Additive Manufacturing Market Size, Recent Trends and Regional Growth Forecast

Posted by robert henric on August 8th, 2019

It takes virtual designs from Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software and transforms them into thin, virtual, horizontal layer-wise cross-sections until the model is complete. Various synonyms generally used for AM are an additive fabrication, additive processes, additive techniques, additive layer manufacturing, layer manufacturing, and freeform fabrication.

The Additive Manufacturing Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.5% to reach ,471.9 million

According to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), is the “process of joining materials to make objects from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer”. Various synonyms generally used for AM are additive fabrication, additive processes, additive techniques, additive layer manufacturing, layer manufacturing, and freeform fabrication.

Technological innovations in 3d printing have been witnessed over the past few years. Newer surgical products manufactured from AM, with better safety and efficacy attributes, contribute to the widespread adoption of the additive manufacturing in medical by physicians and patients worldwide.

Global 3D Printing Market, by industry

Automotives

Consumer products

Business machines

Medical

Academic

Aerospace

Government/military

Automotive or motor vehicles account for the largest share in this market, primarily due to the easy applications of 3D printing in the production of end-products (engines, spare parts, other interior, and exterior parts) as compared to other segments such as consumer products and business machines, which have limited usage in manufacturing of end-products. Rising healthcare expenditure in emerging economies provide growth opportunities for the AM technologies, as new healthcare facilities have come up in these areas.

New and improved technologies, financial support from governments, large application area, rapid product development at a low cost, and ease of development of custom products are the major drivers that are slated to propel additive manufacturing market. However, a few pivotal factors restraining the growth of this market are regulatory hurdles in different countries, material characterization during development, and process control and understanding.

The penetration rate of additive manufacturing for the medical devices market is faltering in emerging markets. However, established companies and new entrants in the additive manufacturing for medical devices market should consider these GDP growth rates, ease of product approval, increasing procedural volumes, and low penetration rates compared to mature markets, as the driving opportunistic factors that will plant the seed for future possible success for such companies.
