Shape memory alloys (SMA) are various metallic elements that exhibit both pseudoelasticity and shape memory effect in response to changes in temperature and electromagnetic force. They can regain their original form after deformation and can also alter their stiffness, natural frequency, position and other mechanical properties. Alloys of nickel-titanium or nitinol, copper-zinc-aluminum, copper-aluminum-nickel and iron-manganese-silicon are the most common types of SMAs available in the market. They also exhibit high fatigue resistance, super-elasticity and biocompatibility, owing to which they are used in the production of actuators, medical devices, heat detection devices and various high-temperature motors and automobiles.

The growing automotive industry is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, significant developments in other industry verticals, such as robotics, biomedical, civil, defense and aerospace, are also contributing to the market growth. With the growing adoption of consumer electronics across the globe, there is an increasing preference for SMAs that can be stretched or bent as per the requirement of the consumer. Additionally, increasing preference for nitinol alloys is acting as another growth-inducing factor. In the medical sector, SMAs are utilized in the production of medical implants, such as stents, dental wires, orthopedic screws and other surgical equipment. Other factors, including the growing product adoption in the aerospace sector, increasing defense expenditures by the governments of both developed and emerging economies and significant growth in the construction industry, are projected to drive the market in the upcoming years.
