According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of the global 3D printing materials market looks promising with opportunities in the automotive, consumer, medical, and aerospace industries. The global 3D printing materials market is expected to reach an estimated $4.1 billion by 2024 with a CAGR of 19% from 2019 to 2024. The major drivers for this market are rapid acceptance of 3D printing technology from prototyping to final product manufacturing and reduction in manufacturing cost.
In this market, photopolymers, thermoplastics, metals, and ceramic materials are used in additive manufacturing. Lucintel forecasts that photopolymers will remain the largest material for 3D printing due to the increasing demand in medical, consumer electronic, and aerospace industries. The metal material for 3D printing is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period due to increasing demand for titanium in the aerospace & defense industry.
Within this market, 3D printing materials for medical industry is expected witness the highest growth during the forecast period due to increasing adoption of 3D printing in medical devices and tissue engineering products.
Fused deposition modeling (FDM), stereolithography (SLA)/digital light processing, selective laser sintering (SLS)/multi jet fusion, and material jetting are the major technologies used in the 3D printing industry. Fused deposition modeling will remain the largest technology segment over the forecast period due to its increasing demand in automotive and consumer end use industries.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to the growing awareness of 3D printing technology and increasing adoption of 3D printing materials in medical and dental implants.
Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include use of bio-inks and gels in the medical industry and increasing use of composite materials. 3D Systems, Stratasys, The ExOne Company, Arcam, EOS, Voxelijet, Arkema, Hogonas, Concept Laser, and Carpenter Technologies are among the major manufacturers of 3D printing materials.
