Shape Memory Alloys Global Market Growth by Industry Size, Share, Revenue Covid – 19 Impact Analysis and Forecast Up to 2023

Synopsis of Shape Memory Alloys

Shape memory alloys (SMA) are also known as smart materials, which remember their original shape by heating after shape deformations. SMA belong to a unique class of materials that possesses superior thermo-mechanical properties with high corrosion resistance. Thus, they are widely used in numerous end-use industries such as aircraft, transport, biomedical, spacecraft, electrical appliances, subsea, construction & housing, and others. SMA include nickel-titanium, Cu-Al-Ni, Cu-Zn-Al, and others. The commonly used shape memory material is an alloy of nickel and titanium called Nitinol. Nitinol is available in the form of rods, wires, thin films, and bar stocks.

As per MRFR’s analysis, some of the factors and trends identified in the global shape memory alloys market include constantly growing healthcare industry, rising usage of SMA for neurology and neuromuscular rehabilitation, and widening biomedical application scope of SMA in orthopedic, cardiovascular and in surgical instruments. Furthermore, in the recent years, the healthcare industry has focused on the concept of less invasive surgical procedures. Therefore, shape memory surgical instruments been have developed, which rapidly become popular. Moreover, the development of laparoscopy tools and intra-aortic balloon pump with SMA along with rising expenditure on healthcare in emerging economies are projected to fuel the market growth over the estimated period. Rising technological advancements along with the growing use of SMA in the manufacture of aerospace parts is likely to drive the market over the assessment period, 2017-2023. However, higher cost associated with the SMA on account of fluctuating price of raw materials is estimated to hamper the growth of the market.

Global shape memory market is estimated to reach USD 11,079.1 million by 2023 at healthy a CAGR of 10.79% over the assessment period, 2017-2023.
