Global Electroactive Polymer Market Research Report 2019 (Includes Business Impact of COVID-19)

                                          
"The ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is re-shaping everything from global economies to product categories, pricing, and stock availability to the consumer behavior. The final report is updated to address the impact of COVID-19 on the Electroactive Polymer market.

Trusted Business Insights is tracking mining/oil and gas, transportation, employment services, travel arrangements, and the leisure and hospitality sector closely as they are likely to be the hardest-hit sectors. Utilities, local pharma, diagnostics, consumer goods and durables, agro chem and fertilizers, and telecommunications are the sectors that will be weathering the COVID-19 storm and most likely come out relatively unscathed. Interdependencies of sectors are factored in our research report on the Electroactive Polymer market."
Contrary to conventional materials (metals), EAP products are lighter in weight, durable, and have better conductive properties. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the electroactive polymer market during the forecast period.
Among types, the inherently conductive polymers market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Inherentlyconductive polymers include materials, such as polythiophenes, polyanilines, polypyrroles, and polyacetylenes. ICPs are soluble, low-cost organic polymers which have electrical properties like other conductive metals and semiconductors. ICPs are a kind of ionic electroactive polymers which alter shape by motion or diffusion of ions and their conjugated substance. The high demand globally can be attributed to the extensive R&D activities being undertaken in key countries, such as the US, Canada, and Mexico on various potential applications of inherently conductive polymers. The demand for inherently conductive polymers in robotics, artificial muscles, actuators & sensors in the medical, energy harvesting, and electrical & electronics industries is the highest and is expected to drive the EAPs market during the forecast period.

The global Electroactive Polymer market is valued at xx million US$ in 2018 is expected to reach xx million US$ by the end of 2025, growing at a CAGR of 7.6% during 2019-2025.
