Report Description


The 3D printing materials market size was valued at nearly USD XX Bn in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD XX Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of XX% during 2023 – 2031. The market growth is attributed to the flexibility in developing customized products and reductions in costs of manufacturing components from the consumer electronics, medical, aerospace & defense, and automotive sectors.

3D printing use computer-aided engineering designs to create three-dimensional objects through layering methods. 3D printing methods are referred to as additive manufacturing as they involve the layering of varied materials in different shapes on top of each other. Manufacturing of objects ranging in size, rigidity, shape, and color is possible through 3D printing. 3D printing involves blocks of material or molds in manufacturing physical objects by stacking and fusing layers of material.

3D Printing Materials Market Outlook

3D printing aids in the manufacturing and prototyping components for a wide scale of applications, cost-effectively and in less time. Selecting the right 3D printing process and materials enable the creation of components with desired functional characteristics and mechanical properties.

Commonly used materials in 3D printing are acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), plaster, polylactide or polylactic acid (PLA), alumina, silica, waxes, and tissues. 3D printers are utilized in printing PLA filaments and pure metal filaments. Polycarbonate 3D printing filaments are dimensionally stable, strong, heat-resistant plastics with improved impact strengths. 3D concrete printing involves the deployment of large-scale 3D printers that measure around 30 feet in height and length nozzles that extrude concrete. 3D printing construction machines for manufacturing concrete generally are robotic arm systems or gantries.

The COVID-19 pandemic restricted the 3D printing materials market due to the abrupt closing of businesses during government-imposed lockdown restrictions worldwide. This resulted in a decrease in manpower at manufacturing units. The demand for 3D printed materials from the automotive sector faced a severe decline, with several countries shutting down automotive manufacturing units. As per the reports of the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, the global vehicle production of 2019 in the third quarter was close to 65 million, which decreased significantly to 50 million in 2020.

3D Printing Materials Market Dynamics

3D Printing Materials Market Dynamics

Major Drivers

3D printing offers a reduction in manufacturing process wastes, cost-effectiveness, improved designs, and simplification of complex designs, which is likely to fuel the market during the forecast period. Reduction in structural mass, and weight, with improved strength through the use of 3D printing materials, are likely to boost the market.

Existing Restraints

Cost of conversion of raw materials in standard forms such as filaments, liquid, and powder are high which adds up production costs. Prices of 3D printing materials are higher than those used in traditional manufacturing, which is likely to hamper market growth.

Emerging Opportunities

Surge in the use of 3D printers at home, offices, malls, and stores allows users to print low-cost 3D products in less duration, which is a lucrative opportunity for the expansion of the 3D printing materials market. Carbon 3D printers are in huge demand for precision quality printing at high speeds, which is anticipated to create new opportunities for the market players.
