形狀記憶材料市場-2024年至2029年預測Shape Memory Materials Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
形狀記憶材料市場預計在預測期內(2024-2029年)將以10.78%的複合年成長率(CAGR)成長。
形狀記憶材料可用於多個最終用戶行業。記憶材料在適當的刺激下扭曲後可以恢復原來的形狀。材料在扭曲後恢復原始形狀的能力稱為形狀記憶效應(SME)。在某些條件下,這些材料也通常觀察到超彈性或黏彈性。這些材料特性使其在需要高壓和耐用性的情況下非常有用。形狀記憶材料市場成長的主要驅動力是航太、建築施工以及汽車領域不斷成長的需求。此外,這些材料在醫療保健領域的創新應用也推動了市場的發展。
其中一種材質是鎳鈦諾,一種形狀記憶合金。該材料具有超彈性,超越了傳統材料的性能,使工程師能夠在各種溫度和條件下工作,並且採用極其堅固和輕質的材料。
建築和施工中的結構挑戰之一是開發能夠抵禦地震、洪水和颶風等自然災害的結構。這些結構在任何情況下都不得崩壞。形狀記憶不僅用於建築,還用於多年磨損後的修復和加固。這些材料需要超彈性才能在兩個方向上移動。它可以以多種方式用於防止變形或用於建築目的。
2022年美國建築支出將為228,081.4億美元,2023年將增加至242,603.41億美元。這種成長解釋了該行業的動態。建築需求不僅會增加就業機會,還會增加該行業原料的整體需求。由於即將到來的形狀記憶材料的創新和基於解決方案的應用,需求可能會增加。
航太和航空工程零件和機構非常複雜,需要先進的應用。因此,形狀記憶材料形成了用於機翼和飛行的可變形結構。 Nimesis 就是其中之一,該公司向衛星運載火箭和設備製造商供應形狀記憶合金。我們提供超彈性、形狀記憶、高溫合金和低溫合金材料,並且有多種形狀可供選擇。常見的形狀記憶合金包括 CuAlNi、NiTi、CuAlBe、NiTiCo、NiTiHf、NiTiCu 和 NiTiNb。
此外,由於形狀記憶材料的重量比低,其使用量正在增加,並且可以輕鬆降低燃料消費量,並在相當程度上節省成本。隨著航空業的發展和航空運輸量的逐年增加,對飛機改裝及相關維修零件的需求可能會增加,導致對形狀記憶材料的需求增加。
此外,隨著無人機在方面應用的需求不斷成長,特別是在國防領域,無人機(UAV)專門為長時間飛行而設計,並具有適合該領域應用的形狀,考慮到儲存材料,對這些材料的需求可能會成長。
形狀記憶材料在紡織和時尚產業中的應用越來越廣泛,因為它們在受到熱、光、紅外線輻射、浸入水中、電場或磁場的刺激時會改變形狀。諸如熱塑性線之類的材料具有當溫度變化時改變形狀的特性。溫度低時會變硬。當它變熱時它會變軟。它可以相應地製成軟性或剛性的。該材料的性能預計將吸引尋求嘗試新材料的時尚愛好者的注意。
此外,2024 年 6 月,Shape Memory Medical Inc. 開發了一種用於血管內使用的可自訂形狀記憶聚合物。該公司使用專有的新型形狀記憶聚合物,它是一種多孔、滲透性透的栓塞支架,可捲曲用於導管輸送,並在與血液接觸時自行膨脹。該公司宣布已治療 AAA-SHAPE Pivotal 試驗中的第一位患者。這表明形狀記憶材料在醫療保健領域的應用不斷擴大,並為形狀記憶材料在醫療保健中不斷發展的作用提供了視角。
該地區的國家包括中國、日本、印度和韓國。這些國家擁有該地區和世界上一些最大的經濟體。印度等新興經濟體在航空、航空工業等各領域都展現出強烈的需求與發展。
在印度,營運商增加了 112 架飛機,到 2023 年 12 月,飛機總合達到 771 架。這款新飛機的引進符合該國空中交通量和航空需求的持續成長。據波音印度公司稱,到 2042 年,印度對單通道民航機的需求預計將達到 2,320 架。這一數字表明,航空業對形狀記憶材料的相對需求與這種不斷成長的需求是一致的。
此外,根據國際能源總署(IEA)的數據,中國已成為最大的電動車消費國和全球電動車市場擴張中心。中國在製造業中佔有很大的國際佔有率。因此,對形狀記憶材料等原料的需求不斷增加。形狀記憶材料在醫療設備的製造上有許多應用。因此,作為全球最大的醫療設備生產國之一,中國對形狀記憶材料的需求可能會增加。
The shape memory materials market is anticipated to grow at a compound annual (CAGR) of 10.78% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Shape memory materials are useful in multiple end-user industries. The memory materials could regain their original shape after distortion under the right stimulus. The property of returning to their original shape after distortion is known as the shape memory effect (SME). Superelasticity or visco-elasticity is also commonly observed under certain conditions for these materials. These material properties are useful applications in places where high pressure and durability are required. The major driving factors behind the shape memory materials market's growth are increasing demand from the fields of aerospace and aeronautics, the building and construction industry, and the automotive sector. The innovative application of these materials in the healthcare sector also drives the market.
One such material is Nitinol, which is a shape memory alloy. The material is superelastic, which is more than the traditional materials' performance, and provides engineers with an extremely tough, lightweight material capability that could be functional across a wide range of temperatures and conditions.
One of the structural challenges of building and construction lies in developing a structure that can withstand natural calamities like earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes. These structures must not collapse under any circumstances. Shape memory is used not only for construction but also for repair and reinforcement after years of wear and damage. These materials are required for superelasticity under movement in both directions. They could be used in different ways to prevent deformations or construction.
In 2022, construction spending in the United States was US$22,808,140 million and became US$24,260,341 million in 2023. This growth explains the dynamics of the industry. The demand for construction would not only increase employability but also the overall demand for raw materials in the sector. With the upcoming innovative and solution-based application of shape memory materials, the demand will likely increase.
The components and mechanisms in aerospace and aeronautics are complex and sophisticated in application. Thus, shape-memory materials shape the wings or the morphed structure for flying. One such company is Nimesis, which provides shape-memory alloys for satellite launchers and their equipment manufacturers. They provide material with superelasticity, shape memory, high-temperature alloys, and very low-temperature alloys and are available in different forms. Common shape memory alloys offered are CuAlNi, NiTi, CuAlBe, NiTiCo, NiTiHf, NiTiCu, and NiTiNb, among others.
Moreover, the use of shape memory materials has been increasing due to their low weight ratio, which can easily reduce fuel consumption and save costs to a significant level. The growing aviation sector and increasing air traffic every year could help to grow the demand for aircraft and their related maintenance parts for changes, which would increase the demand for shape memory materials.
Furthermore, the growing demand for drones in multiple aspects of the application, especially in the defense sector, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are specially designed for long flight hours, considering the shape memory materials used in the proper application in the field, the demand for these materials would grow.
Shape memory materials have been a growing application in the textile and fashion industry due to their shape-changing behavior due to stimuli like heat, light, infrared radiation, submersion in water, and electric or magnetic fields. Material such as thermo-formable yarn has a shape-changing property when there is a temperature change. It hardens when the temperature is lower. It becomes soft when applied to high temperatures. It can be made flexible and rigid accordingly. This behavior of the material is likely to drive the attention of fashion enthusiasts, who are trying to experiment with the new materials.
Moreover, Shape Memory Medical Inc. developed customizable shape memory polymers for endovascular applications in June 2024. It uses a novel-shaped memory polymer, a proprietary, porous, radiolucent, and embolic scaffold that is crimped for catheter delivery and self-expands upon contact with blood. They announced the first patient treated in the AAA-SHAPE Pivotal Trial. This showcased the growing use of shape memory materials in the healthcare sector and put perspective into the evolving role of shape memory materials in healthcare.
The region has countries like China, Japan, India, and South Korea. These countries have the largest economies in the region and the world. Developing economies like India are showing robust demand and development in various sectors, such as aeronautics and the aviation industry.
In India, operators added 112 aircraft, a total of 771 aircraft by December 2023. This induction of the new aircraft is in line with maintaining the increased air traffic and growing demand for air traffic in the country. According to Boeing India, the estimated demand for the single-aisle commercial airplane in India would be 2,320 by 2042. These figures suggest the relative demand for shape memory materials in the aviation industry to meet this growing demand.
Furthermore, China has become the global center for expanding the electric vehicle market by becoming the largest consumer of electric vehicles, according to the IEA (International Energy Agency). China has a significant international share in the manufacturing sector. Thus drawing demand for the raw materials used, such as shape memory materials. The application of shape memory materials has been tremendous in the manufacturing of medical devices. Thus, the demand for shape memory materials would increase in China, being the world's one of the largest producers of healthcare devices.
