Electroactive Polymers Market Drivers
Increasing Automotive Production
In the automotive industry, electroactive polymers are used as actuators and sensors. For materials that are light in weight but strong and durable such as an electroactive polymer, there is high demand. By using modern electroactive polymers in numerous automotive electronic components, such as multiple sensors, accelerometers, and accelerator pedal modules, car manufacturers are attempting to achieve lightweight properties. China is the world's largest vehicle market, according to the International Trade Administration (ITA), and the Chinese government expects the production of cars to reach 35 million by 2025. According to the International Trade Administration (ITA), in 2019 the Mexican market for electric, plug-in vehicles, and hybrid vehicles reached 25,608 units, representing a 43.8% growth over 2018. Thus, increasing automation production will require more electroactive polymers for manufacturing various automotive components, which will act as a driver for the electroactive polymers market during the forecast period.
Increasing Application of Electroactive Polymers
Textiles called sensing and actuating microfibers can be directly woven into electromechanical systems such as sensors, actuators, electronics, and power sources. They can be used as smart fabrics because of the flexibility and low cost of electroactive polymers. In developing intelligent fabrics, polypyrrole and polyaniline are used. In addition, using electroactive polymers in robotics for muscle development is better, as it is more cost-effective than the semiconductor and metal materials. And robotics is widely used; hence the demand for electroactive polymers will also positively affect the market growth. Furthermore, electroactive polymers market growth is increasing owing to its wide usage in areas such as medical devices, damped harmonic oscillator, electric displacement field, electrostatic discharge/electromagnetic interference, high-strain sensors, and biomimetic. Hence, the increasing application of electroactive polymers acts as a driver for the electroactive polymers market.

Electroactive Polymers Market Challenges
Environmental Hazards Related to the Electroactive Polymers
Raw materials which are used to produce electroactive polymers (EAPs) are difficult to extract and often harmful to the environment. The disposal of waste generated by electroactive polymers is one of the major concerns (EAPs). Improper disposal of EAP products could harm the environment and ultimately impact the food chain. Manufacturers of EAPs may experience increased costs associated with the disposal of certain electroactive polymers (EAPs) that cannot be disposed of by biodegradation. The government has, therefore, enforced strict regulations on the use of such polymers. Besides, the environmental regulations on the use of petroleum products restrict the growth of the EAPs market. These factors are hampering the electroactive polymer market growth.
Electroactive Polymers Market Landscape
Technology launches, acquisitions, and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the electroactive polymers market. Major players in the electroactive polymers market are Solvay, Parker Hannifin, Agfa-Gevaert, 3M, Merck, Lubrizol, Novasentis, Premix, PolyOne Corporation, Celanese Corporation, and KEMET Corporation.
Key Takeaways
Asia-Pacific dominates the electroactive polymers market, owing to the increasing demand for the electroactive polymers industry in the region. The increasing urbanization coupled with the rising population in APAC is the major factor driving the demand for electroactive polymers.
Electroactive polymers are extensively used for corrosion-preventing coatings in ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, actuators, damped harmonic oscillator, metamorphic biomaterials, and protective fabrics points. These properties of electroactive polymers are projected to increase market growth.
Electroactive polymers due to its unique properties find application in different end-use industries. These are lighter in weight, more durable, and have better conductive properties, unlike conventional materials (metals). During the forecast period, this factor is anticipated to drive the market.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, most of the countries have gone under lockdown, due to which the projects and operations of various industries such as energy generation and automotive are disruptively stopped, which is hampering the electroactive polymers market growth.
