Market Dynamics

Drivers

Increasing use of machine learning solutions

The material informatics has emerged as a promising new approach for speeding up the discovery and design of novel materials. It seeks novel materials, principles, and functionality, among other things, by utilizing the intelligent power of machine learning algorithms in large materials data from experiments and simulations. The materials informatics requires the development of specific capabilities for generating, collecting, managing, learning, and mining large scale materials data. As a result, the increasing use of machine learning solutions is driving the growth of the global materials informatics market during the forecast period. 

Restraints

Incomprehensive data infrastructure

The growing capabilities of computational science in general have stimulated materials researchers’ interest in new, computer-based pathways to material discovery and design that are better, faster, and less expensive than even before. But the data required for the material discovery and design is very complicated and difficult to crack the algorithms. The materials informatics is divided into many different phases, which requires data management and handling at every stage of process. The data and information in materials informatics infrastructure is very noncomprehensive and difficult to understand. As a result, the incomprehensive data infrastructure is restricting the growth of the global materials informatics market during the forecast period. 

Opportunities

Technological innovations in the field of artificial intelligence

A mixture of data mining, machine learning, and statistical methods can be defined as artificial intelligence. The use of a combination of these in material science approaches is gaining traction in response to industry demands for faster materials development, discovery, and commercialization. After experiment, simulation, and theory, artificial intelligence in advanced materials research and development is the obvious next step in information generation. The innovations in the field of artificial intelligence with regards to materials science will change the face of the materials informatics sector. Thus, the technological innovations in the field of artificial intelligence is creating lucrative opportunities for the growth of the global materials informatics market during the forecast period.

Challenges

Data security

In the materials informatics, the data security is very critical factor. Materials firms have a distinct competitive edge due to their own formulations, formulae, procedures, and data. The digitalization of this information creates additional opportunities for data loss and unauthorized internet protocol (IP) access. When considering artificial intelligence applications, materials firms should think about how they keep, manage, and share their data. If the data is mismanaged, the data from the materials informatics system can be hacked easily. So, this crucial data needs to be secured properly. But some of the market players don’t understand the importance of data security, and losses big amount of data from their systems. Thus, data security is a major hurdle for the growth of the global materials informatics market during the forecast period.
