Report: Summary about the state of Nanotechnology Industry Worldwide 2006-2015

Nanotechnology Goes Mainstream. Over 2500 Nanotechnology Based Products
Nanomedicine, Nanopharma, and all the related nano-industries will affect the traditional Life Science Industry by 60-80% within 10 years, as nanotechnology enables people to manipulate the molecules and atoms of the living beings.
However, two factors will greatly influence the development in different regions. One is the advances of instruments and tools of nanotechnology. They decide the accessibility to the nanoscale world. The other is legal and ethical acceptance. The attitudes to the innovations and new technologies affect largely the application of nanotechnology in Life Science.
The total market volume of nanotechnology in Life Science Industries amount to 8.1 billion US Dollars 2002. It is expected to surge to 29.9 billion US Dollars 2006 and reach 103.6 billion US Dollars 2010. The number of the companies involved in this field will increase from 600 in 2002 to 3000 by 2010.
The leading countries today are USA, Japan, China, Germany. China is now one of the world leaders in terms of its number of newly registered nanotechnology firms. Over the past three years, the number of companies in the field of nanotechnology in China has grown and reached over 600. This growth rate is very rapid and it does not show signs of slowing down. The sales to date have been largely domestic, but with the increasing global interest on the development of nanotechnology and with the advantage of modern communication we can safely speculate that this could be a very profitable investment in the near future.
Not only Life Sciences are included but also Automotive, Instruments and Tools to work with in the molecular world.
An explaintion of the Convergence of Molecular Technologies and an overview of the report is very interesting to say the least.
Astronomical amounts of money is being spent nanomizing food. The brain in next; after the automobile.
Good idea to save the brain nano-job for last, in case someone screwed-up with the food and cars.
