3D Printing Material Market Dynamics

Drivers

Growing Consumerism in the Automotive Industry

  • 3D printing is increasingly used in the automotive industry to create scale models for testing purposes. They are also used for components, such as bellows, front bumpers, air conditioning ducting, suspension wishbones, dashboard interfaces, alternator mounting brackets, battery covers, etc. Automotive OEM manufacturers use 3D printing for rapid prototyping.

Restraints

  • High cost of materials

3D printing is a convenient but expensive way to manufacture products due to high material cost which is a major limiting factor for market growth. These high standards are due to the high standards of accuracy and composition required for 3D printing. The average cost of metal materials for 3D printing is USD 500.0 per kg which makes it very difficult to use in general applications because the end-product costs are very high as compared to sales.

Education is one of the fastest growing sectors in the 3D printing material market during the forecast period. Although the use of 3D printing in education is still in its infancy, many institutions have begun to set up 3D printing facilities. 3D printing technology is also transforming the traditional classroom. Engineering students can print samples of their designs; Biology students can research a cross-section of an organ, and graphic design students can 3D print their artwork. 3D printing is very useful in creating interactive maps to teach geography to students. Moreover, governments in various countries are investing heavily in 3D printing technology.

North America is expected to grow rapidly and be a lucrative market during the forecast period. The region accounts for approximately 23% of the 3D printing materials sales value. Positive trends in the medical, aerospace and aerospace industries will drive the market growth in North America 3D printing adoption in many industries and enhanced material options will have growth potential. Measures taken by the US government to increase 3D printing, as well as funding for research and development, will increase the adoption of 3D printing, thereby increasing the market value of 3D printing materials and equipment in the region.
