The Global Electro Active Polymers Market was valued at USD 4.12 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 7.31 billion in 2026, growing at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period. Electro active polymers are a field of material that demonstrates large strain in response to electrical fields. These actuators closely emulate the stimulus-response capacities of animal muscle and so are often referred to as artificial muscles.
