Trends of the Nanomaterial Market

Abstract

The authors analyze theoretical, scientific and economical prerequisites for the world nanotechnological market development. The topicality of this problem is determined by the strategic priority of nanotechnologies in all branches of the world economy to pass to a new type of economy based on knowledge of innovative technologies. A term of «nanotechnological paradigm» is introduced which is a potential for the reconstruction and improvement of production in many branches of modern economy. It is proved by the analysis of development trends of this paradigm in the world economy. Nanotechnologies give a fundamental base for manufacture of new materials and products on molecular level which should be used in the different kinds of human activities. In its turn, this opens new possibilities to evolve all high-tech industries in developed countries. In this article the authors equate market of nanotechnologies and nanoproducts to the market of other products. The structure of this market is determined. According to the forecasts the most developed countries separate nanotechnology market from nanoproduct one.
