Description
Shape memory alloys (SMA) is the material, which displays two different crystal structures or phases. These two phases are dependent on the temperature and internal stress applied to SMA. When SMA is in its lower temperature form, it is easily deformed to a new shape. It is used in various end-use industries such as spacecraft, transport, biomedical, aircraft, construction & housing, electrical appliances, hot water supply, subsea, and others on account of their excellent properties such as high abrasion and corrosion resistance. Nickel-titanium-based SMA is majorly used in various application due to its superior properties.
According to MRFR analysis, the global SMA market is projected to reach USD 11,079.1 million by 2023 at a CAGR of 10.79% over the assessment period. Among the type segment, nickel-titanium is likely to register significant growth during the review period due to high adoption rate in the various end-use application. Nickel-titanium is followed by Cu-Al-Ni due to their durability at elevated temperature. On the basis of the application, superelastic application segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is predicted to retain its dominance over the assessment period. The market is experiencing a surge in the demand for SME from the medical sector in manufacturing of various devices such as guide wires, laparoscopic surgical instruments, implants, stents, retrieval baskets, and bone anchors among others is the primary factor attributed towards the demand for shape memory alloys in superelastic applications. Among the end use industry segment, biomedical accounted for the largest market share. The penetration of shape memory alloys in the development of various medical devices for orthopedics, orthodontics, and coronary stents is estimated to fuel the growth of the market. However, fluctuation in the cost of various raw material required for SMA manufacturing directly affects the final cost of SMA, which is likely to hinder the market growth over the forecast period. North America has dominated as the dominant region in the global shape memory alloys market and holds the maximum market share, in terms of both volume and value. In the North American region, the U.S. has emerged as the largest market for SMA in 2017 and is expected to be the fastest growing SMA market in the region owing to strong demand from the biomedical industry and continuous growth of the numerous end-use industries.
