The global piezoelectric smart materials market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.87% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Piezoelectric materials transform electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa. They have many applications and may be used as actuators (supply a voltage to induce motion), sensors (such as multiple accelerometers), and energy harvesters since the charge created by motion can be collected and stored. Piezo materials are commonly used in barbecue igniters and actuators for inkjet printer heads.

These materials offer unique features that make them suitable for various applications, including medical imaging, sensors, energy harvesting, and actuators. The sector has, therefore, grown into a massive business worth approximately $10 billion every year, with applications ranging from consumer electrical devices like mobile phones to aircraft, naval sonar, and high-speed trains. Conventional piezoelectric ceramics, such as Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) ceramics, have been ruling the piezoelectric materials market for the last fifty years.

Smart materials, for their part, can alter part or the full properties of this component configuration, color, structure, electrical characteristics, and even functions when they are exposed to external stimuli like temperature, stress, magnetic and electric fields of pH, and many chemical effects. The compounds possess adaptive characteristics and are part of a category of modern materials that could receive some stimuli from their surrounding and participate in the response. These can also be described as "smart", "self-adjustable", or "reactive" since they can register the environment stimuli and evoke reactions at the actuators.

Another category of smart materials is piezoelectric smart materials, which are incorporated into many technological applications because they can generate electrical energy from mechanical energy or the other way around. These materials have numerous applications in fields such as energy collection, detection, stimulation, and biomedical research. Various surveys of piezoelectric smart materials consist of material developments, characterization of models and devices, and manufacturing processes for designing the material.
