Market Dynamics

Rising usage of AI in materials science is a market dynamics driver.
Materials science and development are emerging fields in which scientists and engineers conduct extensive research on various materials such as metals, alloys, chemicals, fibres, and ceramics that are used in a variety of applications such as aerospace, automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical, and electronics. For material identification, selection, and discovery, the classic trial-and-error method was initially applied.

This method was ineffective and time-consuming because analysing resources through trial-and-error could not adequately categorise them. As a result, the material selection and optimisation processes become difficult. As a result, organisations began applying AI to automate material research, uncover data patterns, and make better and more timely judgements in order to streamline these processes.

Restriction: a lack of technical resources
It is vital to find specialists with the relevant skill set to understand and easily apply materials informatics into necessary applications. Math and statistics are required to comprehend standards for processing various types and amounts of data, as well as databases to help store and collect resources. As a result, from integration through installation, the system must be implemented more precisely.

Slight errors or inaccuracies in parameter detection can result in an ineffective analytical procedure. This may also jeopardise the quality of research and development required for any material development. Furthermore, due to the increasing deployment of AI and automation, the material informatics system requires periodic software upgrades. This necessitates regular worker training in order to effectively operate the updated system.

Opportunity: The growing use of cloud-based data analytics solutions for material analysis.
The growing popularity of cloud-based data analytics systems has resulted in substantial advancements in material science and informatics. The rapid advancement of cloud-based data management frameworks and supercomputing developments have increased the usage of materials informatics.

The cloud-based platform offers numerous advantages, including cost-effectiveness, reduced analysis time, real-time analysis, quick access to the data analysis platform, and the flexibility to customise the platform based on research themes and data formats. Furthermore, cloud-based material informatics platforms require minimal upfront capital inputs for hardware, have a low IT staff requirement, and allow speedy and secure data movement within organisations. 

The difficulty is that there are no prescribed norms or regulations.
Despite the fact that material informatics platforms have been present for over two decades, there are various challenges with their integration and deployment. Associations such as the IQ Consortium (International Consortium for Innovation and Quality in Pharmaceutical Development) are making various initiatives to establish new interfaces and data management standards to enable the integration of these systems. However, a fundamental challenge in the field of material informatics is the lack of integration standards, and there is limited indication of creating universal solutions. This is a significant impediment to increased acceptance of these solutions among prospective end users. With no unifying strategy in place, numerous application sectors such as chemical and pharmaceutical, materials science, and manufacturing are primarily continuing to grow.

From 2023 to 2028, the market for materials science applications is expected to grow at the fastest rate.
During the forecast period, the materials science application is expected to have the greatest CAGR in the materials informatics market. Material informatics approaches can be used to aid in the discovery and development of new materials in materials science applications. Materials science encompasses a wide range of materials and nanotechnology. The complexity of computer issues in materials science grows as a result. Furthermore, this subject is characterised by ongoing research into new materials with specific required functionality. Hence, different materials, modeling techniques, simulation tools, and physics-based and machine-learning models are used in this field to simplify material innovation, management, and optimization processes.
