The global market for shape memory polymers market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 26.9 between 2022 and 2032, according to a recently published study by Future Market Insights. As of 2022, the market is expected to be valued at $450.4 million. By the end of the forecast period 2022-2032, the market is expected to be valued at $3.5 billion.
Shape memory polymers are smart materials that can change shape in response to external stimuli. The materials are widely used in the automotive, biomedical, and aerospace industries. The biomedical industry is a major end-user of SMPs as they are used in the manufacture of a large number of surgical and diagnostic devices including catheters, sutures, stents, braces, splints, prostheses, and grafts. Hence, shape memory polymers (SMP) have gained worldwide fame as stimulus-responsive materials.
Shape memory polymers are also used extensively in the construction industry and find application as self-healing materials in sensors or actuators or structural state monitors and vibration control systems. Their use in kinetic buildings will also be important for industry. Even more so as the government is promoting an ecological zone and green buildings to reduce the carbon footprint and protect the environment.
