Self-healing Materials Market: Industry Insights By Application and Technology

[sara James]

The global Self-Healing Materials Market size is expected to reach USD 9.9 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 25.5% from 2022 to 2030. Rising demand for high-quality construction materials due to increased infrastructure projects and urbanization is projected to steer the market growth in the near future. Self-healing materials are smart materials that have the ability to repair damages on their own caused due to their mechanical friction and with the efflux of time.

Post injury, the molecules of these materials re-adjust to replicate the original material. Initiation of cracks and other types of damage on the microscopic level change the electrical, thermal and acoustical properties of material leading to its complete failure. These materials correct these damages with or without human intervention. These specialty products also extend the life span of the materials as well as the base layer or product on which they are applied. Microencapsulated or nanoencapsulated healing agents are present in capsulated constituents, which are released upon rupture. The growth of the market is expected to escalate due to unique properties of the products yielding long-term financial benefits as compared to conventional composites.
