronics, optoelectronics, energy, sensing, and healthcare.

The main goal of this report is to provide a current and detailed assessment of the market for nanowirebased devices, including an objective analysis of industry and technological trends, and prospects for future growth. In addition, an updated review of the most important advancements in nanowire fabrication technology is offered, with a focus on those processes that will contribute to market growth during the next five years.

Specifically, the major objectives of this study are to:

• Provide an updated review of the various types of nanowire-based devices within their field of application.
• Discuss the most advanced processes and materials employed for production of nanowires.
• Highlight new technological developments during the past three years, while outlining current technical issues.

Chapter 2: Summary and Highlights
Customarily, nanowires are considered to be a type of nanofiber. Nanofibers are defined as cylindrical structures having a diameter below 1,000 nm and an aspect ratio (the ratio between length and width) greater than 50, whereas nanowires have a diameter measuring 100 nm or below and an aspect ratio greater than 1,000. Due to their morphology, nanowires have a very high surface area, are flexible and, when they their diameter reaches 10 nm or below, exhibit the quantum confinement effect. Nanowires are gaining increasing interest for a variety of new applications that take advantage of their shape, surface area, and unique characteristics.

Nanowires are available from a range of materials, such as pure elements, metals, alloys, ceramics, polymers, or semiconductors. BCC Research has identified five main groups of devices that are being produced from nanowires: electronic, optoelectronic, energy, medical, and sensing devices.

This study provides an updated and comprehensive description of nanowire-based devices as well as an overview of their fabrication processes and applications, outlining current technical issues and the latest technological developments related to the manufacturing of these products. It also offers a detailed market analysis for nanowire-based devices by segment (device category, material, and region), describing technical aspects and trends that will affect future growth of this market.

As shown in the Summary Table, the global market for nanowire-based devices increased from $953 million in 2015 to $1.2 billion in 2016 and is estimated to reach nearly $1.6 billion by the end of 2017, corresponding to a rapid compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.2% during the two-year period.

Optoelectronic devices currently account for the largest share of the market at an estimated REDACTED of the total in 2017, corresponding to REDACTED million in sales. Within this segment, nanowire-based devicesare primarily comprised of displays, light-emitting diodes, and lasers.

The next-largest category of products is energy devices with projected revenues of REDACTED million in 2017 (or REDACTED of the total). Energy devices consist mainly of solar cells and batteries. Sensors and actuatorsalso represent a relevant share of the market, at REDACTED of the total in 2017, whereas the remaining applications combined (i.e., electronic and medical devices) account for a REDACTED of the total.

Demand for nanowire-based devices is projected to continue growing at a robust pace during the next five years, due to a variety of factors, including the following:

• Increasing penetration of nanowires in the fabrication of displays, solar cells and batteries.
• Healthy growth of flexible, and stretchable devices, including sensors, displays, and solar cells.
• Launch of new generations of transistors based on nanowire arrays.
• Development of new and advanced materials and fabrication processes for nanowires that allow for high-throughput manufacturing of nanowires with low production costs.
• Rapidly rising levels of related R&D activities.

As a result, the total market for nanowire-based devices is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 30.6% from 2017 to 2022, reaching global revenues of nearly $6.0 billion by 2022.
