“Nanotechnology: Impact of Nanotechnology on the U.S. Electronics Industry” predicts the nanoelectronics market will grow more than 45 percent during the next 10 years to more than $75 billion.

The study divides the market into first-generation products, which include nanotubes and nanowires, expected to emerge within the decade,; and second-generation, which includes molecular electronics, quantum computing and self-assembled electronic devices, which will not emerge for at least 10 years.
