Global Smart Polymers Market is valued approximately USD 1148.8 million in 2019 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 21.90 % over the forecast period 2020-2027. Smart Polymer is a subject of great interest for industrial and institutional research. Properties of these polymers such as permeability, shape, electrical & mechanical properties changes in response to small variation in environmental conditions. Also, these polymers are widely used in biotechnology and biomedical application such as tissue engineering, drug delivery and cell culture support. Also, they are sensitive to various environmental stimulus such as electric field, pH magnetic field, chemical agents, temperature, enzymes, biomolecules and also possess the ability to recover at their initial state at the culmination of the stimulus. Also, the key players are focusing on strategies such as product launch, innovation and merger & acquisition to sustain themselves amidst fierce competition. The growth of the smart polymers market is attributed owing to the innovative use of smart polymers in automotive industry along with rising applications in various end-user sectors. However, high cost associated with the use of smart polymers is hampering the growth of the market during the forecast period of 2020-2027.
