Ross said nanoenhanced textiles will generate 11 billion in sales this year, he notes. While some are skeptical of these projections, Uldrich thinks they are valid, citing Wilbur Ross, the billionaire financier who acquired NanoTex, which is developing innovative nanoparticles in textiles, to make them stainresistant. But this figure is expected to increase to 26 billion, then skyrocket to 220 billion by Add all these individual companies together, and nanotech could indeed represent multitrillion business.

And there are many similar examples of nanotech companies forecasting exponential growth. While some are skeptical of these projections, Uldrich thinks they are valid, citing Wilbur Ross, the billionaire financier who acquired NanoTex, which is developing innovative nanoparticles in textiles, to make them stainresistant. Ross said nanoenhanced textiles will generate 11 billion in sales this year, he notes. For example, General Electric GE is heavily invested in carbon nanotube research while and IBM IBM and Intel INTC have made improvements in semiconductors through the use of new thermal insulating nanomaterial that will result in 20 drop in power consumption.

Add all these individual companies together, and nanotech could indeed represent multitrillion business.The Lux index consists of companies that make tools used to develop nanotechnology, plus wellestablished largecap firms which are using nanotechnology in their existing product lines.
