Piezoelectric Smart Materials Market Segment Analysis - By Type

Polymers held the largest share in the piezoelectric smart materials market in 2020. Due to various characteristics such as low production costs, lightweight, fast processing, and their adoption for biological applications such as the acquisition of biosignals and the support for tissue regeneration/repair, the high growth of polymers in the piezoelectric smart materials market is seen. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and pure thermoplastic fluoropolymers are generally the selected materials among piezoelectric polymers because of their low cost, highly non-reactive properties, pressure super-sensitivity, and compliance with government regulations such as hazardous substance restriction for materials. Thus, with the growing market demand the rise of polymers in the piezoelectric smart materials market is estimated to increase in the forecast period.

Piezoelectric Smart Materials Market Segment Analysis - By Application

Sensors held the largest share in the piezoelectric smart materials market in 2020 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period 2021-2026. A piezoelectric sensor is a device that converts changes in strain, pressure, acceleration, temperature, or force into an electric charge using the piezoelectric effect. Piezoelectric sensor offers various advantages such as good frequency response, availability in desired shape, negligible phase shift, and small size. 

Owing to such properties sensors are used for process control, quality assurance, and for research and development in many industries.

Hence, the demand for piezoelectric smart materials is expected to increase in the forecast period due to these properties.

Piezoelectric Smart Materials Market Drivers

Increasing Demand for Piezoelectric Smart Materials in Building and Construction Industry

Piezoelectric smart materials can convert mechanical strain and vibration energy into electrical energy. This property provides opportunities for the implementation of renewable and sustainable energy through energy harvesting and self-sustaining smart sensing in buildings. Understanding the mechanism of piezoelectric properties of different components of the building, as well as the latest implementations and innovations in the building and construction industry, are important for the effective use of piezoelectric smart materials for sustainable building production. 

Furthermore, with advanced methods for improving the cementitious piezoelectricity and applying the material piezoelectricity for different building functions, more renewable and sustainable building systems are anticipated. Thus, owing to such benefits, an increase in the demand for piezoelectric smart materials in the building and construction sector is being witnessed.

Growth from Healthcare Sector  

Smart piezoelectric materials are attracting a lot of attention in the healthcare industry owing to their alluring properties. Due to the bio-compatibility and biodegradability of piezoelectric smart materials, progress in the application of piezoelectric materials in biomedical devices is seen. The increasing use of piezoelectric smart materials to design medical devices and provide a greater understanding of the piezoelectric effect in the medical industry is driving the growth of the market. Actuators and sensors, energy harvesters, and active neural tissue engineering scaffolds are all examples of medical devices that are constantly being researched. Piezoelectric smart materials such as sensors and actuators used in the medical devices can transform the flow rate, and pressure to generate or consume energy. 

Also, the rising investments for medical devices are another major factors driving the growth of the market. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the government of India has commenced various initiatives to strengthen the medical devices sector, with emphasis on research and development (R&D) and 100% FDI for medical devices. In May 2020, the government announced incentivization plans of at least Rs. 3,420 crore (US$ 4.9 billion) over a five-year period to further facilitate investments in manufacturing medical devices. Thus, all the aforementioned factors are therefore expected to drive the piezoelectric smart materials market growth during the forecast timeline.

Piezoelectric Smart Materials Market Challenges

High Cost of Piezoelectric Smart Materials

Piezoelectric smart materials are very efficient materials. Their performance, however, comes with high costs linked to the high level of R&D involved. End-users look for great efficiency with more affordable and low-cost products. As a result, the construction sector is cost-intensive and manufacturers are still searching for both effective and low-cost alternatives of piezoelectric smart materials while deciding on building materials. In the automotive industry, active piezoelectric smart materials are gaining demand; however, the rise in demand is hampered by the cost and availability. Even the manufacturers are expecting more developments with a view to the widespread use of piezoelectric smart materials technology. Hence, the rising cost of piezoelectric smart materials will further create hurdles for the piezoelectric smart materials in the forecast period.
