Competitive vendor landscape

According to the research analysis, the global piezoelectric smart materials market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 13% during the forecast period. The piezoelectric smart materials market is concentrated with the presence of a few major players. There are many emerging start-up organizations, but the market is dominated by the key players only.

“The competition comes mostly from the companies based in North America. This is because of the growing technological advances in products and their competitive prices in that region. These companies invest heavily in R&D which has helped them to survive in the market and gain popularity with time. The increasing number of startups can be a competition for the key players if they invest more in R&D and develop more innovative products than those of the existing key players,” says Mohd Shakeel Iqbal, a lead specialty chemicals analyst from Technavio.

The report also states that the growth of the market can be attributed to the increased demand for applications like deterrents, motors, object detectors, and security alarms from regions such as the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In 2016, the Americas dominated the market with a market share of more than 47%, followed by EMEA and APAC.
