Shape Memory Alloys Market Outlook 2030

The global Shape Memory Alloys market was valued at $9.2 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $19.5 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2021 to 2030.

Shape memory alloys can be deformed and then restored to its original shape by applying heat. When shape memory alloys are cooled from their stronger, high-temperature form (austenite) to their weaker, low-temperature form (martensite), their crystal structure undergoes a phase shift (martensite). Special features of these alloys, such as shape memory and super elasticity are due to their inherent phase change. When a shape memory alloy is in the martensitic state, it is very easy to deform into a new shape. When heated to its transformation temperatures, alloy reverts and regains its previous shape with significant force. This transformation process is known as shape memory. Heat treatment and minor changes in alloy composition can be used to adjust the temperature at which the alloy remembers its austenite form when heated. Shape recovery process takes place over a small range of degrees and beginning or completion of transformation can be regulated within a degree or two, if needed.

Shape-Memory-Alloys-Market

Rise in demand for shape memory alloys (SMA) in the manufacturing of biomedical devices and surgical tools, aircraft components, and engineering & manufacturing actuators, and consumer electronics is the major driving factor for the shape memory alloys market. The market growth can also be attributed to rise in demand for high-quality life-saving medical devices as well as improved automotive and aerospace components. Physical properties of SMA promote their use in a variety of end-use industries. High cost of medical implants, which is the most common application of SMAs in the biomedical industry, is, however, a major hindrance for the market growth.
