South America Electroactive Polymers Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Type (Conductive Polymers, Inherently Conductive Polymers, Inherently Dissipative Polymers, and Others), Application (Actuators, Sensors, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Protection, Antistatic Packaging, and Others)
Market Introduction
The South America electroactive polymers market is a highly fragmented market with the presence of considerable regional and local players providing numerous solutions for companies investing in the market arena. The South American region constitutes developed economies such as US, Canada, and Mexico as a developing nation. Developments in science and technology, especially in the electronics and semiconductors sector, have led to the advent of smart polymers that are capable of changing shape when stimulated by current. Smartphone is a key example of smart electronics that use components made from electroactive polymers, such as batteries, capacitors, proximity sensors, fingerprint sensors, and touchscreen sensors. Electroactive polymers also find use in smart computers, laptops, and tablets. With the ongoing research and development activities, companies are likely to come up with the use of electroactive polymers in computers for blind people via braille. Electroactive polymers are being used in electronic devices to expand the character limit while using braille and thus help the visually impaired people in communicating.
South America, especially Brazil, witnessed an unprecedented rise in number of COVID-19 cases, which led to the discontinuation of electroactive polymers manufacturing activities; other chemical and materials manufacturing sector has subsequently impacted the demand for electroactive polymers during the early months of 2020. Moreover, decline in the overall manufacturing activities has led to discontinuation of electroactive polymers components manufacturing projects, thereby reducing the demand for electroactive polymers. Similar trend was witnessed in other South American countries such as Argentina, Colombia, Peru, and Chile. However, the countries are likely to overcome this drop in demand with the economic activities regaining their pace, especially in the beginning of 2021.

Market Overview and Dynamics
The electroactive polymers market in South America is expected to grow from US$ 185.16 million in 2019 to US$ 245.08 Mn by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2020 to 2027. The field of biomimetics presents lucrative applications for electroactive polymer companies; the field deals with the models, systems, and elements of nature to solve complex human problems. Under these applications, electroactive polymers are used to mimic the functioning of muscles. The industry is still in a growth stage, witnessing continuous investments in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) with major focus on artificial muscles and vision. Electroactive polymers offer resilience, and large actuation, flexibility, and tolerance to damage due to which they are being used to fabricate muscles with the capabilities of biological muscles. In the recent past, machines have been made that imitate fish, birds, plants, and insects. For instance, Eamex Corporation developed an electroactive polymer-based fish known as floajet. However, the suitable properties of electroactive polymers desired for biomimetic performance such as density, strain, speed, efficiency, and actuation pressure is yet to confirm.
Key Market Segments
Based on application, the ESD and EMI protection segment accounted for the largest share of the South America electroactive polymers market in 2019. Based on type, the inherently conductive polymer segment held a larger market share of the South America electroactive polymers market in 2019. Side effects caused due to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) is an induced EMI (electromagnetic interference). The effects of undesired electromagnetic radiation or EMI on ungrounded or unshielded conductors are commonly underestimated. An ESD protection device can protect a circuit from an electrostatic discharge (ESD) to prevent a malfunction or breakdown of any electronic device. Electroactive polymers are utilized in such devices for EDS protection since these polymers have high physical & mechanical strength and anti-static properties. The inherently conductive polymer is a family of specialty conductive thermoplastic compounds, which fulfill uniform and precise surface resistivity throughout a resistivity spectrum from strong ESD to strong anti-static. These polymers are quite suited for disk-drive components, wafer processing, and cleanroom applications. They are advantageous in automotive applications needing static discharge protection like fuel system components.
