In 2024, self-repairing devices are beginning to hit the consumer electronics market, offering new durability for everyday gadgets.
Using materials that can self-heal small scratches or internal circuits capable of rerouting around damaged sections, these devices are designed to extend the lifespan of electronics and reduce e-waste.
Smartphones, wearables, and even automotive components are adopting these technologies, especially in markets where the right to repair is highly valued.
Self-healing polymers and conductive inks allow devices to maintain functionality even after sustaining minor damage, contributing to a more sustainable tech ecosystem.
As consumer demand for durable, repairable products increases, self-repairing devices are expected to become more widespread.
