NanoMarkets today has announced the addition of a new report on building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) to its publication schedule titled “BIPV Roofing Markets - 2012” (Nano-543) that will be released the week of May 28th.

Glen Allen, Virginia - May 15, 2012 -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today has announced the addition of a new report on building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) to its publication schedule titled “BIPV Roofing Markets - 2012” (Nano-543) that will be released the week of May 28th. The report is available at pre-publication rates through May 29th. For additional information about the report interested persons can visit the NanoMarkets website at http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/bipv_roofing_markets_2012.

The firm has also announced that it will be releasing a report on the BIP encapsulation market in May and has also released a related report on BIPV glass market in February of this year. Information about these reports is also available on the NanoMarkets website at http://www.nanomarkets.net.

About the Report:

BIPV offers both the PV industry and the building products industry a way out of their current economic plights. For PV firms, BIPV provides a product strategy geared to adding value to products. For the building products industry, BIPV represents a new line of products that will enable construction firms to add saleable features to buildings of all kinds.

While all this is true of all BIPV products, there is a natural migration path from today’s rooftop PV panels to BIPV roofing. With this in mind, NanoMarkets is publishing this report, which identifies and quantifies the market opportunities for BIPV roofing.

The report discusses a roadmap for BIPV roofing in which business revenues are generated initially by simple overlay products and then by conventional rigid and flexible BIPV roofing products and finally from fully integrated products. The report also shows how the performance of BIPV roofing is expected to evolve with a special focus on lifetime requirements and the materials that will be used both for substrates and absorber layers.

This report also includes extensive forecasts of the BIPV roofing market in terms of wattage, area covered and revenues generated. Breakouts are provided by type of building, type of BIPV roofing and key materials used. In addition, we project the nations and regions that will generate the most revenues for BIPV roofing and the breakouts of the BIPV roofing market by retrofit and new construction. As usual with NanoMarkets reports, this report also includes a detailed assessment of the strategies of the leading firms currently supplying BIPV roofing products.

The firm is a recognized leader in industry analysis and forecasts of this kind and has been covering the photovoltaics sector for more than six years.

NanoMarkets Announces Upcoming Report LED Phosphor Markets - 2012 Set for May 2012 Release

NanoMarkets today has announced the addition of a new report to its publication schedule titled “LED Phosphor Markets - 2012” (Nano-541) that will be released the week of May 28th.

Glen Allen, Virginia - May 15, 2012 -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today has announced the addition of a new report to its publication schedule titled “LED Phosphor Markets - 2012” (Nano-541) that will be released the week of May 28th. The report is available at pre-publication rates through May 29th. For additional information about the report people can visit the NanoMarkets website: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/led_phosphor_markets_2012

About the Report:

In some countries, LEDs are expected to be the dominant general lighting technology by the end of the decade. The primary driver for this transition is the high efficiency and long lifetimes of LED lighting and a major reason that many governments around the world are promoting their use through the regulatory process.

Nevertheless, this shift in technology use has not been entirely welcomed by consumers, primarily because LEDs often render colors poorly compared with the traditional incandescent bulb. Another concern is the warmth or coolness of LED light, which is not always judged attractive by consumers. Also, variations in LED color temperature vary with viewing angle, sometimes making the experience of being in an LED - lighted room less than satisfactory.

Most LED manufacturers now see these issues as being critical to the long-term success of LED lighting creating a major opportunity for firms making the LED lighting phosphors that control the color rendering and color temperatures of the LEDs. Makers of phosphor materials and related products can expect the same high growth that the LED lighting market is enjoying. In addition, NanoMarkets believes that the LED lighting market is still open to new kinds of proprietary phosphor solutions, with the potential for phosphor firms to build their brands and create protectable IP.

This new NanoMarkets report provides an in-depth analysis and forecast of the LED phosphor market in the next eight years. It builds off the extensive experience that NanoMarkets has in the area of solid-state lighting and related materials.

This report examines the latest market strategies, products and technical developments in the area of LED phosphors. We identify how performance improvements are likely to help grow addressable markets for phosphors, with an especial focus on general illumination, outdoor/street lighting and backlighting and where the opportunities are to be found to make money in the LED phosphor market.

The report also includes NanoMarkets’ assessments of the strategies of leading firms active in the LED phosphors space. And, as always with NanoMarkets reports, this report contains granular eight-year forecasts of the inorganic LED phosphors shipments in volume and value terms, with breakouts by type of phosphor. This report is required reading, not just for strategy planners at phosphor firms, but for those throughout the solid-state lighting industry.
