Transparency Market Research delivers key insights on the global 3D printing in construction market. In terms of revenue, the global 3D printing in construction market is estimated to expand at a CAGR of ~33% during the forecast period, owing to numerous factors regarding which, TMR offers thorough insights and forecasts in its report on the global 3D printing in construction market.

3D printing in construction is a technology used to construct buildings and infrastructure accurately in less time at a price lower than that of the traditional construction method. In the 3D printing technology, along with hardware and materials, software is also an important element for the development of industrial 3D printing operations. 3D printing in construction uses various types of materials. Based on material type, the global 3D printing in construction market has been classified into concrete, metal, composite, plastic, and others. Among these materials, concrete is largely used for the construction of 3D printed buildings. Furthermore, based on printing method, the global 3D printing in construction market has been classified into extrusion, power bonding, and others. Among these, the extrusion method is largely adopted, as the material is precisely applied layer by layer to construct buildings or infrastructure in this method. This is helpful to reduce the wastage of construction material and make the process cost efficient. This, in turn, is expected to boost the global 3D printing in construction market during the forecast period.

3D Printing in Construction Market: Dynamics

Rising use of the 3D printing technology in developed countries to construct buildings rapidly and at an affordable cost is expected to fuel the adoption of 3D printing in construction during the forecast period. The key benefit of the 3D printing technology is construction of 3D printed buildings in less time, with reduced wastage of material. Use of the 3D printing technology helps construct attractive and complex design structures cost efficiently, as material is added layer by layer and precisely in this technology. Additionally, in the 3D printing technology, on-site 3D printing process eliminates several time-consuming steps and makes the 3D printing process quicker. Use of the on-site 3D printing is beneficial, as it reduces the probability of several parts being damaged from transportation and lowers the additional expense on over-engineered parts for protection from transportation. This makes the process more cost efficient.
