Shape Memory Alloy Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Type (Nickel-Titanium Based, Copper-Based, Others), By End-User Industry (Automotive, Healthcare, Aerospace and Defense, Electronics, Others), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2025 to 2030

The shape memory alloy market will grow at a CAGR of 9.93% to reach US$26.97 billion in 2030 from US$16.80 billion in 2025.

 Shape-memory alloys are metals that, when deformed below a given temperature, will return to their original shape by the application of heat. These metals have the quality of superelasticity; when it is bent or stretched, they will return to their original shape when the deforming force is removed. This characteristic of recovering shape despite substantial deformation is exploited in applications in products for daily life, in electrical and electronic appliances, and in the medical field like temperature sensors, actuators, and clamping fixtures. 

Initially, the shape memory alloy was developed to be used in space technology but its application has spread over several industries. Shape memory alloys have been used for: bio-engineering; golf clubs; helicopter blades; eyeglass frames; tubes, wires, and ribbons; anti-scalding protection; fire security and protection system. With such diversified uses, the shape memory alloy market is expected to witness robust growth over the forecast period. Moreover, innovations are opening up opportunities for key players. Some of the dependable industries on shape memory alloy include consumer electronics, industrial machinery, household equipment, medical equipment, etc.

By type, the nickel-titanium-based alloy accounts for the significant market share and is expected to maintain the growth momentum over the forecast period. The copper-based alloy is more commercially viable and expected to grow a higher CAGR. 

Growth factors

• Increased Biomedical and Bioengineering Applications

In the last 20 years, the use of shape memory alloy in the production of biomedical devices, in particular for mini-invasive techniques has increased significantly. Their use in biomedical applications is also suggested by their good biocompatibility and excellent magnetic resonance and computer tomography compatibility. They are largely used to manufacture orthodontic wires and brackets. As these dental procedures are getting popular, the alloy market will also seize the benefits.

Shape memory alloys are also used in the field of orthopaedic treatments. Broken bones can be mended with shape memory alloys. The alloy plate has a memory transfer temperature that is close to body temperature and is attached to both ends of the broken bone. For clogged blood vessels, an alloy tube is crushed and inserted into the clogged veins. The memory metal has a memory transfer temperature close to body heat, so the memory metal expands to open the clogged arteries. With an increase in several cases of these practices, the alloy market is expected to drive up.

• Other diversified uses

The booming electronics and electrical market are extensively using shape memory alloy. They are used in geysers for hot water supply, modular kitchen appliances, toys, coffee machines, and many more. They are also used in smart devices where flexible displays are used. Their uses have also extended to construction activities. Shape memory alloys are recurrently used in aerospace industries, telecommunications, sports, and leisure activities. These industries are seen to be growing at a fast pace and this positively impacts the alloy industry. These factors will push the market to grow and expand.
