BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated global 3D printing materials market size at USD 2.1 billion in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, BlueWeave expects the global 3D printing materials market size to grow at a robust CAGR of 17.6% reaching a value of USD 6.51 billion by 2029. Major growth drivers for global 3D printing materials market include an increasing need for polymers in 3D printing, a rising demand for mass customization, and government initiatives to encourage and facilitate the adoption of 3D printing. The global 3D printing market is expected to further expand due to the rising demand for 3D printing, as well as the increased demand for better quality materials in various industries such as automotive and aerospace. Also, the use of 3D printing reduces the risk of errors and is highly advantageous for production, leading to an increase in market growth during the forecast period. However, high cost of 3D printing materials, equipment, and maintenance and limited availability of high-quality and specialized 3D printing materials are anticipated to restrain the market growth during the period in analysis.

Global 3D Printing Materials Market - Overview

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process that produces an object in three dimensions using 3D printing materials. Initially, simple thermoplastics and wax were used for 3D printing, but now, diverse materials in powder, liquid, and filament form are widely used. The automotive industry can drive market growth in the future by using technologies such as Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) to create prototypes and end-use components. 3D printing materials and equipment allow speedy prototyping and find their end-users in creating molds, grips, and fixtures. The increasing demand for 3D printing from the aerospace and defense industries will drive 3D printing materials and equipment market share. It offers flexibility in product design and helps in producing highly detailed and sleek models.
