According to Fortune Business Insights the global self-healing materials market size was USD 5.58 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 9.08 billion in 2024 to USD 436.92 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 62.5% during the 2025-2032 period. Self-healing materials are contrived or simulatedcreated composites that possess various benefits, including instinctively repair damages or rebuilding attributed without any external aid. These aids include human or apparatus-based intervention. Generally, materials deteriorate over extended duration from fatigue due to damages occurring from operations and external environmental conditions.

Self-Healing Materials Market Segmentation:
By Form:
The market is segmented into intrinsic and extrinsic forms. The intrinsic segment dominates due to its ability to restore material integrity after damage, often triggered by external stimuli. Examples include Diels-Alder-based polymers, which heal through thermal reversibility.
By Product:
Segments include polymer, concrete, metal, coating, ceramic, asphalt, and fiber-reinforced composites. Polymers led the market in 2023, driven by demand for materials like vitrimers and multifunctional polymers known for durability and thermal stability. Ceramic composites are gaining traction in aerospace for their self-repairing and heat-resistant properties. NASA has also used selfhealing conductive materials in shuttle wiring systems.
By End-use Industry:
Key segments are transportation, consumer goods, building & construction, energy generation, healthcare, and others. Transportation dominates due to demand for low-maintenance, durable materials. Notably, Lamborghini and MIT developed a self-healing car concept. Consumer goods and construction are also major contributors, fueled by growing lifestyle spending, infrastructure development, and eco-friendly microbial self-healing materials.

Market Driver:
Expansion of BASF’s Chemical Industry to Promote Growth
The growing focus of companies towards expanding their production capacity can create opportunities for the market. For instance, in September 2019, BASF, a major in the chemical industry announced that it will increase the production of ethylene oxide and ethylene oxide derivatives at its Verbund site in Antwerp, Belgium. The total capacity for the project adds up to 400,000 metric tons a year to BASF's manufacturing potential for relevant materials with an annual investment value of over € 500 m. furthermore, the prospering automotive industry is expected to aid the expansion of the market. Self-healing materials are chemically produced substances that have the characteristics of self-healing without any external force. The growing focus of OEMs towards healers as an external cover to cars is expected to enable the growth of the market. Besides, the reduction of repairs by the use of healers can spur its demand in the automotive industry, thus aiding the growth of the market.
Nevertheless, the high cost of healers combined with the availability of a variety of alternatives is expected to restrict the growth of the market.
