Piezoelectric Actuators Market Report 2025

The piezoelectric actuators market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.86 billion in 2024 to $1.99 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The historical growth can be linked to rising demand in robotics, governmental support for sustainable practices, increasing precision needs in surgical and diagnostic tools, growing demand for precision control systems, and expanding applications within the automotive sector.

The piezoelectric actuators market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.58 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. Growth in the forecast period will be driven by increased foreign investments, broader adoption of piezoelectric technology in new applications, miniaturization of electronics, growing consumer acceptance, and expansion in renewable energy solutions. Key trends during this time include integration into medical devices, advancements in actuator technologies, use of eco-friendly materials, automotive sector integration, and ongoing medical device innovations.

The automotive industry’s expansion is expected to significantly drive the piezoelectric actuators market. This industry involves the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sales of motor vehicles. Its growth is fueled by technological advancements that enable faster production and the inclusion of innovative features like automation and lightweight components. Piezoelectric actuators enhance automotive systems such as fuel injection, active suspension, and advanced driver-assistance systems by providing precise control, which boosts both performance and efficiency. For example, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), a Belgium-based organization representing Europe’s automotive interests, global car sales rose to 74.6 million units in 2024, marking a 2.5% increase compared to 2023. Consequently, the automotive sector’s growth is propelling the piezoelectric actuators market forward.

The growth of renewable energy systems is anticipated to further boost the piezoelectric actuators market. Renewable energy systems generate electricity or heat from naturally replenished sources such as solar, wind, hydro, biomass, or geothermal energy. The push for renewable energy stems from the critical need to reduce carbon emissions and tackle climate change. Piezoelectric actuators play a vital role in renewable energy setups by enabling precise control and vibration damping in wind turbines, solar tracking, and energy harvesting devices. For instance, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), a federal agency overseeing national policies on farming and forestry, reported in September 2024 that renewable energy systems were installed on 8% of U.S. farms and ranches (153,101 out of 1.9 million) as of 2022, up from 7% over the past five years. Hence, the rise in renewable energy systems supports the growth of the piezoelectric actuators market.

Leading companies in the piezoelectric actuators market are focusing on creating advanced piezoactuators made from RoHS-compliant lead zirconate titanate (PZT) to enhance environmental sustainability, improve precision, and meet the rising demand for efficient, eco-friendly actuation solutions. These advanced piezoactuators are high-performance devices using refined piezoelectric materials to provide rapid, accurate, and energy-saving motion control for demanding applications. For example, in July 2023, TDK Corporation, a Japan-based manufacturer of electronic components including sensors and actuators, launched two new advanced piezo actuators, COM30S5 (B58004M4030A020) and COM45S5 (B58004M4040A020). These feature RoHS-compliant lead zirconate titanate (PZT) with internal copper electrodes. Available as unhoused, passivated stacks, they allow integration into a variety of high-precision systems. The use of copper electrodes ensures high reliability by preventing issues like silver migration that can occur in humid environments with AgPd electrodes.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp hike in U.S. tariffs and the associated trade disputes in spring 2025 are notably impacting the aerospace and defense sector by raising costs for titanium, carbon fiber composites, and avionics materials largely sourced from global suppliers. Defense contractors, locked into fixed-price government contracts, absorb these added costs, while commercial aerospace firms face airline pushback on higher aircraft prices. Delays in component shipments due to customs bottlenecks further disrupt tight production schedules for jets and satellites. The industry is responding by stockpiling critical materials, seeking waivers for defense-related imports, and collaborating with allied nations to diversify supply chain.

Piezoelectric actuators are devices that utilize the piezoelectric effect to transform electrical energy into highly precise mechanical movement. When voltage is applied to piezoelectric materials, such as specific ceramics, they undergo slight deformation, generating either linear or angular displacement.

The main categories of piezoelectric actuators include multilayer actuators, multilayer chip actuators, bulk stacked actuators, shear actuators, amplified actuators, and benders. Multilayer actuators consist of numerous thin layers of piezoelectric material stacked together, allowing for increased displacement and force output at lower voltages. These actuators operate based on technologies like the direct piezoelectric effect, inverse piezoelectric effect, and piezoelectric composites. Their applications span valves, print heads, positioners, optical instruments, scientific instruments, and more. Key sectors utilizing these actuators include industrial automation, healthcare, telecommunications, and defense.
