Abstract
Predictions of future market growth for large scale applications of su perconductivity are very bullish. This paper discusses these predictio ns in the context of research applications, defense and space, instrum ents for science and medicine, machine tools, materials processing, tr ansportation, energy and national security. The status and the technic al and non-technical market factors likely to influence growth for eac h of these applications are discussed.
