The key players operating in the electroactive polymers market are Solvay (Belgium), Parker Hannifin (US) Agfa-Gevaert (Belgium), 3M (US), Merck (Germany), Lubrizol (US), Novasentis (US), Premix (Finland), and PolyOne Corporation (US), among others.

The actuator application is projected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2017 and 2022

The Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection application accounted for the largest share of the electroactive polymers market in 2016. Electroactive polymers are used in various applications, ranging from sensors and actuators for electronic appliances to artificial muscles and motion generating devices. These are steadily replacing traditional polymers as well as metals owing to the unique electrically conductive characteristics. ESD and EMI are the major applications of electroactive polymers. Other applications of electroactive polymers include capacitors, sensors, actuators, batteries, and others. Increased demand from ESD protection, EMI shielding, and actuator applications is expected to supplement the growth of electroactive polymers during the forecast period.

The Asia Pacific electroactive polymers market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Based on region, the electroactive polymers market has been segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Western Europe, Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa and South America. The Asia Pacific electroactive polymers market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of the Asia Pacific electroactive polymers market can be attributed to the growing demand for ESD protection and EMI shielding applications. The region is witnessing the highest growth due to rapid economic expansion, especially in China and India. Rapid industrialization in this region plays an important role in fueling the demand for electroactive polymers in ESD and EMI protection, consumer electronics, and paints & coatings applications. In this region, the demand as well as manufacture of consumer electronics has increased significantly and is expected to drive the need for electroactive polymers in the near future. The Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region of the electroactive polymers market as it is expected to witness heavy investments in R&D, and rapid technological advancements, especially in the electronics industry. Moreover, increase in manufacturing activities combined with the region’s emergence as a cost-effective production hub is expected to drive the electroactive polymers market. These factors are propelling the demand for electroactive polymers in the region.

Solvay (Belgium), and Merck (Germany) are other major players in the electroactive polymers market. For instance, in January 2016, Solvay completed acquisition of the Ryton PPS (Polyphenylene Sulphide) business from Chevron Phillips Chemical Limited (US). Solvay has bought 2 Ryton PPS resin manufacturing units in Borger, Texas. The acquisition is a part of Solvay’s strategic development into a more specialized solution provider.

In November 2015, Merck (Germany) acquired Sigma-Aldrich (US), which has provided Merck the capability of serving life science clients worldwide through this acquisition with a competent set of products. This acquisition also enhanced the position of the company in the electroactive polymers market.
