3D Printing Market

Covid Impact:

  • Other than the COVID-related dip during 2020, the 3DP/AM market continues to grow steadily, having topped a $5B quarterly base in Q4 2021. In times of global market uncertainty, additive manufacturing represents a rather insulated pocket in terms of market activity.
  • Supply chain disruptions have continued to impact revenue performance across industries and markets, in turn creating demand for additive manufacturing. Partially to this end, the Services represents the largest portion of the whole 3DP/AM market. Materials and Hardware are similar in size at the moment, and Software is the smallest, but fast-growing segment.

Recent Developments

  • October 2022: AML3D Australian metal 3D printing expanded its partnership with Boing aircraft manufacturer. Boeing tasked AML3D earlier this year with 3D printing aluminum prototype airplane components as part of an intensive testing procedure in which they were tested against the requirements of AS9100D quality assurance for ‘fly’ parts. Building on this contract, it has now been decided to broaden the scope of the project to include the provision of additional 3D-printed components, increasing the agreement’s value by 150%.
  • October 2022: PostProcess Technologies and EOS have launched a distribution relationship to provide EOS clients with a fully automated and sustainable depowering solution. According to PostProcess, the Variable Acoustic Displacement (VAD) technology solution will complement the EOS printer product line and automate gross depowering for 3D printed parts. The partnership makes it easier for consumers to obtain post-printing solutions, allowing for complete process digitization.
  • February 2022 – Imaginarium, one of the global leaders in 3D Printing solutions and advanced manufacturing technology, announced the launch of its desktop and industrial 3D printer range in partnership with 3D printing giant Ultimaker.

Methodology

Research Methodology is the process used to collect information and data for the purpose of making business decisions. The success of a research project is entirely dependent on the research methodology adopted by the company. Research Methodology and Scope We have implemented a mix of primary and secondary research for our market estimate and forecast. Secondary research formed the initial phase of our study, where we conducted extensive data mining, referring to verified data sources such as independent studies, company annual reports, white papers, case studies, government and regulatory published articles, technical journals, magazines, and paid data sources. It was also used to obtain important information about the key players and market classification & segmentation according to industry trends to the bottom-most level, and key developments related to market and technology perspectives. A database of the key industry leaders was also prepared using secondary research.

In the primary research process, various primary sources from both supply and demand sides have been interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information important for respective regions. The primary sources from the supply side included industry experts such as CEOs, VPs, marketing directors, technology and innovation directors, and related executives from key companies and organizations operating in the respective regions. The primary data has been collected through questionnaires, e-mails, and telephonic interviews, end-user surveys, consumer surveys, technology distributors and wholesaler’s surveys.

  • Quantitative methods (e.g. surveys) are best for measuring, ranking, categorizing, identifying patterns and making generalizations
  • Qualitative methods (e.g. interviews) are best for describing, interpreting, contextualizing, and gaining in-depth insight into specific concepts or phenomena
  • Mixed methods allow for a combination of numerical measurement and in-depth exploration.

Market drivers and restraints, along with their current and expected impacts, technological scenario and expected developments, end-use industry trends and dynamics  and consumer behavior trends  these forecasting parameters were considered.

Ethical approach, attention to detail, consistency, latest trend in the market and highly authentic source these are benefits of company’s research methodology.
