The most important trends for self-healing materials


Several trends are emerging in the self-healing materials market. None of these are completely new, but they are important developments that market researchers from N-tech believe will shape the self-healing market going forward and are indicative of where future opportunities will be found.

The three trends that N-Tech is seeing as most notable in the smart materials space are the growing role of biomaterials and biomimetics in the design and creation of self-healing materials, improving performance from commercial products and the emergence of self-healing concrete as a real product. These are not entirely independent developments.


ü  Self-healing trend 1: Biomaterials and biomimetics growing in importance
ü  Self-healing trend 2: Performance is more in sync with applications needs
ü  Self-healing trend 3: The rise of self-healing concrete
