Following on from the previous post which focused on SmartENERGY, it's worth taking a quick look at the other four key technology platforms as well.
Smart Coatings - Permanent OEM coatings for the prevention of mould, bacterial growth and enhanced corrosion protection.
AEI stated recently that they had a multi-million dollar qualified sales pipeline for the Smart Coatings technology alongside the SmartENERGY technology going into 2015.
The global anti-microbial coatings (smart coatings) market is on track to reach $3.3 billion by 2018, doubling in just six years.
Smart Surfaces - Point of use hard surface applications with unique long-term residual efficacy.
The global market opportunity for smart surfaces is in excess of $500 million per annum.
Smart Polymers - Plastic additives that are permanently microbially resistant whilst being environmentally friendly.
The US antimicrobial plastics (smart polymers) market was valued at $662 million USD in 2013 and is anticipated to reach $1.2 billion by 2020, expanding at a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period of 2014 through 2020.
Smart Water - Enzymatic remediation of biofilm in circuits including air-conditioning, large industrial plants, beverage and brewery.
AEI are in a good space and are definitely in the right place at the right time with the right technology, all that remains to be seen is whether they are able to take advantage of the opportunities open to them going forward.
