Market Insights
“Rising oil spilling accidents demands smart materials”
Technological development in the smart materials have expanded their scope of applications. With the growing applications in consumer electronics, aerospace & defense, automotive, civil engineering and healthcare, the demand for smart materials is showing rapid growth. Rising demand for sensors and actuators in consumer electronics, aerospace & defense, and consumer goods have propelled the overall market growth. Rising consumer preferences for automated and high-end machines and gadgets have pushed the demand for piezoelectric devices, in recent years.
In healthcare industry, shape memory alloys (SMAs) are increasingly used in medical devices which are biocompatible and does not induce any health problem. SMAs are favored for their ability to be bent and squeezed into a target body cavity or vessel after which they then revert to their original, working shape. Moreover, in civil engineering, smart materials such as sensual structure is helping to increase the durability of structures. This leads to enhanced safety and also provides early warning of its collapse. This in turn helping to reduce the upfront cost of the construction.
Growing application of smart materials have influenced the market players to invest in the R&D of the smart materials to grab major chunk of the market.
