Smart Polymers - Global Market Outlook (2017-2023)

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Smart Polymers market is expected to grow from $1.52 billion in 2016 to reach $3.98 billion by 2023 with a CAGR of 14.7%. Application of shape memory polymer in automotive industry, requirement of efficient technologies over existing ones, beneficial property of phase transition and the usage of smart polymers for controlled drug delivery are the crucial factors that fuel the growth of the market. On the contrary, high cost associated with the use of smart polymers and changes over in the industry of healthcare are the key factors to hamper the growth of the market in the forthcoming years.

Among the Polymer types, the shape memory polymers segment hold the highest share in the market, because of the broad range of applications like inexpensive, reusable custom molds, deployable components and dynamic configurable parts. North America led the global market with largest share. It is likely to remain in the leading position throughout the forecast period due to technological advancements. Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the fastest-growth as a result of the rapid industrialization of the main product end-users primarily automotive, textile, and electrical & electronics sector.
