According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Smart Polymers Market is accounted for $1,700.35 million in 2021 and is expected to reach $6057.21 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 19.9% during the forecast period. Smart polymers are also known as environment-sensitive polymers as it responds to every slight change in the environment. Smart polymers are chemically formulated to sense a particular change in the environment in biological systems such as temperature, magnetic, pH, dual-stimuli, light intensity, etc.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand for advanced packaging materials

Demand for advanced packaging materials has been expanding significantly over the last few years, as these materials offer several advantages over traditional packaging materials. These advantages include moisture control and oxygen scavenging. Growth in the utilization of advanced packaging materials can be ascribed to changes in consumer habits, the introduction of new quality and safety requirements, and the implementation of new regulations in the food supply chain.

Restraint:

High cost

High cost related to the improvement of smart polymers is another factor projected to hamper demand. The development of the polymers and the technology involved is cost-intensive and are considered the major challenge for the overall growth of the smart polymers industry. The smart polymers that possess higher molecular weight are difficult to be tested in clinical trials and this has restricted their adoption in the key applications or get it approval. This factor is restraining the overall growth of the smart polymers industry.

Opportunity:

Rising demand for the automotive industry

The increasing demand for automotive vehicles has been rising fundamentally. Demand for automotive vehicles is likely to witness the same trend. The growth of the automobile sector can be ascribed to strong economic growth and a rise in purchasing power of consumers. Demand for smart polymers is directly connected to automobiles, as smart polymers are utilized in many applications in the automotive industry, ranging from reconfigurable storage bins, seat assemblies, energy-absorbing assemblies, hood assemblies, and vehicles structures to airflow control systems, releasable fastener systems, and adaptive lens assemblies. Thus, a rise in demand for two or four-wheeled vehicles is anticipated to fuel the smart polymers market across the globe.

Threat:

Health hazards associated with smart polymers

Health hazards that are related to smart polymers are likely to restrain the market growth during the forecast period. Health hazards include gastrointestinal upset, coughing, skin flushing, and kidney damage. Other drawbacks related to smart polymers such as thermosensitive polymers include low mechanical strength of the gel leading to potential dose-dumping, high burst drug release, lack of biocompatibility of the polymeric system, and gradual lowering of pH of the system because of acidic degradation.

The biomedical & biotechnology segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The biomedical & biotechnology segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth owing to the increasing utilization of smart polymers for the production of biocatalysts and the rising requirement for highly efficient polymers for the manufacture of effective drug delivery systems and phase separation processes. The polymer attached to the enzyme changes its conformation to protect the enzyme from the external environment and regulate the enzyme activity, thus acting as a molecular switch in the presence of external stimuli.

The shape memory polymer segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The shape memory polymer segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period due to its ability to control the original position even after the deformation position. Shape memory polymers have the dual-shape capability; it changes their shape in a predefined way when exposed to the stimulus.

Region with highest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period due to the rise in requirement for efficient & economical drug delivery systems, increasing demand in applications for camouflage & light-sensitive fabrics handling coupled with the rising healthcare sector. An increase in research activities is supposed to introduce the new application areas for smart polymers, which in turn provides growth opportunities to the industry players in this region.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to increasing investment in research and development activities for the development of effective and improved smart polymers. The rapid industrialization of the main product end-users primarily automotive, textile, and electrical & electronics sectors is another factor driving the market growth.
