Market Overview:
The global 3D printing plastics and photopolymers market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for 3D printing plastics and photopolymers in various applications such as aerospace and defense, tool and mold making, automotive, healthcare, academic institutions, among others. Some of the key players operating in this market are BASF SE (Germany), Evonik Industries AG (Germany), Royal DSM NV (Netherlands), Arkema SA (France), Covestro AG (Germany) etc.
Product Definition:
3D Printing Plastics and Photopolymers are defined as materials that can be used to create three-dimensional objects through a process known as additive manufacturing. These materials are important because they allow for the creation of complex shapes and designs that cannot be produced using traditional manufacturing methods.
PLA:
Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a biodegradable thermoplastic made from renewable resources, and it has a low melting point. It is produced through fermentation of bacterial lactic acid and can be derived from various sources including corn cobs, sugarcane bagasse, dairy waste products, or microorganisms. The most commonly used raw materials for manufacturing PLA are corn cobs and sugarcane bagasse.
ABS:
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a polymer with strong styrene-butadiene rubber like properties. ABS can be easily liquefied by heating to about 120°C and kept liquid for extended periods at room temperature. ABS has high impact resistance, good chemical resistance, and excellent mechanical properties making it suitable in various applications across the globe.
Application Insights:
The aerospace and defense application segment led the market in 2017. The increasing need for replacing or refurbishing old parts is expected to drive the demand for additive manufacturing in this sector over the forecast period. Furthermore, a rise in passenger travel demand is anticipated to augment growth over the next eight years, thereby driving product demand across all industry applications during that period.
Tool and mold making was another prominent application segment of 3D printing plastics and photopolymers in 2017. The ability of these materials to create accurate prototypes faster than other conventional methods has been instrumental in enabling their use across several industries including automotive, construction, medical devices and appliances among others.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global 3D printing plastics and photopolymers market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period owing to increasing defense spending by U.S., which is likely to drive demand for photopolymer-based products over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific was valued at USD X million in 2017 and is projected to grow at a significant CAGR from 2018 to 2030 due high product availability, low raw material cost, rapid industrialization, favorable government regulations pertaining 3D printing plastics and photopolymers along with growing consumer awareness regarding new technologies are some of the major factors driving regional growth.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for 3D printing technology across different industries
- Rising popularity of 3D printing among consumers
- Growing number of applications for 3D printing technology
- Technological advancements in 3D printing industry
- Increasing investments in research and development
