Smart materials are manufactured by modifying the mechanical and physical properties of standard materials under externally controllable and applied fields. These materials are presently available in multi-functional variants, ranging from carbon nanotubes and graphene to inorganic nanoparticles and conducting polymers. They are superior to conventional materials in terms of selectivity, directness, immediacy, transiency, and self-actuation. Additionally, as they can be activated by electrical stimuli to alter their magnetic and electric fields, stress, acoustic, temperature, nuclear radiation, and chemical behaviors, smart materials are gaining immense traction in various end use industries across the globe.
Smart Materials Market Trends:
The increasing use of chemical products in several industries, along with the rising awareness among employees about workplace safety and protection from hazardous conditions, represents one of the key factors catalyzing the adoption of smart materials in protective clothing. Apart from this, the escalating demand for effective, localized, and need-based systems in numerous biomedical applications, including cancer targeting, controlled drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biosensors, is stimulating the market growth. This can also be attributed to the rising incidences of chronic diseases and trauma injuries, coupled with the growing need for regenerative medicines and personalized treatments. Moreover, due to the emerging demand for energy-efficient building materials, smart materials are combined with conventional construction materials to build structures that adapt to atmospheric conditions, such as wind, heat, or rain. Besides this, rising investments in research and development (R&D) activities to develop smart materials using biopolymers, such as bacterial cellulose, chitosan, gelatin, starch, polylactic acid, and polyglycolic acid, are creating a positive market outlook. Furthermore, as these materials are biocompatible, biodegradable, and capable of broad chemical modifications, their applications are anticipated to expand in formulating artificial muscles, biomimetic robots, and reconfigurable lens systems worldwide.
