Companies that IDTechEx surveyed report growth rates as high as 300% over the next five years. New de- velopments regarding the production of pure CNTs and the separation of conducting and semiconducting carbon nanotubes are given in this updated report.

IDTechEx has researched 113 companies and academic institutions working on carbon nanotubes, graphene and their compounds, all profiled in the report. While manufacturers in North America focus more on single wall CNTs (SWCNTs); Asia and Europe, with Japan on top and China second, are leading the production of multi wall CNTS (MWCNTs) with Showa Denko, Mitsui and Hodogaya Chemical being among the largest suppliers.

• Activities of 100 global organizations which are active in the development of materials or devices using carbon nanotubes or graphene;

• Application to conductors, displays, transistors, super capacitors, batteries, photovoltaics and much more; • Types of carbon nanotubes and graphene and their properties and impact on electronics; • Current development as well as challenges in production and use and opportunities; • Forecasts for the entire printed electronics market which carbon nanotubes and printed electronics could impact.
