Market Dynamics

materials informatics (MI) makes use of data-centric methods for the research and development of material science. During recent years there has been significant development in this field and many key players are keen in adopting this approach. materials informatics plays a major role in the research and development activities such as hypothesis, knowledge handling, data analysis, and data handling and acquisition. There is a huge demand for materials informatics as it uses data infrastructures and leverages machine learning solutions to discover materials for any given application, for designing the latest materials, and to optimize their processing.

The materials informatics field is still in the development phase but is gaining huge traction. Some of the challenges that are faced include having incomprehensive data infrastructure, development of incomplete MI algorithms which is not operational for a given experimental data. In comparison with other AI-led areas the challenges in this field are not same. The industry players have to deal with data that is high dimensional, sparse, noisy, or even biased. In most of the processes or methods having immense domain knowledge is a necessity. 

Many applications and end-user industries have started adopting similar design methods. The three factors why transformative technology is creating an influence on material science are: increased developments in the solutions that are AI-driven from the other industrial sectors. Secondly, there has been immense advancement in the data infrastructures and lastly increased awareness and knowledge in order to match the pace of innovation.
