The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a temporary halt in production and manufacturing activities that has resulted in supply chain disruption, resulting in an impact on the self-healing materials market. However, in an endeavor to restore normalcy, the government is rolling out laws and expanding investment scales in order to resurrect demand and allow market participants to produce correspondingly.
Market Segmentation
Insight by Form
Based on form, the global self-healing material market is divided into extrinsic and intrinsic. The extrinsic are sub-divided into capsule-based and vascular. The extrinsic self-healing materials category accounts for the majority of the market for self-healing materials. The unique combination of properties makes it helpful in a wide range of industries, which is the primary driver of the market for self-healing materials. It enables the restoration of material functionalities such as material damage/cracking and others in a simple and fluid manner.
Insight by Material Type
Concrete, coatings, polymers, asphalt, fiber-reinforced composite, ceramics, and metals are the material types that make up the global self-healing material market. The polymer segment dominates the self-healing material market owing to its property to heal on its own without any intervention when it suffers damage.
The concrete segment is expected to rise at a high CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the product's strength and durability, as well as its widespread use in essential applications in the building and construction industry, which is driving up demand for self-healing concrete in the market. Moreover, the increasing demand from the building & construction industry in Europe & Asia-Pacific will propel the demand for the concrete segment in the self-healing materials market.
Insight by Technology
Based on technology, the global self-healing materials market is segmented into reversible polymers & elastomers, microencapsulation, shape-memory materials, biological material systems, and others. The reversible polymers hold the largest share in the market owing to the enhanced rebinding properties of reversible polymers and elastomers. The rise in demand for reversible polymers and elastomers technology is being fueled by an increase in demand from the medical/healthcare sector due to an expansion in the scope of applications. The biological material systems are anticipated to witness a high CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rising geriatric population demanding biological self-healing material, resulting in the growth of the market.
Insight by Application
Based on application, the global self-healing materials market is divided into energy generation, building & construction, automotive & transportation, electronics & semiconductors, medical, and others. The building & construction segment dominates the self-healing material market during the forecast period owing to its increased adoption of such materials in non-residential construction as it has the ability to repair early-stage damage, which if unimpeded, will lead to material failure. The increased adoption of self-healing materials in the automotive industry will accelerate growth at a faster pace during the forecast period. Anti-scratch polyurethane coatings based on self-healing elastomers for automobile bodies are among the uses in the automotive sector.
