INTRODUCTION

STUDY BACKGROUND
The electric response of materials largely stems from the dynamics of electrons, and their interplay with atoms and molecules. A material can be classified as a conductor, semiconductor or insulator according to its response to an external electric field.

These materials and structures will probably allow metal oxide–semiconductor (MOS) devices to remain competitive for at least another 10 years. Beyond this time frame, entirely new device structures (such as nanowire or molecular devices) and computational paradigms will almost certainly be needed to improve performance.

Traditional electronic materials have been pushed to their limits as advancements in technology, more sophisticated user requirements, and emerging industries have created the need for better, faster, lighter and more environmentally sustainable materials which means that entirely new material, and new device structures are required.

New innovations in electronic materials are supporting the need to squeeze more functionality into smaller, thinner, more flexible and aesthetically pleasing devices, with longer lasting batterries.

There is also a need for these new materials to increase the density of devices as well as increase energy efficiency for computing and reliability. Based on these requirements, there are a number of promising materials emerging including III-V compounds, Ge, low-dimensional materials (e.g., carbon nanotubes [CNTs], nanowires, graphitic systems, nanoparticles), macromolecules, self-directed assembled materials, spin materials, complex metal oxides and selected interfaces.

These materials have shown promise of being applicable and appropriate substitutes for silicon in the future. Researchers across the globe, such as Michael Arnold and Padma Gopalan, materials engineers (2016) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, have begun to create transistors (carbon nanotubes) that outperform state-of-the-art silicon transistors from materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene semiconductors.

These advancements could pave the way for new electronic material transistors to replace silicon transistors/semiconductors and continue delivering the performance gains that the computing industry relies on and consumers demand.

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The goal of this report is to survey emerging electronic materials technologies and applications, identify those that are most likely to achieve significant commercial sales in the next five to 10 years and develop quantitative estimates of potential sales. The report generally avoids futuristic speculation about technology applications that might be possible more than 10 years into the future, focusing instead on applications that are expected to make it to market by 2026.

The report's specific objectives support this broad goal. These objectives include identifying the new electronics materials with the greatest commercial potential in the 2016 to 2026 time frame, identifying market drivers, evaluating obstacles to their successful commercialization and projecting future sales.

INTENDED AUDIENCE
This report is intended for marketing executives, entrepreneurs, investors, venture capitalists and other readers with a need to know where the electronic materials field is headed over the next five to 10 years

SCOPE AND FORMAT
The report addresses the global market for new electronic materials during the period from 2016 through 2026. The report quantifies new electronic materials produced for use in the production of electronic materials (transistors, semiconductors, displays, etc), Estimated values used are based on manufacturers' total revenues, and research grants awarded towards R&D.

Projected and forecast revenue values are in constant US dollars, unadjusted for inflation. . Electronic materials are those that are used to affect the electrons or their associated fields in a desired manner consistent with the intended function of the electronic system. Other materials used in electronic devices, such as thermal management or packaging materials, are not covered in this report.

New electronic materials are those that are not yet in widespread commercial use or are still under development, such as:
• Graphene.
• Quantum dots.
• Photonic crystals.
• Carbon nanotubes.
• Superconductors.
• Nanowires.
• Conducting and semiconducting polymers.
• Phase change materials.
• Molybdenite.

The report format includes the following major elements:
• Executive summary.
• Definitions and key concepts.
• New materials.
• Major applications.
• Market drivers.
• Global trends in the market for new electronic materials by type of material and application (2016–2026).
• Patent analysis.
• Company profiles.

INFORMATION SOURCES AND METHODOLOGY
The findings and conclusions of this report are based on information gathered from industry sources, including manufacturers and users of new electronic materials. Interview data were combined with information gathered through an extensive review of secondary sources such as trade publications, trade associations, company literature and online databases.

BCC Research chose 2015 as the base year because, at the time the report was prepared (i.e., in H12016), complete year-end data for 2015 were not available from all sources. With 2015 as a baseline, market projections were developed for the years 2016 to 2026. These projections are based on a combination of a consensus among the primary contacts combined with an understanding of the key market drivers and their impact from a historical and analytical perspective. The analytical methodologies used to generate the market estimates are described in detail along with the market projections.
