IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the 3D printing metal market was mainly driven by the growing use of 3D printed metal parts in various end-use industries such as automotive, aerospace & defense, and medical. However, the pandemic drastically altered the status of the chemicals & materials sector and negatively impacted the growth of the 3D printing metal market. Due to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on various end-use industries, the consumption of 3D printing metals was reduced. The global market for all types of cars was negatively affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic also brought about a dramatic decline in automotive vehicle sales. Moreover, the pandemic caused fluctuation in the prices of 3D printing metals. Prices of various metals increased due to supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic. However, as the economies are reviving their operations, the demand for 3D printing metals is improving. The reopening of business activities in automotive and construction industries is expected to propel the consumption of 3D printing metals, thereby bolstering the market growth.
