The global shape memory alloys market is expected to reach USD 29.29 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 11.3% over the forecast period. Shape memory alloy (SMA) refers to a metallic material that can be bent or stretched in its cool state. The alloy regains its original shape when heated above the transition temperature. Low temperature (martensite) and high temperature (austenite) are two stable phases of SMAs.
Nickel-titanium alloy (nitinol) is the key product type, which is largely used in medical devices. Medical devices made from nitinol include dental wires, needles, catheter tubes, guidewires, and other surgical instruments. The biomedical industry is facing many challenging applications that are testing the capability of SMAs. Recent research and development activities are aimed at improving the fatigue life of the material and producing materials with low inclusion sizes.

Gradual expansion of the automotive industry is likely to play a significant role in the demand for SMAs over the forecast period. SMA actuators are gaining popularity among automobile manufacturers owing to properties such as shape memory effect (SME) and super elasticity (SE). In addition, SMA actuators do not need complex and bulky design to function. Increasing R&D investments by automobile manufacturers to find potential applications such as climate control, door locks, engine control valve, and actuators are anticipated to drive market growth.
Aerospace and defense is another promising sector for SMAs. Rising focus on multi-functionality and reliability is driving demand for advanced materials in aerospace applications such as spacecraft, rotorcraft, and fixed-wing aircraft.
Asia Pacific is projected to remain a key region for the market over the coming years. Various research institutes and organizations are focusing on the development of new industrial applications. The region is undergoing significant infrastructural development in railways, roadways, industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. Furthermore, globalization has made the region a lucrative place for investment to aid the development of the economy while catering to a larger population. Asia Pacific also boasts a large aerospace and defense industry, creating novel opportunities for SMAs to be incorporated.
The market is competitive, with various small and large participants. Mergers and acquisitions, R&D investments, and new product launches are key strategic initiatives adopted by market players. For instance, in March 2024, Montagu Private Equity LLP, a private equity firm, announced its plans to acquire Johnson Matthey Plc’s Medical Device Components (MDC) business. MDC develops and manufactures specialized components for minimally invasive medical devices. It also focuses on complex and high-precision parts made from platinum group metals and nitinol.
