Drivers

Increase in the demand from Multiple End-user Industries and Rise in government initiatives to Boost Market Demand

• 3D printing technology is the  most important disruptive technology. Its customer base is steadily expanding in the electrical and electronics, automotive, healthcare, and aerospace and military sectors. It is anticipated that a greater use of 3D printing technology in these sectors will enhance demand for 3D printing supplies such 3D printing polymers. However, as more companies around the world offer 3D printing plastics, there is a sufficient supply to meet the rising demand from a variety of industries without the need for middlemen.
• 3D printing is utilized in a variety of industries around the world since it allows bulk production while saving end users money and time. Governments from all over the world are working to encourage the use of 3D-printed plastic in a variety of industries. The government's attempts to promote the use of plastics in 3D printing are driving market growth.

Restraints

Environment concerns related to Disposal of 3D-Printed Plastic Products and Rise in Production Costs to Impede the Market Growth

• The market for 3D printing plastics is expected to see growth challenges during the projected period due to growing environmental concerns over the disposal of plastic materials. At first look, 3D printing is a more environment friendly manufacturing method than traditional subtractive ones. Using only the appropriate amount of material, 3D printers build items layer by layer. However, the availability of 3D technologies raises serious questions about the amount of plastic waste produced.
• Due to the market's growing usage across a range of end-user industries, there are some factors that are impeding market expansion. high production costs, for example, are factors. Because a high cost of production directly affects the price of finished good, a high cost of production will also drive up the price of the good, which will reduce consumer demand and ultimately slow the market's expansion.
