概要

スマートマテリアルの世界市場規模は、2024年に635億8,000万米ドルとなりました。今後、IMARC Groupは、同市場が2033年までに1,421億2,000万米ドルに達し、2025年から2033年にかけて8.88%のCAGRを示すと予測しています。現在、北米が市場を独占しており、2024年には33.7%を超える大きな市場シェアを占めています。この市場を牽引しているのは、エネルギー効率、ヘルスケア革新、家電製品、持続可能性への取り組みにおける進歩であり、研究や高度な製造技術への投資の増加でもあります。

いくつかの産業で化学製品の使用が増加していることに加え、従業員の間で職場の安全や危険な状況からの保護に対する意識が高まっていることが、防護服におけるスマートマテリアルの採用を促進する主な要因の1つとなっています。これとは別に、ガンの標的化、ドラッグデリバリーの制御、組織工学、バイオセンサーなど数多くの生物医学用途において、効果的で局所的な、必要性に応じたシステムに対する需要の高まりが、市場の成長を刺激しています。米国国立がん研究所によると、2022年には世界で約2,000万人の新規がん患者と970万人のがん関連死が報告されました。この背景には、慢性疾患や外傷の増加、再生医療や個別化治療のニーズの高まりがあります。WHOの報告によると、70歳までに1,700万人が慢性疾患で早期死亡しており、その86%が低・中所得国です。さらに、エネルギー効率の高い建材に対する需要が台頭しているため、スマートマテリアルのは従来の建材と組み合わされ、風、熱、雨などの大気条件に適応する構造物を構築しています。

米国は北米で93.00%のシェアを持つ主要な市場破壊者です。これは、家電業界がスマートマテリアルのを取り入れることで大きな進歩を遂げたためです。米国では、スマートホーム製品を使用したことのある消費者の81%が、スマート技術がすでに導入されている住宅を購入する可能性が高いと回答しています。また、持続可能性への取り組みも、同国のスマートマテリアルの市場に大きな影響を与えています。建物はエネルギー消費のかなりの部分を占めており、住宅部門だけでエネルギー消費全体の約21%を占めています。また、インフラの寿命を延ばし、メンテナンスコストを削減する自己修復コンクリートのようなスマートマテリアルのを採用する産業も増えています。

スマートマテリアルの市場動向:

エネルギー効率に対する需要の高まり

エネルギー効率は、産業界全体で中心的な焦点となりつつあり、スマートマテリアルのはこの目標を達成するために重要な役割を果たしています。圧電セラミックスやサーモクロミックガラスのようなこれらの材料は、環境条件に適応し、システムをより効率的にします。例えば、スマート・ウィンドウを使用した建物は、太陽光の強さに反応して室内温度を調節し、冷暖房システムへの依存を減らすことができます。これはエネルギーコストを下げるだけでなく、世界の持続可能性目標の達成にも役立ちます。そのため、スマート窓市場は年率12.7%で急成長しています。また、2032年には38億8,000万米ドルに達すると言われています。自動車や航空宇宙などの分野では、軽量化スマートマテリアルのは自動車の総重量を減らすことで燃費の向上に貢献します。

ヘルスケアにおける用途の拡大

ヘルスケアの革新は、高度な医療機器、インプラント、ドラッグデリバリーシステムの開発において、スマートマテリアルのへの依存度を高めています。例えば、形状記憶合金は、患者の動脈内で一旦拡張するステントに使用されています。同様に、生体活性ガラスは骨組織の修復と再生を助ける。スマート・ポリマーは、特定の生理的トリガーに反応して標的薬物を放出できる、もうひとつの画期的な素材です。これらの材料は、精度を高め、回復時間を短縮することで、患者の転帰を改善します。世界の人口が高齢化し、ヘルスケア・システムが最先端のソリューションを求める中、医療技術におけるスマートマテリアルの需要は著しい成長を遂げています。2024年までに、WHO欧州地域では65歳以上の人口が15歳未満の人口を上回ると言われており、スマートマテリアルの使用が急速に増加しています。

コンシューマーエレクトロニクスの普及

コンシューマーエレクトロニクスはますます進化しており、スマートマテリアルのは多くのイノベーションの中核を担っています。スマートポリマー製のフレキシブルディスプレイは、折りたたみ可能なスマートフォンやタブレットの開発を可能にしています。圧電材料はエネルギーハーベスティングのためにデバイスに組み込まれ、ウェアラブルが体の動きを利用して充電できるようになっています。さらに、電気活性ポリマーは触覚フィードバックシステムにも応用され、ユーザーにより没入感のある体験を提供しています。よりスマートで、より軽く、より耐久性のあるデバイスを求める消費者が増えるにつれ、電子機器におけるスマートマテリアルの使用は増加の一途をたどっています。拡張現実(AR)、仮想現実(VR)、ウェアラブル技術における新たな発売により、この動向は今後も市場を形成し続けると予想されます。
