It will be useful for companies that would like to expand into different industries or to expand their existing operations in a new region.
Policy Pull: Product Passports, Ecodesign & Proof over Promise
Regulation has moved from encouragement to enforcement. In the EU, the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) entered into force on 18 July 2024; it's the cornerstone for 'circular by design' rules and lays the groundwork for Digital Product Passports (DPPs) that track content, repairability, recyclability and carbon data across value chains. In parallel, new 'green claims' rules are tightening how environmental benefits can be marketed, pushing suppliers to evidence every assertion.
For materials players, this turns sustainability attributes into must-have specifications rather than nice-to-have differentiators. Saint-Gobain's SageGlass, for example, can plug into smart-building controls and deliver verifiable energy savings that are easy to document in a DPP context, strengthening procurement cases in new builds and retrofits. Companies that can provide auditable data with their materials-composition, origin, recovery options-are becoming preferred vendors in regulated markets.
Compliance Burden & Claims Risk
While regulation is a growth driver, it's also a cost center. ESPR-linked DPP data capture and verification add overhead across design, production and aftermarket. At the same time, the EU's clampdown on misleading eco-claims (including offset-based 'climate neutral' messaging) raises litigation and brand-risk for marketing claims not backed by robust LCA.
This environment favors well-capitalized players with data infrastructure and accredited third-party verification-potentially squeezing smaller innovators who struggle to fund both R&D and compliance. Vendors must budget for auditable datasets and conservative language on sustainability claims to avoid penalties.
What would be the Impact of US Trade Tariffs on the Global Smart & Sustainable Materials Market?
The imposition of U.S. tariffs on smart and sustainable materials-ranging from advanced composites and specialty polymers to clean-tech metals-has created ripple effects across global supply chains. Since 2023, tariff policies on imports from countries like China and the EU have aimed to strengthen domestic manufacturing and reduce dependency on strategic materials, particularly in sectors such as electric vehicles, renewable energy, aerospace, and construction. However, these tariffs also raise costs for U.S. manufacturers that rely heavily on imported inputs, prompting a reconfiguration of sourcing strategies. Globally, trading partners have responded with countermeasures or trade diversification, creating uncertainty in cross-border flows of high-performance materials.
