The global electroactive polymers (EAP) product market is expected to be worth $2.78 billion by 2014, according to a new M&M report, “Global Electroactive Polymers Market Trends, Applications And Forecasts (2009-2014).” The conductive plastics segment contributed 84% to the overall market in 2009, mainly due to its extensive application in electrostatic discharge and electromagnetic interference. As the EAP market is still in the early phase, it presents many advantages for the early movers, the report says. As there are not too many companies involved now, detailed knowledge of the competitors will be crucial for the success of each company.
