3D Printing: Material and Equipment Opportunities, Trends, and Markets 2015-2020 - New Report Identifies 225 SuppliersDUBLIN, Aug. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wtpf24/3d_printing) has announced the addition of the "3D Printing: Material and Equipment Opportunities, Trends, and Markets" report to their offering.  In the report we identify 225 suppliers of the two common thermoplastic filaments for FFF printers - PLA (Polylactic Acid) and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). The growing numbers of third-party material suppliers if causing additional fragmentation of the 3D printing industry. 3D printer manufacturers such as Stratasys and 3D Systems have tried unsuccessfully to limit third-party suppliers, since they encroach on their own materials sold with specificity for their own 3D printers. 3D printing industry remains highly fragmented across different printers, materials, and software. This fragmentation in the 3D industry will be a catalyst for growth, as no single company controls the majority of the market, according to The Information Network's report The Information Network. The large market for FFF printers has cultivated another business that is further fragmenting the 3D printing market - materials. Materials represented 19.4% of the 3D printing industry in 2013, which in our analysis includes materials, printers, service bureaus, and spare parts. In the report, we note that materials will be the fastest growing sector of the industry, representing a 22.1% share in 2020.
