Figure 5: Investment willingness for VAMs in environment sector Source: Oxford Research AS. Percentage calculated from averages based on values of portfolio allocation (n=5). The willingness to invest in the environmental sector was focused on water technologies. All areas — from water treatment, desalination to waste water technologies — took up to 48 per cent of the potential investments. Another prospective area was solid waste management and related technologies (also related to technologies focusing on energy production from solid waste). These subsectors take more than threequarters of total environmental sector allocations. Figure 6: Investment willingness for VAMs in health sector Source: Oxford Research AS.

The health sector is largely dominated by large drug manufacturers with their research-oriented agendas and own laboratories. Still the health sector is very interesting for VC and PE (Venture Capital and Private Equity) in terms of producing medical equipment, new technologies for diagnosis and their related substances. Delivery Figure 7: Investment willingness for VAMs in ICT sector of prostheses and biomaterials for regenerative medicine is considered a huge market for intensive development in the future. These are seen as highly profitable niche markets where a high innovativeness and knowledge intensivity play crucial roles. Source: Oxford Research AS. Percentage calculated from averages based on values of portfolio allocation (n=3). The willingness to invest in transport accounted for 7 per cent of investors’ allocations demonstrated at Figure 3 was not depicted in form of graph since there was no division in their answers. The main reason for this is that the transport sector is normally divided by the mean of transportation including such categories as water, road, rail, air and space. A second approach to possible sector division is two-fold: passenger transport and goods transport. In all cases the use of materials is not determined so much according to this possible market segment division, but rather by the material usability. For example, the ultra-light and highly durable materials for transport will be used in many transport subsectors as they will lower the fuel consumption of the vehicle. Also energy storage and highly efficient fuel cells have the potential to be used in all transport environments. For these reasons investors were not able to give any information on the division of their possible investments in this sector, following the possible subsector divisions. Investors consider that the applications developed in other sectors will be applied in the transport sector as a matter of course, and therefore they are not interested in directly investing. However weight reduction and the role of lightweight materials is perceived as crucial for this sector. 5.3 Findings from interviews Interviewees give different estimates of future market shares of VAMs and different assessments in terms of percentages. Still, patterns clearly show confidence in future potential market growths. The difficulty of assessment of market size is 49
