3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing is the process of creating an object by laying down successive layers of material until an object is made. It allows you to produce even complex shapes using less material than the traditional manufacturing processes. In the near future, the global market of 3D printing is predicted to witness rapid growth.
The global 3D Printing market size is projected to reach US$ 7063.1 million by 2026, from US$ 2467.2 million in 2019, according to a new report by Valuates Reports. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 16.3% from 2021 to 2026.
By region, North America had the highest share in 2019 at 37.76 percent, followed by Europe at 27.97 percent.
Ceramics, plastics and metals are the predominately used materials in the 3D printing market for various applications involving consumer products, automotive, medical and dental, aerospace and defence, others, etc.
3D Printing in consumer products has significant value because it allows for customization, faster production, more control over the product design, and also contributes towards sustainability. Similarly, 3D printing is essential in the automotive industry as it allows for more efficient car model design, prototyping, testing and production.
?In the medical and dental space, 3D printing helps in shorter lead times, reduced waste and opportunity for mass customization. 3D printing helps produce a wide range of devices such as hearing aids and even prosthetic limbs, which can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the patient. Coming to the aerospace and defence sector, 3D printing emerges useful with its ability to create parts that are stronger and lighter than parts made using traditional manufacturing.
