Abstract
Predictions of future market growth for large scale applications of superconductivity are very bullish. This paper discusses there predictions in the context of research applications, defense and space, instruments for science and medicine, machine tools, materials processing, transportation, energy and national security. The status and the technical and non-technical market factors likely to influence growth for each of these applications are discussed.
