Market Introduction

The Europe 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 European region constitutes developed economies such as Germany, France, UK, Italy and Russia as a developing nation. Developments in science and technology, especially in the electronics and semiconductors sector, have led to the advent of smart polymers that are capable of changing shape when stimulated by current. Smartphone is a key example of smart electronics that use components made from electroactive polymers, such as batteries, capacitors, proximity sensors, fingerprint sensors, and touchscreen sensors. Electroactive polymers also find use in smart computers, laptops, and tablets. With the ongoing research and development activities, companies are likely to come up with the use of electroactive polymers in computers for blind people via braille. Electroactive polymers are being used in electronic devices to expand the character limit while using braille and thus help the visually impaired people in communicating.   


Europe, especially France, 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 European countries such as Russia, the UK, Italy, and Spain. However, the countries are likely to overcome this drop in demand with the economic activities regaining their pace, especially in the beginning of 2021.

    Key Market Segments

    Based on application, the ESD and EMI protection segment accounted for the largest share of the Europe electroactive polymers market in 2019. Based on type, the inherently conductive polymer segment held a larger market share of the Europe 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.
