Self-healing Polymers Market Size

Self-healing Polymers Market size was estimated at USD 2.9 billion in 2024 and is expected to surpass USD 44 billion by the end of 2037, rising at a CAGR of 23.5% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-2037. In 2025, the industry size of self-healing polymers is evaluated at USD 3.5 billion.     

The self-healing polymers market is rapidly expanding due to rising public and private infrastructure construction projects across the globe, especially in developing economies Government programs including, the Make in India campaign make obtaining the raw materials needed for the construction industry easier, further supporting domestic manufacturing processes. The adoption of self-healing polymers is rapidly increasing in modern constructions due to its durability and strength and several companies are developing innovative products. In November 2022, Worcester Polytechnic Institute researchers developed a self-healing concrete that repairs cracks using carbon dioxide. The team chose to incorporate carbonic anhydrase (CA), an enzyme found in red blood cells, into the concrete mix. The CA reacts with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate crystals and seals the gaps.
