Advanced Functional Materials Market size was valued at USD 107.16 Billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 115.3 Billion in 2023 to USD 207.18 Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.6% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

Industries require advanced reactive materials, such as electrical and electronics, power and energy, automotive, aerospace, healthcare and pharmaceuticals. Advanced reactive materials in three ways reduce the carbon footprint of a container. Advanced functional materials are an alternative to plastic metals in various industries due to their unique properties like high corrosion resistance, melting resistance, bending resistance and wear resistance etc. These advanced functional materials are more suitable for mass production.

Moreover, nanomaterials dominate the AFM market, as nanomedicine is rapidly applying nanomaterials in the healthcare industry. Treatment, diagnosis, drug delivery, biological tracking, and monitoring can be achieved through nanomedicine.

The use of nanoscale materials enables the fabrication of materials with unique properties. For example, nanoparticles are used to increase thermal conductivity in applications ranging from cooling electronics to advanced medical imaging. This trend is driving the development of nanomaterials with tailored properties for a specific application. Biomimetic materials mimic natural materials and systems to achieve specific functions. An example is self-healing materials, which mimic the repair mechanisms found in living organisms.
