Metamaterials have broad application prospects and my country has reached the international leading level

Metamaterials refer to a type of artificial composite structures or composite materials with extraordinary physical properties. Metamaterials are another new material after polymer materials and nanomaterials, which include left-handed materials, photonic crystals, magnetic metamaterials, artificial magnetic conductors, frequency selective surfaces and other types. Metamaterials have rare and unique properties and have become a cutting-edge development direction in physics, chemistry, engineering and other fields.

As a new material, metamaterials have shown good application prospects in automotive applications, aerospace, national defense, medical, communications, energy, electricity and other fields. Currently, many countries around the world have carried out metamaterial-related research. Globally, countries and regions such as the United States and Europe are in a leading position in the field of metamaterials research. Related companies include Boeing Aerospace, Kymeta, Multiwave, Mediwise, etc.

According to the “2022-2026 Metamaterials Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report released by the Industrial Research Center, 2010- In 2020, the global metamaterial market will maintain rapid growth. By 2020, the market size has reached US$1.54 billion. Thanks to the expansion of application fields and upgrading of market demand, the metamaterial market will maintain a rapid growth trend, with an average annual compound growth rate of about 36.8% from 2022 to 2026. Within the expected period, North America will maintain the highest growth rate.

Metamaterials are a global research hotspot. my country attaches great importance to the research of metamaterials. The 973 Program, the 863 Program, major new materials projects, the National Natural Science Foundation and other projects all support the research of metamaterials. With government support, my country’s metamaterials industry has achieved good results in materials research, technology application, industrialization, and basic research. The development of the global metamaterial market is relatively short, and currently, my country’s research and application of metamaterials is basically at the leading level in the world.

Metamaterials are typical man-made materials. The raw materials for manufacturing metamaterials mainly include graphene, dielectric, glass fiber, titanium nitride, etc. Enterprises and institutions engaged in the research and production of metamaterials in my country include Shenzhen Guangqi Institute of Technology, Shenzhen Guangqi Institute of Technology, Qi Technology, AVIC Heavy Machinery, Pengxin Resources, etc. At present, Guangchi Technology is the world’s leading metamaterial research and development company. The company’s metamaterials have entered the stage of large-scale mass production, and the product’s competitive advantages are more prominent. In terms of patents, Kuang-Chi Technology is in a leading position in the country. As of the end of 2020, more than 2,000 patents have been authorized for Kuang-Chi Technology and related entities in the field of metamaterials.

Industry analysts said that as an emerging industry, the global metamaterials market is still in the early stages of development. my country’s research on metamaterials and applications are basically at the global leading level. Metamaterials have unique properties and have promising application prospects in the fields of medical care, aerospace, industry, military and national defense. In the future, with policy support and corporate help, the global metamaterial industrialization process will continue to accelerate.
