Ensuring the effectiveness and reliability of self-healing mechanisms in various real-world conditions is a challenge, as the healing process might not always work as intended. Self-healing mechanisms may not be universally compatible with all types of materials and applications, limiting their versatility. Scaling up the production of self-healing materials and integrating them into existing manufacturing processes can be complex and costly. Thus, the risks associated with self-healing materials may drive down the acceptance rate, further hampering the business growth.
Disruptions in the supply chain, including the availability of raw materials and components, affected production and development efforts. Industries that use self-healing materials, such as construction and automotive, experienced reduced activity, affecting demand. Thus, the reduced number of COVID-19 cases and implementation of subsequent strategies by government and non-government organizations is anticipated to drive the business expansion in the upcoming years.
Ongoing research is leading to the development of more sophisticated self-healing mechanisms, enhancing their efficiency and effectiveness. Researchers are exploring a wide range of materials, from polymers to metals, ceramics, and composites, to develop new self-healing options for diverse applications. Self-healing materials are finding applications in various industries beyond traditional sectors, including electronics, healthcare, textiles, and consumer goods.
