The global 3D printing technology market can be segmented on the basis of type into metal, polymer, ceramics and others. The metal segment is expected to account for a major share in terms of revenue in 2018 owing to its high adoption rate across various industries. However, during the forecast period from 2018-2030.
Product Definition:
3D printing technology is the process of creating three-dimensional objects from a digital model. Objects are created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is formed. 3D printing technology has many important applications, including medical implants, aerospace engineering, and product design.
Metal:
Metal 3D printing technology is used to create objects layer by layer. It uses metals such as stainless steel, copper, bronze and silver which are in liquid form at the time of printing. The metal powder is put on a print bed which is made up of special material like thermoplastic or polymers. As the metal comes in contact with the print bed it solidifies and gets converted into an object depending upon what we want to make out of it.
Polymer:
Polymer is a long-chain molecule, which can be linked by strong bonds. These polymers are widely used in 3D printing technology due to their properties such as strength and durability. Polymers are categorized into synthetic and natural polymers. Synthetic polymer includes nylon, acrylics, epoxy resins among others while natural polymer includes rubber, collagen among others.
Application Insights:
The consumer electronics segment is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for 3D printed prototypes from consumers. The aerospace and defense application segment also holds promising growth potential due to rising adoption of additive manufacturing in aircraft components such as jet engines, turbines, and parts that are otherwise difficult or expensive to manufacture.
Aerospace manufacturers such as Airbus have started collaborating with schools, universities and research institutes on campus projects that include 3D printing of real-scale models for testing purposes. In addition, several industry players including Boeing Corporation; Embraer S.A.; Bombardier Inc.; CSeries Aircraft Limited; Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company; Augusta Westland Ltd.; Textron Aviation Services LLC; Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation etc., have their own initiatives related to education & training along with providing access devices for designers & architects who use these technologies in their workflows.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to the presence of a large number of industry players and increased adoption of 3D printing technology for prototyping. The region is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period due to increasing investments in R&D and rapid technological advancements. Moreover, growing demand for consumer electronics such as smartphones and laptops is anticipated to drive regional growth over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is projected to be one of the fastest-growing regions during the same period owing rising disposable income, improving standard of living, increasing population awareness regarding healthcare issues resulting from unavailability or unaffordability of treatment/ devices using 2D technologies along with government initiatives & programs supporting 3D printing technology development in emerging economies such as China & India.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the automotive and aerospace industries for lightweight and customized parts
- Growing popularity of 3D printing among consumers for personal use
- Rising number of patent filings in the field of 3D printing technology
- Proliferation of low-cost 3D printers in the market
- Development of new materials and applications for 3D printing
