Electroactive Polymers Market - Important Factors, New Trends of Market 2024

Electroactive polymers are one of the most versatile elastomers that can be stimulated by applying suitable external electric field. They have emerged as promising in a variety of electronics and automotive applications. The burgeoning application of electroactive polymers in the electronics industry, especially in developing regions, is driving the evolution of the market. Electroactive polymers have wide applications as actuators and sensors in various end-use industries. 

Advances in materials used in developing electroactive polymers and recent cutting-edge innovations in manufacturing processes have resulted in actuators being robust, efficient, and more functional. As a result, electroactive polymers find extensive demand from the automotive industry in making a variety of components such as sensors and accelerometers. In the coming years, advances being made in the actuator segment will open up promising applications in the healthcare sector with their use in biomimetic-robotics. 

A large untapped market in various regions such as North America and Europe are expected to open up lucrative growth avenues for companies. Witnessing numerous promising opportunities, the electroactive polymers market is projected to rise at 7.6% CAGR during the forecast period of 2016–2024, in terms of revenue. The estimated revenue of the market was US$3.15 bn by the end of 2016 and by the end of 2024, it is anticipated to garner a value of US$5.69 bn. 
Protection of Electronic Devices against Electromagnetic Interferences to Boost Uptake
The major application segments of the electroactive polymers market are electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection, actuators, sensors, antistatic packaging, plastic transistors, inks, and paints. Among these, the ESD and EMI segment is projected to lead the market. The mounting threat of electromagnetic interferences and electrostatic discharges in consumer electronic devices and semiconductors. High-performance electroactive polymers find use in making various EMI-shielding components.
Compared to traditional polymers, these polymers can prevent the formation of static electricity, leading to the impressive growth of the sector. The electroactive polymers for ESD and EMI protection segment is projected to reach a value of approximately US$2bn, globally. The burgeoning demand for sensors and actuators for automobiles is also anticipated to expand the applications of these polymers. Meanwhile, the conductive polymer segment is projected to generate maximum revenue by the end of the forecast period.
North America Market to Dominate in Applications of Electroactive Polymers
Regionally, the global electroactive polymers market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. Of these, current North America dominates the global market and is projected to remain so throughout the forecast period. The U.S constitutes the major chunk of demand for electroactive polymers, attributed to the presence of large number of prominent players. The North America market for electroactive polymers is projected to occupy a share of 62.3% of the aggregate value held in demand for electroactive polymers, by the end of the forecast period.
The growth of the market is driven by the substantial demand for inherently conductive polymers (ICPs). The North America regional market is trailed by the Europe and Asia Pacific markets. The lack of awareness of the functionalities of electroactive polymers has led to a subdued demand in these regions. This scenario is likely to alter with time as market players explore lucrative avenues in untapped markets across the globe. Global as well as regional players are exploring growing opportunities in several countries of Asia Pacific.

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...
