Smart Materials Market-Piezo-electric Materials Lead Due to Rising Demand from IT, Robotics, By 2020

Smart materials can be included in the category of reactive materials that change their properties as a response to changes in external environment. Possessing multiple physico-chemical properties that enable these materials to change as per the external stimuli, smart materials have the capacity to adapt to the changed environment via alteration of their properties. Smart materials undergo changes when in contact with elements such as temperature, magnetic or electric field, pH, mechanical stress, and light. As the change occurring in the properties of these materials is reversible, smart materials can be reused over and over. Sensitivity to change, easy adaption, and quick response are some of the major advantages of smart materials. 
The global market for smart materials was pegged at US$27.7 bn in 2013 and is expected to keep expanding at a CAGR of 12.5% between 2014 and 2020. By the end of 2020, the market will have achieved a revenue worth US$63.28bn, predicts Transparency Market Research (TMR). 
The adoption of new methods in the domains of vibration control, environmental control, and monitoring of structural health is also responsible for the expansion of the smart materials market in this region. 


Growing Demand for Smart Materials Catapults North America at the Fore 
North America led the global smart materials market in 2013. The region is expected to retain its dominant position over the forecast period as well. By 2020, the smart materials market in North America is expected to account for a share of 38.2% in the global market. In response to the increasing demand for piezo-electric based actuators and motors, the market is advancing at a rapid pace. The growing demand for mimetic materials and structural materials has been a major growth driver of the smart materials market in this region. 
Europe is likely to emerge at the second position. Asia Pacific also promises considerable opportunities. It is expected to emerge as the fastest growing regional segment in the market. The region is home to several flourishing industries such as automotive, information technology, electronics, retail, aerospace and defense.

Piezo-electric Materials Lead Due to Rising Demand from IT, Robotics 
By product, the global market for smart materials has been segmented into thermally responsive materials, biomimetic materials, smart fluids, piezo-electric materials, and smart hydrogels. By revenue, the piezo-electric materials segment was the largest product segment in 2013. The growing demand from the robotics, information technology (IT), and automotive sectors is fuelling this segment. Piezoelectric devices exhibit high responsiveness, high precision, and high torque. As a result, they are increasingly adopted across several areas. The biomimetic materials are also expected to witness rising demand. 
By application, transducers, actuators and motors, sports and leisure, structural materials, mechanical structures, sensors, and energy harvesting devices are the key segments of the global market for smart materials. Of these, the actuators and motors segment emerged as the leading segment in the global smart materials market in 2013. The increasing deployment of actuators and motors by a number of end users is propelling the expansion of this application segment. The transducers segment also exhibits great potential for growth. The structural materials are witnessing rising demand from the developed economies of Europe and North America, therefore promising moderate growth. 
Channel Technologies Group, LLC, Kyocera Corporation, Advanced Cerametrics, TDK Corporation, CeramTec GmbH, CTS Corporation, APC International, Wright Medical Group, Inc., LORD Corporation, and Noliac A/S are some of the leading vendors operating in the global market for smart materials.

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
