Description
Shape Memory Alloy Market
The Shape Memory Alloy Market to surpass USD 58.46 billion by 2030 from USD 15.37 billion in 2020 at a CAGR of 14.29% within the coming years, i.e., 2020-30.
Product Overview
Shape memory alloys are often defined as alloys that return to their original shape when deformed. These alloys are lightweight and provide alternatives to traditional actuators such as pneumatic, hydraulic, and motor-based systems. These alloys were first discovered in 1951 and published after the discovery of the nickel-titanium alloy in 1963. The nickel-titanium or nitinol alloy is the most successful of all shape memory alloys. Other shape memory alloys include copper-magnesium, iron-manganese-silicon, and copper-aluminum-nickel alloys. Shape memory alloys have two stable phases: the high-temperature phase called austenite and therefore the low-temperature phase called martensite. The first is symmetrical while the second is less symmetrical. The phase change takes place mechanically or thermally.
Market Highlights
The Shape Memory Alloy Market is predicted to project a notable CAGR of 14.29% in 2030.
Extensive expansion, coupled with increased healthcare spending in the biomedical sector, is likely to add to the demand for Shape Memory Alloy Market.

The Shape Memory Alloy Market is segmented by End-use Industry into Biomedical, Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Consumer Electronics & Home Appliances, Others. The Biomedical Industry Segment is expected to dead the Shape Memory Alloys Market during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is due to the increasing use of shape memory alloys in implantable medical devices due to their properties such as biocompatibility, pseudo-elasticity, and cushioning properties.
Shape Memory Alloy Market: Market Dynamics
Drivers
Increasing adoption of SMEs in aerospace
The increasing acceptance of SMEs in aerospace applications due to their beneficial properties such as high mechanical strength, fatigue resistance, and lightweight is driving the Shape Memory Alloys Market. Shape memory alloy replaces traditional actuator systems used in the aerospace industry. Increased focus on multifunctionality and reliability in the aerospace industry. The aerospace industry is driving the demand for active materials. The temperature sensitivity of SMAs makes them suitable for aerospace applications.
Medical use of shape memory alloy
Shape memory alloy has experienced a great boom in the use of shape memory alloy in the fields of dental, orthopedics, neural, vascular, and surgery also in the medical field, due to its good biocompatibility, excellent MRI. In addition, shows a growing interest at government agencies such as NASA also the expected increase in the use of SMA in the aerospace industry in order to make machines significantly lighter and thus more cost-effective. This shows the expansion of the Shape Memory Alloys Market in the aerospace and aerospace industries in an application unlike anywhere else today, this will certainly drive the Shape Memory Alloys Market in the first place.
Restraints
Heat transfer to the SMA
One of the biggest challenges you will face is the rate of heat transfer to the SMA in the actuator. The rate of heat transfer to the material to bring it to a temperature above which it will undergo its solid phase change is a limiting factor in the reaction time. Even if this challenge were mastered by conducting the heating by passing electricity through the SMA, the cooling rate of the SMA would also be a limiting factor in bringing the actuator back to normal. They require additional systems for heat transfer, which counteracts the reason for using SMA as it would increase material costs, production costs, and the weight of the machines affecting the Shape Memory Alloys Market growth negatively.
Impact of COVID19 on the market for shape memory alloys
The global Shape Memory Alloys Market has been severely affected by the outbreak of the COVID19 pandemic. The cessation of industrial activities influenced the market for shape memory alloys. Consumer sentiment, shop closings, and consumer loss of income. The blockade implemented in several countries hampered national and international transport, which significantly affects the supply chain of numerous industries worldwide and thus widened the gap between supply and demand. Raw materials took longer than usual, which further reduced the production volume. With most countries imposing national closures, countries like India saw a sharp decline in the first quarter.
