Nano-Coatings on the Lux Innovation Grid
Projected to reach nearly $20 billion in 2015, nano-coatings lead the growth in nanointermediates – itself the fastest expanding segment of the nanotech value chain.
The nano-coatings space is diverse: As crowded as this grid appears, it only represents polymer and hybrid nano-coatings, a fraction of the overall sector. Not only is the represented space clearly over-populated, the suppliers occupying it are poorly differentiated.
Unsurprisingly, a shakeout appears due, and the Lux Innovation Grid reveals which companies are most exposed.
It visually ranks suppliers according to three metrics: technical value, business execution and maturity.
The strength and value of a company’s technology determines position on the vertical axis, ranging from 1 (Low) to 5 (High). A company’s ability to perform and achieve success is ranked horizontally from 1 (Low) to 5 (High). Finally, the maturity or completeness of a company’s development is reflected by its dot size, from 1 (Immature) to 5 (Developed).
