Market Segment Insights
The ink segment is projected to expand at a high CAGR
Based on forms, the market is segregated into powder, ink, and filament. The ink segment is projected to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period as a result of enhanced research and development as well as expenditures in the development of smart inks. These inks allow 3D printed structures to alter shape and color, hence improving their utility. Furthermore, researchers are concentrating on providing low-cost choices for manufacturing crucial elements in fields like energy and biomechanics.
The filament segment held around 65% of the total market share in 2021. Only two diameters, 1.75mm and 3mm, are manufactured and marketed. Various qualities of filament combined with a surge in demand from a variety of application industries including disposable clothing, upholstery, tableware, and food packaging, are estimated to drive the segment.
The polyamide/nylon segment is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period
On the basis of types, the market is fragmented into polylactic acid, polyamide/nylon, ABS & ASA, photopolymers, and others. The polyamide/nylon segment is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. Polyamide is another name for nylon (PA). Nylon has a high melting point than other materials, making it an excellent choice for a variety of applications. Furthermore, it has good anticorrosive qualities, making it tolerable for use with various materials such as paper, which have poor gas resistance.
The photopolymers segment held major market share in 2021. Photopolymers are liquid combinations of monomer, polymer base, and oligomers, as well as a photoinitiator, that can be dissolved in water. They're light-sensitive polymeric materials with physical and chemical properties that change when exposed to light.
The prototyping segment accounted for a major market share
Based on applications, the market is segregated into manufacturing, prototyping, and others. The prototyping segment accounted for a major market share. Plastics for 3D printing are mostly used in prototyping to demonstrate the appearance of 3D-printed objects. The prototyping application is extremely helpful in increasing 3D printing adoption in a variety of industries, including construction, automotive, education, healthcare, healthcare, and aerospace & military.
The medical segment accounted for a key market share in 2021
In terms of end-users, the market is divided into consumer goods, aerospace & defense, automotive, and medical. The medical segment accounted for a market share of around 45% in 2021.
