3D Printing Material Market Growth Drivers

  • Rising Demand for 3D Printing Materials in Construction Industry: The rising demand from various end-use industries is mainly driving the growth of the 3D printing materials market. Building and construction is one of the major end-use industries of 3D printing materials. There is a high demand for affordable housing, and this pushes the construction industry into finding innovative ways like 3D printing.
  • Innovations in 3D Printing Enhancing Construction Efficiency: 3D printing allows for shorter construction times and reduced labor costs. The additive process of 3D printing can create complex structures that could not be accomplished otherwise. Also, much emphasis is being placed on innovations such as 3D printing in construction to enhance the public infrastructure.
  • Automotive Industry Driving Growth in 3D Printing Materials: Further, the automobile industry is using the technology of 3D printing to quickly accelerate the rapid prototyping of automobile components so that manufacturers can find new designs faster to test. 3D printing allows for the creation of parts that are customized for specific models of vehicles, which is becoming critical in the market. Lightweight constructions incorporating advanced materials also add fuel efficiency and accelerate vehicle performance, further propelling the increasing demand for 3D printing materials.

3D Printing Material Market Future Trends

  • Rising Demand for SLS 3D Printing Across Industries: A high demand for SLS 3D printing is expected to be a key trend in the market. SLS 3D printing is highly used in end-use industries such as healthcare, automotive, and aerospace & defense. SLS 3D printing is highly used because of its various advantages.
  • Advantages of SLS 3D Printing for Complex Designs and Prototypes: SLS 3D printing requires no support, owing to which designs with complex geometries can be easily produced. SLS parts have good isotropic mechanical properties, which make them ideal for functional parts and prototypes. Moreover, the manufacturing capabilities of SLS are good for small to medium-batch production.
  • Strong Automotive and Aerospace Manufacturing Driving SLS 3D Printing Demand: Further, automotive is one of the largest manufacturing sectors in the US. According to Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA) data, the total car production was estimated to be 10.1 million in the US in 2022. The US aircraft manufacturing industry is primarily engaged in manufacturing or assembling complete aircraft, developing and making aircraft prototypes, aircraft conversion, or complete aircraft overhaul and rebuilding. Thus, the strong automotive and aircraft manufacturing bases in the country drive the demand for SLS 3D printing.

3D Printing Material Market Opportunities

  • Growing Demand for 3D Printing Materials in the Medical Industry: The growing demand for 3D printing materials from the medical industry will provide more opportunities for market growth. In dentistry, the use of 3D printing has seen a rapid increase. 3D printing technology is becoming a staple technology in the field of dentistry.
  • Advantages of 3D Printing in Dentistry for Accuracy and Customization: For dental sciences, 3D printing is an ideal technology due to the accuracy and customization incorporated into products made by 3D printing. 3D printing offers various advantages over subtractive/milling techniques. It facilitates the easy production of complex geometries and reduces material wastage in milling.
  • 3D Printing Revolutionizing the Custom Hearing Aid Market: The custom hearing aid market is being taken over by 3D printing. Custom fitted 3D printed hearing aids are modeled on each patient's anatomy. There are various advantages of 3D-printed hearing aids. 3D-printed hearing aids ensure a higher degree of comfort for patients, lesser fit issues, and subsequent adjustments for audiologists. An accurate fit is necessary for designs worn all day inside the ear. Customized hearing aids provide a better fit and contribute to an improved auditory experience.
