Global market for critical materials in nanotechnology to reach nearly $9.

4 billion by 2018
Critical materials are economically and/or strategically important raw materials that are at significant risk of supply disruptions as a result of resource limitations, political instability in producing areas, or political decisions by producer governments. Potential shortages of critical materials and related price increases can impact the nanotechnology industry in two ways: by jeopardizing e isting nanotechnology applications of these materials and by creating new opportunities for other nanotechnology applications. !CC "esearch provides an in#depth analysis of the global market for critical materials in nanotechnology through its report Critical $aterials in %lobal &anotechnology $arkets.
