"Laggards of innovation in this space... risk being clipped by a new entrant into the market." - Paul Martyn, vice president of supply strategy at BravoSolution.
The Future
"In the next five to 10 years," said Martyn, "manufacturers should be venturing out and looking for additional sources of supply. By looking at additional sources through folks in the equity world and mining industry, you can begin to get a sense of when additional supply may come out."
Like any such innovative endeavor, he said, the key is to hedge.
"Early entrance into the field could shore up this new supply by making an early commitment," he said. "You're absorbing more risk earlier, but it could pay off in big dividends in the new market."
