Global Smart Materials Market to Reach US$63.2 bn by 2020, Rising Demand for Piezoelectric Devices to Drive Growth

Transparency Market Research has released a new report, titled “Smart Materials Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020,” providing a comprehensive overview of the global start material market, covering the various factors influencing the market between 2014 and 2020. 

The rising popularity of piezoelectric devices is one of the key factors driving the global smart materials market. Piezoelectric devices are used for various purposes across industries such as security and defense, industrial equipment, aerospace, defense and security, medical, automotive, commercial sonar, home goods, and power generation and flow monitoring.  

Smart materials refer to a class of reactive materials that change a few of their properties in response to changing external environment conditions. These materials possess unique properties that can be changed or altered. Smart materials can sense the change in their external environment and respond to it accordingly by altering their properties. However, the response of smart materials to the changing environment varies, depending on their chemical composition.
