Abstract

Superconductivity is the absence of electrical resistance in certain materials at very low temperatures. It has been 100 years since the initial discovery of superconductivity in 1911. Since then, only one, major commercial application of superconductivity has developed: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the 1980s. Even so, MRI along with other superconductor applications has developed into a global market worth billions.

The superconductor industry has gone through six eras in the last 100 years and has just entered a new one-the 7th. Major improvements in technology and applications are expected to bring a renaissance of superconductivity during the next 10 - 15 years. This will be based not on incremental progress in the existing technologies like MRI and HTS (high temperature superconductors), but rather on a radical breakthrough in a different, highly attractive and rapidly growing industry, possibly power, clean energy, electronics, communications, transportation, defense, space and beyond.

Due to this rapid growth and major changes in technology, the superconductivity industry landscape will undergo a profound change, bringing huge increases in demand, profits in the billions of US dollars, and competitive upheaval.

This report provides a detailed look at the global superconductivity market in all its aspects, including:

• The last 100 years of superconductivity in terms of science, technology and industry.
• Global market for superconductivity in MRI, Research and Technological Development, New Large-Scale Applications, New Electronic Applications: 2007-2019.
• Global market for superconductivity in Low-Tc Superconductors and High-Tc Superconductors: 2007-2019.
• Total addressable market and growth rates for superconductivity in electric power generation equipment, electric power transmission and distribution equipment, large electric motors, smart grid battery storage: 2000-2019.
• High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) technology and market overview.
• Major opportunities.
• Challenges ahead.
• Price trends.
• Competitive landscape.
• Key strategic issues.

Additionally, profiles of 60 leading foreign and US manufacturers are given, along with 10 tables and 79 figures.

有關超導的100年歷史及新市場的調查報告書：Amadee & Company公司

Global Information, Inc.已開始銷售美國調查公司Amadee & Company, Inc.所發行的報告書「Superconductivity: The 7th Era and Coming Revolution in Power, Energy, Electronics, Computers, Communications, Transportation, Defence, Space and Beyond - Technologies, Applications, Markets, Competitors and Opportunities: 2011-2020... (全球超導體技術市場:第七時期開始發展)」

自1911年發現超導之後已歷經100年。之後超導主要作為商業利用的僅有1980年實現的MRI（磁氣共鳴圖像法）1件。

超導產業過去100年間經過6個時期，現在已進入第7個時期。由於技術•應用方法大幅改善，今後10∼15年間可以看到超導市場大幅復興。作為牽引角色的，除了原有技術（MRI和高溫超導）之階段性進步，亦能考量急速成長中各種產業（發電•綠色能源•電子產品•通信•交通•防衛•航空等）戲劇性的革新。

由於迅速的成長與巨大變化，圍繞超導產業的環境已歷經根本變化，且需求大幅增加、有巨額的利益及競爭激烈。另一方面，該部門的創業投資型企業吸引了他國對MRI以外領域開發沒有興趣的企業。新創業投資極為仰賴創業投資企業，然其行動在1999年的「網路泡沫」後變得非常警慎。

本報告結論為「若能活用經濟長期變動的理論及類似奈米技術和半導體技術，就能預見變成是超導技術第二個突破性產品」。
