The global metamaterials market size was valued at USD 416.94 Million in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 6.95 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of around 36.7% during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the surging antenna applications and wireless mobile communication.
Metamaterials are artificially engineered materials that can achieve electromagnetic properties such as electromagnetic clocking and negative index of refraction. These materials are the novel class of functional materials built around micro and nano structures, which helps in easy interaction of material with light and any other form of energy. A metamaterial generally consists of a meta-units, which are the multiple individual elements. Each element is built from conventional materials especially dielectrics, which include plastic and metals. Plasmonic metamaterials, negative index metamaterials, photonic metamaterials, and chiral metamaterials are some key examples of the metamaterials widely used in numerous applications.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak had caused negative impact on the market. During the pandemic, the emergency lockdown imposed by government bodies across countries has resulted in the disruption of global supply chain, limited availability of workforce, and halted operations of manufacturing plants. The market is expected to recover soon with an uptrend operation due to gradually decline in COVID cases across the globe.
