Advanced materials are new materials developed with modification on existing (traditional) materials for superior performance as compared to conventional materials present in the market. The development of advanced material leads to new insight in material science and create new intellectual property (IP). In process of developing advanced materials, material science has increasingly become more sophisticated creating products that are precise, small and complex. Ceramics, glasses, polymers, composites and metal alloys are key sectors for advanced materials. Other niche areas with advanced material development include advanced fibres (like Kevlar), synthetic composites, specialty adhesive, powdered metals, films, specialty chemicals, and nanotechnology. Development of advanced materials is mainly associated with investment in research. According to Industrial Research Institute (IRI), advanced materials research investment has become a priority research topic in amongst top ten R&D nations across the globe. Overall expenditure across the globe on advanced materials since 2014 has spiked over 3% per annum according to IRI. Industries are partnering (collaborating) with universities and research institutions fostering research for advanced materials. According to RDmag, collaboration between industries and research institutions across the globe is increasing by 4% every year since 2010, resource and knowledge sharing are the prime factors driving collaboration and partnerships. High entropy alloys, single material lithium ion batteries, organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials, metallic glasses, colloidal silver nanoparticles are some of the research projects under development within advanced materials. Research is the main investment priority with advanced material domain. Company investing into manufacturing advanced materials would have to pay royalty. At OBRC our reports provide patent analysis. Through patent analysis we offer strategic recommendations for clients with respect to technology and product worth investing aligning the niche market.

Nanomaterials, biomimicry, and smart materials are key trends in focus within advanced materials.  Nanomaterials are materials that are manufactured at nanometer scale (between 1 to 100nm) showcasing properties that are unavailable in bulk forms. Graphene is one of the most notable examples of nanomaterial. According to OBRC analysis, nanomaterial market is projected to reach revenues of $64billion by 2023. On similar lines, biomimicry is looked over as an important area for sustainable innovation. It involves abstracting ideas from natural world and creating new advance materials. Biomimicry products are widely being sought in areas of agriculture, textiles, buildings materials, medical prosthetics, water treatment, transportation and chemicals manufacturing. Nature inspired products based on whales, spider silk, sea shells and beehives can make over $1.6trillion of gross domestic product by 2030 according to New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Also, smart materials are precision designed materials having more than one molecular property and can change reversibly according to external environmental conditions (or stimuli). These stimuli include pH, temperature, pressure, light, electric or magnetic fields. OBRC analysis estimates smart materials market to generate more than $85billion by 2023. Shape memory alloys, quantum tunnelling composite, thermochromic materials, electroluminescent materials are some of the notable smart materials in market today.
