Analysis of the $1,871 Million 3D Printing Materials Market by Type, by Form and by End user - World Opportunity and Industry Forecast, 2014 - 2022 - Research and Markets


Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "3D Printing Materials Market by Type, by Form and by End user - World Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2014 - 2022" report to their offering.

The global demand for 3D printing materials was valued at $578 million in 2015 and is expected to grow with a CAGR of 18.3% during the forecast period to reach $1,871 million in 2022.

3D printing is a machine-based process in which three-dimensional solid objects are made via a computer containing blueprints or digital files of the object. This is a revolutionary method that utilizes inkjet technology to save time and money by eliminating the need to design, print, and assemble different parts. 3D printing materials are used to manufacture solid objects. These materials are of different types such as plastics, metal, ceramics, and other materials. They are used by designers, engineers, architects, surgeons, and other professionals to make representative models for clients and students.

Currently, North America is the largest market for 3D printing materials in terms of demand, followed by Asia-Pacific and Europe. In Asia-Pacific, Japan is the largest market whereas in Europe, Germany holds the largest share. In the coming years Asa-Pacific is expected to grow rapidly due to developments in emerging countries such as China, India, Korea, and others.



The 3D printing materials market is expected to register substantial growth in the near future due to rapidly growing industries such as aerospace and defense, healthcare, and automotive. Metal materials are expected to dominate the market in terms of growth rate during the forecast period. However, high cost associated with the techniques and materials is expected to restrict the market growth.

Recent development in the 3D printing material market include release of Ultimaker CPE, Ultimaker PC, Ultimaker Nylon, and Ultimaker TPU 95A (3D printing materials) by Ultimaker, a Netherlands-headquartered company in September, 2016. Similarly, at the same time, Nexeo Solutions, a Germany-based company, launched Nexeo3D to mark its entry into 3D printing material market.
