 A combination of technology and business factors has kept large-scale commercialization of photonic crystals in particular and photonic circuitry in general at bay. http://www.bharatbook.com/market-research-reports/consumer-electronics-market-research-report/global-markets-and-technologies-for-photonic-crystals-focus-on-the-emea-region.html
The principal reason for the lack of enthusiasm for embracing this technology is the unwillingness and apprehension involved in exploring alternatives to well-oiled and well-established fabrication processes. Most of these conventional processes, however, are facing the ends of their lives because they have reached their physical limits. Photonic crystal-driven sensing, which promises switching at speeds much higher than that which is delivered by present-day technologies, is therefore poised to gain greater acceptance in various industries.

To be fair, the extent of risk involved in such migration without the technology having being developed to a foolproof state is cripplingly high, but photonic crystal stakeholders have no reason to lose heart, as there are multiple avenues ...
... for monetizing them through an array of components and modules.

This report, which covers the market potential for such modules and components, does not claim to include an exhaustive list. It is indeed possible for photonic crystals to be employed in other areas. These modules and components have been selected because there are demonstrated instances of successful adoption of photonic crystals in these applications.

By charting the market potential for these modules and components, this report presents the full extent of the promise of photonic crystals through 2017.

REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY

BCC Research published its earlier report on photonic crystals in the middle of 2011. The reason for the quick review is the rapid changes in the prospects of photonic crystal components over 2011 and 2012. To be sure, the fundamentals of photonic crystals remain unchanged, as does the list of key components that will be monetized earlier than others. There are certain significant changes in the prospects of the components themselves that have prompted a second look. An additional prompting factor has been the relative lack of breakthrough in fabrication techniques that can prompt large-scale integration of photonic crystals with these modules and components. The ongoing economic and political crises in the European Union (EU), as well as in the Middle East and the South China Sea, have also contributed to the recalibration of the forecast. The review reassesses the strategies of key stakeholders, and records and analyzes latest developments.

A significant value addition facilitated by the review is the breakdown of individual photonic crystal components by key country markets. This breakdown provides an opportunity for analysis of the potential for photonic crystals to newer levels of refinement.In the larger context, the principal objective of this report is to chart the progress of a technology that is acquiring increasing surety and self-confidence across multiple domains. Photonic crystals have been the classic underachievers in that they have been full of promise and sound in theory but poor on implementation.

BCC Research forecasts that photonic crystals will witness an upswing in industry interest across several domains and applications. Photonic crystals can indeed rival electrons in terms of sheer versatility. In this context, it is interesting to note the approach adopted by different stakeholders toward photonic crystals. The report will provide a quantitative roadmap that will unravel this approach.A dilemma that one faces with a technology such as photonic crystals is to accurately chart its scope. The simplicity of its technical premise opens doors to numerous integration possibilities. This report aims to sift out the most relevant and timely integration approaches by identifying specific components and modules that are most likely to emerge as the largest adopters of photonic crystals in near future. Thus, the reader can derive an accurate estimate of the market size of not just the overall picture, but also of specific components and modules in terms of business markets, geography to regions and dimensions of the photonic crystals employed.
