[Research Report] The 3D printing market size is expected to grow from US$ 17.46 billion in 2022 to US$ 91.74 billion by 2030; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 23.0% from 2022 to 2030.

3D Printing Market Analyst Perspective:

The use of 3D printing technology is growing in the aerospace industry as it helps to create light and geometrically complex parts more efficiently and accurately, driving the growth of the 3D printing market. 3D printing helps to create the whole aircraft component rather than building it in parts, thus reducing lead times and material wastage. In addition, automobile manufacturers are increasingly using the technology to reduce inherent weight and cost reductions. It also helps with rapid prototyping of new parts for testing or small-scale manufacturing. Hence, the growing use of technology in the automotive industry is boosting the growth of the market. Furthermore, the rising use of 3D printing technology in the medical sector for the creation of made-to-measure implants and devices is creating an opportunity for the growth of the market. In the medical sector, technology can help in designing and customization of dental fixtures and hearing aids as per the needs of the users, raising its demand worldwide.

3D Printing Market Overview:

3D printing is also known as additive manufacturing. It is a method of creating a three-dimensional object using a computer-created design. Also, 3D printing is an additive process where layers of material are built to create a 3D part. It is the best option for the creation of complex, bespoke items, making it an ideal solution for rapid prototyping, as products can be created faster than any other traditional manufacturing techniques and without any reliance on external supply chains. In addition, 3D printing is cheaper than subtractive production methods as no extra material is used, thus boosting the growth of the industry. Moreover, as the process is based on computer-aided designs (CAD), if there are any product alterations, it can be easily done without impacting the manufacturing cost.

Strategic Insights

3D Printing Market Driver:

Growing Construction Industry Worldwide is Fueling the Growth of the Market.

The construction of commercial and residential buildings is growing worldwide, majorly in developing countries. In July 2021, according to the TASS, a Russian news agency, the commissioning of housing in Russia increased by 28.4% in the first five months of 2021 compared to 2020. According to the data from the Ridgewater Homes website, in 2021, Australia witnessed a 10% growth in the construction of residential buildings. This growth is attributed to the increased demand for houses due to growing sustained employment, low-interest rates, and a surge in government programs such as HomeBuilder. Several government initiatives are supporting the growth of the housing industry. For instance, in February 2021, the South Korean government announced to ease building regulations and support redevelopment projects in South Korean urban areas by supporting the construction of 836,000 new houses nationwide. Also, the new housing policy by the government focuses on increasing the number of houses in the Seoul metropolitan area and other major cities. Moreover, according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport of South Korea, the latest policy consists of constructing 323,000 and 293,000 new houses in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, respectively. Similarly, in September 2021, the Egyptian government announced the construction of 37 new smart city projects with an initial investment of US$ 20 billion in an area of 16,800 hectares.

Furthermore, the growing industrialization is leading to the construction of new office complexes globally. For instance, in Q1 of 2022, the construction of Ostendstraße 1-14 Commercial Buildings started in Berlin, Germany, with an investment of ~US$ 1,293 million. The project aims to meet the growing requirement for office, hotel, retail, and commercial facilities in the region. The project is expected to be completed in Q4 of 2027. Similarly, the construction of the Commerz III Commercial Office Complex started in Q1 of 2022 in Mumbai, India. This 43-story commercial office complex construction is expected to require an investment of ~US$ 900 million and will be completed in Q4 of 2027. Thus, the rise in residential and commercial construction projects globally is raising the demand for 3D printing as it provides the freedom to design different structures. Also, architects are able to build complex designs which can be very time-consuming, too expensive, or labor-intensive, created by conventional construction means. Thus, the use of technology allows a lot more innovation and creativity in the commercial construction space, driving the market growth in the forecasted period.
