SLS equipment is capable of creating both prototypes and final products without requiring any support structure to hold the object while it is being printed. The growth of the SLS equipment market is propelled by the ability of SLS equipment to produce parts possessing good mechanical properties with no build support. Also, recent government investments in 3D printing projects and the ability of SLS technology to reduce manufacturing costs and time to market are propelling market growth.

The market for metal-based SLS equipment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Due to extensive demand for sophisticated, accurate, and complex designs in aerospace and aeronautics, and healthcare industries (for medical devices and surgical instruments), metal-based SLS equipment is expected to witness increased adoption worldwide in the coming years.

North America held the largest share of the SLS equipment market in 2017 owing to technological advancements and growing adoption of technology in a vast range of industries in this region. The selective laser sintering equipment market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during 2018–2023 driven by the increasing adoption of SLS equipment in several verticals, such as consumer goods, aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and art and fashion.

In 2017, 3D Systems Corporation (US) and EOS GmbH (Germany) led the SLS equipment market. Farsoon Technologies (China), Prodways Group (France), Formlabs, Inc. (US), Sinterit sp. z o.o. (Poland), Renishaw Plc. (UK), Sintratec AG (Switzerland), Sharebot S.r.l. (Italy), Natural Robotics (Spain), Ricoh Company, Ltd. (Tokyo), Z Rapid Tech (China), Concept Laser GmbH (Germany), Aerosint (Belgium), XYZ Printing, Inc. (Taiwan), Dynamic Tools (Spain), Aspect Inc (Japan), and Red Rock SLS (Russia) are among the other companies operating in the SLS equipment market.

The SLS equipment market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period driven by the increasing adoption of SLS equipment in several verticals, such as consumer goods, aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and jewelry. The rising adoption of SLS equipment and materials would further boost the penetration of SLS equipment across APAC. The major contributors to the market in APAC are Japan and China. China has a huge potential in terms of SLS 3D printing applications and is also the fastest-growing market in APAC. However, North America held the largest share of the SLS equipment market in 2017 owing to the technological advancements and growing adoption of technology in a vast range of industries in this region.
