Piezoelectric materials are type of advanced materials that generate electric charge in response to mechanical pressure or stress. The term piezoelectric is derived from piezoelectricity in which piezo stands for pressure or stress. Thus, piezoelectric materials have unique properties that are known as the piezoelectric effect to generate an electric charge in reaction to applied mechanical pressure. Historically, in 1880s, the first piezoelectric effect was seen and initiated by two brothers, Pierre and Jacques Curie. Also, the first practical application for piezoelectric devices was the sonar device which was introduced during World War I.

Over time, with the advancements in technologies, the range of both natural and man-made materials has been increased which showed piezoelectric effects. Natural materials incorporate berlinite, quartz, topaz tourmaline, and many others. While barium titanate and lead zirconate titanate (PZT) are man-made piezoelectric materials and have exceptional properties that make them most suitable materials for applications like transducers, ultrasonic devices, and vibration sensors. The versatility of such ferroelectric materials enhances their significance across numerous industries. The unique properties of piezoelectric material make it the most demanding material across various applications that incorporate the production of detection of sound, generation of high voltages, microbalances, and electronic frequency generation. Due to this, applications of piezoelectric materials in industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics continued to expand. Additionally, the importance of piezoelectric actuators which are vital components in converting electrical energy into mechanical motion that allows precision control in automotive, robotics, and many other applications, continues to fuel the demand for materials in the market. Consequently, the market is expected to flourish due to such emerging trends and key factors during this forecast period.
