The global market for metamaterials is quickly evolving from a platform for academic discovery to one with real-world commercial uses. Real engineering challenges in telecom, defense, healthcare, and energy are being addressed by these engineered structures, which control waves and fields through design rather than composition. These structures are being modified into antennas, flat optics, sensors,...

The metamaterial market is entering a rapid-growth phase as breakthroughs in nanofabrication, photonics, and antenna design move experimental concepts into commercial products. Multiple industry reports show the market expanding from a relatively small base in the early 2020s into a multi-billion-dollar sector over the coming decade — although the exact sizing varies by analyst, reflecting differences...
