Global Self-healing Materials Market - Segmented by Type, Application, and Region - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2022 - 2030)

The global self-healing material market is expected grow at a significant rate during the forecast period, majorly driven by the increasing application in end-user industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and healthcare. Self-healing materials can be defined as the materials that can heal automatically or with external pressure or heat. They increase the lifespan of construction (and other) materials that are otherwise prone to severe damage due to cracks. These materials arrest the developed cracks and prevent further expansion, thereby minimizing damage.

Increasing Application of Self-healing Materials Driving the Market

Self-healing materials can heal automatically as a response to damage. These materials contribute significantly to the safety and durability of components. There is a growing focus on increasing the lifetime of various materials by arresting crack propagation at an early stage and preventing further damage. In such cases, self-healing materials help in increasing the lifetime of materials used in various industries. Given these added advantages, self-healing materials have created new markets and have explored applications in various fields. The market for self-healing materials has been majorly driven by increasing applications in the automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and electronics industries. The rising demand for anti-scratch coatings in automobiles has widened the market for self-healing materials.

Self-Healing Polymers are the Dominating Type

Self-healing polymer materials improve the functioning of various products while contributing to the extension of its life cycle. The polymer mimics biological healing and repairs itself when it gets damaged, without the need for any external form of intervention for detection or repair. Self-healing polymer materials are vastly used in the automotive industry as a protective layer to prevent the vehicle from scratches and nicks. In the construction industry, it is used in concrete to provide strength and increase the lifespan of buildings, bridges, etc. and in the electronics industry, it is used in screens and panels to prevent it from scratches.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Self-healing Materials Market

Asia-Pacific has a huge opportunity, both as a producer and consumer of self-healing materials globally. The region is also projected to be the fastest growing market for self-healing products in the forecast period, owing to growing investments made by major market players in various industries. The consumption of self-healing materials in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow drastically, owing to the increasing lifespan, durability, safety, efficiency, and performance. Countries like China and India are the leading markets in this region due to the demand in the automotive, electronics, construction, and healthcare industries.

Major Players: Autonomic Materials Inc., Goodyear, and NEI Corporation, amongst others.
