Report Summary

The Europe electroactive polymer market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.55% during the forecast period of 2019-2027. EAP polymer actuators are used for manufacturing medical devices like catheters and drug delivery devices.  Thus, the growing demand from the medical sector, along with several potential EAP applications is responsible for fueling growth in the Europe electroactive polymer market.

The countries analyzed for this region include UK, France, Italy, Russia, Germany, Spain and the Rest of Europe. The extensive usage of touchscreens in this region is the major factor propelling the growth of the EAP market. However, the lack of awareness among end-users regarding the benefits of EAP over other synthetic materials and the absence of adequate EAP infrastructure in the region may hinder the growth of the market in the coming years. The UK was a major contributor to the market growth in 2018.  Several UK institutes like the University of Birmingham, Imperial College London, Cambridge University, and The University of Oxford have invested heavily into the research and development of electroactive polymers.

Due to a stiff competition observed in the region, owing to the presence of major players in the market, the companies are experimenting with various competitive strategies such as increased R&D, the launch of innovative materials, manufacture of cost-efficient products etc., in order to survive in the market. Some of these companies include Cabot Corporation, 3M Company, the Lubrizol Corporation, AGFA-GEVAERT N.V, Merck & Co Inc, Parker-Hannifin Corporation, PolyOne Corporation, and Celanese Corporation.
