North America Market to Dominate in Applications of Electroactive Polymers

Regionally, the global electroactive polymers market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. Of these, current North America dominates the global market and is projected to remain so throughout the forecast period. The U.S constitutes the major chunk of demand for electroactive polymers, attributed to the presence of large number of prominent players. The North America market for electroactive polymers is projected to occupy a share of 62.3% of the aggregate value held in demand for electroactive polymers, by the end of the forecast period.

The growth of the market is driven by the substantial demand for inherently conductive polymers (ICPs). The North America regional market is trailed by the Europe and Asia Pacific markets. The lack of awareness of the functionalities of electroactive polymers has led to a subdued demand in these regions. This scenario is likely to alter with time as market players explore lucrative avenues in untapped markets across the globe. Global as well as regional players are exploring growing opportunities in several countries of Asia Pacific.
