The Asia Pacific electroactive polymers market is a highly fragmented market with the presence of considerable regional and local players providing numerous solutions for companies investing in the market arena. The economy of Australia is known as a highly developed market economy. The Australian economy is mainly dominated by its service sector, comprising 62.7% of the GDP and also employing 78.8% of the labor force in 2017. However, medical, automotive, consumer electronics, construction & manufacturing, mining, oil & gas, and other industries are also contributing to the nation’s GDP. These industries are the major user of electroactive polymers in their electronic system and influencing the market growth. The range of Chinese goods includes iron, steel, aluminum, textiles, cement, chemicals, toys, electronics, rail cars, ships, aircraft, and many other products. All these industries are using a wide range of electroactive polymers in their products and contributing to the growth of the electroactive polymers market. Rising awareness about the benefits offered by the electroactive polymers, a growing safety concern for the electronic system, and multi-functional usage of electroactive polymers in the manufacturing, consumer electronics, aircraft manufacturing, industrial sector, and others are acting as a major driver for the Japanese market. The growing population is further propelling the demands of electronics, automobiles, and electric vehicles, transportation, and others, which in turn lead to the electroactive polymers market growth in India.
Asia Pacific, especially India, witnessed an unprecedented rise in number of COVID-19 cases, which led to the discontinuation of electroactive polymers manufacturing activities; other chemical and materials manufacturing sector has subsequently impacted the demand for electroactive polymers during the early months of 2020. Moreover, decline in the overall manufacturing activities has led to discontinuation of electroactive polymers components manufacturing projects, thereby reducing the demand for electroactive polymers. Similar trend was witnessed in other Asia Pacific countries such as Australia, Japan, and China. However, the countries are likely to overcome this drop in demand with the economic activities regaining their pace, especially in the beginning of 2021.

The geographic scope of the Asia Pacific Electroactive Polymers refers to the specific areas in which a business operates and competes. Understanding local distinctions, such as diverse consumer preferences (e.g., demand for specific plug types or battery backup durations), varying economic conditions, and regulatory environments, is crucial for tailoring strategies to specific markets. Businesses can expand their reach by identifying underserved areas or adapting their offerings to meet local demands. A clear market focus allows for more effective resource allocation, targeted marketing campaigns, and better positioning against local competitors, ultimately driving growth in those targeted areas.
The electroactive polymers market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow from US$ 462.91 million in 2019 to US$ 741.70 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2020 to 2027. The field of biomimetics presents lucrative applications for electroactive polymer companies; the field deals with the models, systems, and elements of nature to solve complex human problems. Under these applications, electroactive polymers are used to mimic the functioning of muscles. The industry is still in a growth stage, witnessing continuous investments in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) with major focus on artificial muscles and vision. Electroactive polymers offer resilience, and large actuation, flexibility, and tolerance to damage due to which they are being used to fabricate muscles with the capabilities of biological muscles. In the recent past, machines have been made that imitate fish, birds, plants, and insects. For instance, Eamex Corporation developed an electroactive polymer-based fish known as floajet. However, the suitable properties of electroactive polymers desired for biomimetic performance such as density, strain, speed, efficiency, and actuation pressure is yet to confirm.
Based on application, the ESD and EMI protection segment accounted for the largest share of the Asia Pacific electroactive polymers market in 2019. Based on type, the inherently conductive polymer segment held a larger market share of the Asia Pacific electroactive polymers market in 2019. Side effects caused due to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) is an induced EMI (electromagnetic interference). The effects of undesired electromagnetic radiation or EMI on ungrounded or unshielded conductors are commonly underestimated. An ESD protection device can protect a circuit from an electrostatic discharge (ESD) to prevent a malfunction or breakdown of any electronic device. Electroactive polymers are utilized in such devices for EDS protection since these polymers have high physical & mechanical strength and anti-static properties. The inherently conductive polymer is a family of specialty conductive thermoplastic compounds, which fulfill uniform and precise surface resistivity throughout a resistivity spectrum from strong ESD to strong anti-static. These polymers are quite suited for disk-drive components, wafer processing, and cleanroom applications. They are advantageous in automotive applications needing static discharge protection like fuel system components.
