Medical 3D Printing Market Drivers

Investment in Healthcare Infrastructure to Boost Growth of Medical 3D Printing Market

• Public-private funding for a variety of initiatives in the 3D printing industry has significantly increased in recent years. The market for medical 3D printing is expected to expand as a result of these kinds of research and funding efforts, which are expected to accelerate the advancement of 3D printing technologies and products. Investment to develop healthcare infrastructure will further boost demand for 3D printing in the medical industry.

Medical 3D Printing Market Restraints

Shortage of Skill to Hinder Market Growth

• The lack of skilled workers is a major obstacle to the adoption of additive manufacturing or 3D printing. The rapid pace of technological and material advancement in the 3d printing medical devices market further exacerbates the fact that there is a very limited pool of resources available for staff who are well-versed in the process. There are not enough training programs available for additive manufacturing, and there is a large and difficult-to-bridge gap between academia and the industry. The product's final quality is affected by the workforce's lack of knowledge of the design and production cycle in additive manufacturing. The medical device industry's overall adoption of 3D printing would be hampered by the absence of such a workforce.
