Smart
Polymers Market: Introduction
The
global smart polymers market was valued at US$ 6.53 Bn in
2019 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 14% during the forecast
period. In terms of type, the physical stimuli segment accounted for the major
share of the global smart polymers market in 2019. The increase in demand for
polymers that are highly sensitive to change in temperature, electric
potential, ultrasound, UV radiation, and magnetic field is a major factor
driving the physical stimuli segment of the global smart polymers market. In
terms of application, the biomedical & biotechnology segment held a
significant share of the global smart polymers market in 2019. Technological
innovation in the biomedical field is a prominent factor driving the biomedical
& biotechnology segment of the global smart polymers market.
Major
Drivers of Smart Polymers Market
The
demand for novel drug delivery systems has been increasing significantly due to
the prohibitive cost of developing new drug entities, expiration of existing
international patents, discovery of new polymeric materials suitable for
prolonging the drug release, and improvement in therapeutic efficiency.
Traditionally, drugs have been encapsulated using lactic acid polymers.
However, of late, lattice-like matrices have been employed to hold the drug of
interest by integrating or trapping it between polymer strands. Smart polymers
are gaining traction in drug delivery systems due to modulated or pulsating
drug release pattern to mimic the biological demand. These operate fully
automatically, without the need of additional sensors, transducers, switches,
or pumps.

Smart
polymers are inexpensive, reduce dosing frequency, lower side effects, and
provide improved stability. These properties of smart polymers are boosting
their adoption in drug delivery systems. Thus, increase in demand for novel
drug delivery system is likely to create opportunities for the global smart
polymers market during the forecast period.
Key
Partnerships and Contracts in Smart Polymers Market
In
August 2020, BASF SE announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire
Solvay’s polyamide business. The acquisition of Solvay’s polyamide business is
estimated to enable BASF to enhance its R&D capabilities in Asia Pacific
with new technologies, technical expertise, and upgraded material and part
testing services. BASF SE plans to integrate the R&D centers from Solvay
into its existing R&D facilities in Shanghai, China, and Seoul, South
Korea. Enhanced capabilities are anticipated to consolidate BASF SE’s position
as a solution provider to develop advanced material solutions for key
industries.
