Electroactive Polymer Market - Global Forecast to 2022: Conductive Plastic, Inherently Conductive Polymer, Inherently Dissipative Polymer - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Electroactive Polymer Market by Type (Conductive Plastic, Inherently Conductive Polymer, Inherently Dissipative Polymer), Application (ESD Protection, EMI Shielding, Actuators, Capacitors, Batteries, Sensors), and Region - Global Forecast to 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering

The electroactive polymers market is estimated at USD 3.51 billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 5.12 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2017 to 2022

The growth of the electroactive polymers market can be attributed to the increasing demand from the ESD protection, EMI shielding, actuators, and other applications across the globe. Electroactive polymers find applications in various end-use industries because of their unique properties. Contrary to conventional materials (metals), electroactive polymers products are lighter in weight, durable, and have better conductive properties. However, environmental non-compliance owing to their improper disposal are identified as restraints to the growth of electroactive polymers market across the globe.

Among types, the inherently conductive polymers market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2017 and 2022. EAPs are cost-effective options for robotics and luminescent applications in comparison to metals and semiconductor materials. These polymers can be modified to get the desired properties, for example, low driving voltage.

This has led to increased demand for fabrication and precision instruments. Countries such as India and China with large populations provide an opportunity for the electroactive polymers market owing to the increased demand for consumer electronics. Moreover, conductive polymers possess properties, such as easy moldability, easy processing, low weight, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility which is attracting many electroactive polymer manufacturing companies.
