Research and Markets: Global Consumer 3D Printing Market Analysis and Forecast 2013-2018: Hardware, Software and Service Level Opportunities Analysis


Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5pgw36/global_consumer) has announced the addition of the "Global Consumer 3D Printing Market Analysis and Forecast (2013 - 2018): Hardware, Software and Service Level Opportunities Analysis" report to their offering.

3D Printers and 3D printing market have become the buzz words in the additive manufacturing industry currently. The global consumer 3D printing market is expected to grow from around $85m in 2013 to reach $576m in revenues by 2018.

Additive manufacturing is one of the most widely accepted emerging technology and its services are being utilized by various industries like medical, automotive, consumer products, military, aerospace, academics, construction and others.

3D printers are generally used in industries as discussed previously, but entry level printers which can produce products of relatively smaller volumes are currently available for purchase by households, hobbyists, educational institutions as these printers come at a very low cost. Makerbot is considered as the pioneer of this market which was followed by other companies like Solidoodle, Ultimake etc. These companies take upand improve on the specifications from the open source models in the RepRap community.



Report Highlights

  • The market is becoming highly consolidated with Stratasys (News - Alert) and 3Dsystems being the global behemoths in this industry. 3DSystems especially has been highly active with a string of acquisitions of smaller companies (around 40) across the globe in the past 2 years.
  • Stratasys also has merged with Objet recently and has acquired the popular manufacturer Makerbot in June 2013 for $403 million.
  • Highest growth in this market is being primarily seen in the US currently but both APAC and the European markets will contribute significant revenues in 2 years time as distribution channels and local manufacturing plants proliferate in these regions.
  • As the recent wave of 3D printing companies launches was based on expiration of key patents in additive manufacturing, another wave of new companies are expected to arrive in 2014 based on key patents expiration in the laser sintering technology.
