Smart Materials Market: Summary
The Global Smart Materials Market is projected to reach a value of USD 121.29 billion by 2027 at a CAGR of 13.5%.
The smart materials are designed material which have one or more properties that can be significantly changed in a controlled fashion by external stimulus, such as stress, moisture, light, temperature, or the chemical compounds. Also, the smart materials consist of materials which is respond to changes in their environment and then undergo a material property change. Global smart materials market is rising with increasing demand of piezo-electric devices. However, the lack of awareness among end-users are expected to hinder the growth of the market.

Smart Materials Market: Market Dynamics
Market Driver:
- Growing Demand for Sensors and Actuators in Consumer Electronics
- There has been growing demand for sensors and actuators in consumer electronics, this plays a significant role in smart materials market. The smart materials are applied in manufacturing of actuators & sensors with its advantages, which includes fast response, high energy density, compact size as well as fewer moving parts
- The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has funded the various research activities to evaluate the application potential of the product in the defense sector
- The DARPA has developed a .50-caliber bullet known “Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) bullet”, which involves the use of smart actuators
- For example, the smart materials are also used in smart phones as image sensors for camera, Piezoceramics and quartz, crystals in accelerometers, barometers, microelectronic components, GPS (TCXO), gyroscopes, hygrometers, and light sensors
- Furthermore, the smart materials are being mainly used in manufacturing of electronic instrument such as sensors, actuators, electroactive polymers etc.
- Rising Demand of Piezo-Electric Devices
- Rising in the Defense Budget
Market Challenges:
- Lack of Awareness Among End-Users
