Smart polymers are materials that undergo significant chemical and physical changes in response to exterior impulses such as pH, temperature, magnetic field, light, or mechanical stress. These responsive polymers find extensive applications across various end-use industries, including biomedical and healthcare, automotive, aerospace, textile, electronics, construction, and packaging. The increasing use of smart polymers in biomedical applications, including drug delivery and tissue engineering medical device manufacturing, significantly bolsters the adoption of smart polymers. The unique properties of smart polymers make them suitable for consumer electronics applications such as flexible displays and wearable devices. Growing demand for smart polymeric films for food packaging is increasing the market growth. Despite its considerable growth prospects, certain limitations impede the growth of the smart polymer market, including high production costs associated with complex synthesis processes. Toxicity and production scalability issues with smart polymers can hinder the wider adoption of these materials. However, continuous advancements in the development of novel smart polymers create lucrative opportunities for the market. The potential use of smart polymers in waste management by enabling efficient sorting through color-changing properties presents opportunities for expansion in the environmental sector.
