Glen Allen, VA - February 24, 2011 -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets LC, an established industry analyst firm covering the coatings space, has just released a new report identifying the opportunities for smart coatings over the coming eight years. According to NanoMarkets, sales of smart coatings are expected to grow from around $230 million ($US) this year to reach $1.3 billion in 2016, reaching $3.0 billion by 2018. NanoMarkets sees this growth as providing significant opportunities for firms in specialty chemicals, building materials, medical devices, and electronics.

Although, self-healing, self-assembling and other smart coatings have been available for some time, NanoMarkets believes that these products are on the verge of finding broad commercial acceptance primarily to provide longer lifetimes for a wide range of products, including those in the energy, and construction industries. Key examples of where smart coatings can add to product longevity include anti-corrosives and anti-microbials. NanoMarkets sees the functionality of smart coatings eventually expanding to provide a broad range of functionality in rapidly evolving markets such as drug delivery and smart textiles. “Smart” is the new “nano,” according to NanoMarkets.

Additional details about the report, including sample pages and a table of contents are available on the firm’s website at www.nanomarkets.net. Members of the press may request the report’s executive summary.
