Smart polymer is a subject of great interest for institutional and industrial research. Properties of these polymers such as shape, mechanical properties, phase separation, permeability, and electrical properties changes in response to small variation in environmental conditions. These polymers are widely used in biomedical & biotechnology applications such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, and cell culture support. The extensive research and novel qualities of these polymers has shown significant growth in the market, and is expected to provide lucrative opportunity in the near future.

The growth of the global smart polymers market is driven by the rise in need for efficient & economical drug delivery system, innovative use of smart polymers in the automobile industry, and significant reversible phase transition property of smart polymers. Development of smart polymers from renewable feedstock and increase in awareness about smart polymers in future are expected to provide significant growth opportunities to the industry players. However, high R&D cost increases the overall cost of smart polymers, which is anticipated to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
