Metamaterials are a type of compound material structure, containing exceptional material parcels similar to aural, electrical, glamorous, and optic parcels. They include resonators manipulating electromagnetic swells or sound in ways not typically set up in nature. The physical parcel metamaterials parade is exceptionally similar as negative permittivity. The metamaterials permit masterminds to control the surge propagation by arranging the unit cells in colorful ways.

5G is a new-age technology allowing connecting the digital network in a flexible manner. 5G networks are anticipated to acclimatize to operations and will be acclimated to the requirements of end druggies. Metamaterial-based antennas or radars can perform exceptionally better than conventional systems in terms of effectiveness. As a result, metamaterial antennas will profit from the rapid acceptance of 5G. This will give tremendous openings to metamaterial requests in the coming future.

Growth Factors

The request growth is attributed to adding relinquishment of metamaterials in the defense, aerospace, and military high-end operations is also anticipated to boost the request growth. Moreover, the growing demand for metamaterials from communication antenna manufacturers is another factor that will drive the growth of metamaterials during the forecast period.

In addition, extensive investments by private and public stakeholders are anticipated to drive the request growth. Metamaterials are also high in demand from the telecommunication and medical sector. They're extensively used in the production of metamaterial lenses, detectors, and antennas, owing to their rare parcels. Adding demand for grapheme-grounded metamaterials in the medical field is fueling the growth of the metamaterials request.

Metamaterials Market Dynamics

Key Market Drivers

  • Increasing prevalence of RTA - Growing demand from the automotive industry for metamaterial products will drive the market further with the booming automotive sector in the coming years.
  • A huge number of people belonging to the geriatric population - The growing use of metamaterials in the medical and telecommunications sectors to develop metamaterial lenses and antennas that can be more efficient than traditional old systems is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period.
  • Plastic and plastic surgery procedures - The demand for antennas is expected to increase during the forecast period, due to the increase in security requirements in the defense industry. Radar is used to detect any obstacles in the air and guide the aircraft. Metamaterials are mainly used for antennas and radars. These factors are expected to drive the demand for antennas and radars thereby driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Key Market Challenges 

  • Disruption has occurred due to the emergence of COVID-19 - The spread of COVID-19 has affected businesses around the world. Lockdown orders have been adopted around the world. This has disrupted the global economy, with businesses closed or partially operating. This also affects the metamaterials business as all industries including defense, automotive, electronics, and aerospace, are affected by the covid-19 crisis and therefore suspended some ongoing projects and made small investments in new projects. As a result, the global market is growing slowly during the pandemic.
  • Lack of skilled labor - Lack of awareness of the benefits of metamaterials and the associated technical complexities of their suitability for various applications is expected to hinder the growth of the market. 
  • Variation in tensile strength - high raw material cost is another major factor holding back the market growth.

Key Market Opportunities

  • Use of metamaterials in solar systems - The use of metamaterials in solar systems and metamaterial-based radars for drones presents a lucrative opportunity for the market. The lack of technology available for mass production is a major challenge for the market. Federal agencies spend heavily on research and development of metamaterials for aerospace and defense applications. Therefore, the demand for metamaterials in a vast range of applications is driven by the diversity of design features.
  • Substantial government interest and investment - High investment from both public as well as private sectors to commercialize products are some of the opportunities for metaphysical market growth. 
  • Diverse design features - Diverse design features, anti-reflective coating applications, and stealth cloaks for stealth aircraft are the key growth drivers for the metamaterials market. Growing demand from aviation and defense industries, increasing use of antennas for communication, and growing demand for mobile communications is driving the metamaterials market.
