Some of the key players operating in this market are BASF SE (Germany), Covestro AG (Germany), Royal DSM NV (Netherlands), and Solvay SA (Belgium).
Product Definition:
Polymers are long chains of molecules that are used to create 3D printing filaments. The polymers are melted and then extruded through a nozzle to form the desired shape. Polymers play an important role in additive manufacturing because they can be used to create a wide variety of objects with different shapes and sizes.
Butadiene Styrene:
The global butadiene styrene (BS) market size was valued at USD 1.8 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0% from 2019 to 2025. Growing demand for high strength, lightweight, and durable materials in the automotive & aerospace industries is anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period.
Polycarbonate:
Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic polymer that contains carbon and hydrogen. It has applications in 3D printing, automotive, electronics & electrical industries. Polycarbonate resins are used to manufacture fiber-reinforced composites for use in additive manufacturing (AM). AM uses digital technology to create objects from a digital file which is then converted into instructions for the machine tools or automated processes which build the object.
Application Insights:
The RF components segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2016 and is anticipated to continue leading over the forecast period. The growing demand for highly efficient antennas and radars for smartphones, tablets, laptops as well as wireless routers is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
Increasing demand from other applications such as sensor fabrication is also projected to fuel additive manufacturing industry growth over the coming years. MEMS sensors are used in a wide range of applications including consumer electronics, healthcare monitoring devices, environmental testing equipment and even military & aerospace equipment. Growing preference towards PCB assembly owing to its low cost along with high efficiency & reliability has driven this application segment significantly since past few years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing regional market over the forecast period owing to rapid industrialization and increasing per capita income. The region accounted for a revenue share of more than 35% in 2017, which can be attributed to rising product demand from end-use industries such as electronics, automotive, and medical.
The Asia Pacific was followed by Europe that accounted for a revenue share of more than 30% in 2017 owing to high polymer consumption from the manufacturing of antennas and sensors. North America is also projected to witness significant growth over the coming years due to technological advancements along with increased funding towards research & development activities within this region.
Latin America has been experiencing economic turmoil recently due its dependence on exports related industries such as oil & gas; however; there has been an increase in domestic demand driven by rising population coupled with improving standards of living resulting into higher disposable incomes among consumers driving product adoption across various sectors including aerospace & defense industry thereby supporting regional market growth during the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for lightweight and durable polymers in automotive and aerospace industries
- Rising popularity of 3D printing or additive manufacturing technology
- Growing demand for customized polymer products in medical and dental implants, prosthetics, etc.
- Proliferation of new polymer materials with better properties for additive manufacturing applications
- Increasing research and development investments by polymer manufacturers to develop innovative polymers for 3D printing
