3D printing is one of the latest technological breakthroughs and
is touted by experts to bring about the dawn of the Third Industrial
Revolution. It has myriad uses in a wide variety of industries, including
consumer goods, automotive, healthcare, aerospace, jewelry, and architecture.
Almost every industry requiring design precision can benefit from 3D printing,
due to its capability of automation and customization. Its many advantages are
expected to propel the global market to a total value of over US$20 billion by
2025.
Despite its recent proliferation, 3D printing began in the
1980s. The 2009 expiry of patents that had limited the technology to the upper
echelons of technological progress allowed the production of generic 3D
printers, bringing the technology to the masses as well as the lower rungs of
the hierarchy of global technology giants.
Pricing Factors Restrict Growth, Present Innovation Opportunity
in 3D Printing Market
In its short life in the public domain, so to speak, the primary
constraint on the global 3D
printing market has been the high
costs of high-quality printers. This factor has replicated the effect of the
earlier patents, limiting the usage of 3D printing among a slightly larger
niche than before.
This presents an opportunity for innovation of low-cost 3D
printers. Success in bringing about efficient utilization of raw materials and
technological progression to allow the same will determine the future of the 3D
printing market.
However, this hasn’t stopped the industrial sector from making
use of 3D printing on a large scale and this expected to remain a major factor
boosting demand from the global 3D printing market. Industries such as
healthcare, jewelry, architecture, and automotive are expected to drive the 3D
printing market.
Dentistry Applications to Drive
Global 3D Printing Market
Among the healthcare sector’s utilization of 3D printing, valued
at US$141 million, dentistry is a leading end user of 3D printing. The need for
easy production of orthopedic implants in cosmetic and dental reconstruction
surgery means that 3D printing has a huge scope for growth in the healthcare
sector. The market is expected to generate demand worth US$868 million from the
healthcare sector by 2025.
Other major industries using 3D printing are architecture,
jewelry, and design arts, which are expected to show a collective CAGR of 20%
from 2015 to 2025.
The automotive industry is also expected to be a major consumer
of the 3D printing market, due to its usage in the manufacture of automotive
components and other non-design innovations. A prominent example of the latter
is German car giant BMW’s use of 3D printing to produce equipment that helps
factory workers ease the load on their hands. The virtually endless
customizability of 3D printed products is hugely beneficial in the automotive
and aerospace industries.
Key Players of the Global 3D Printing Market
The 3D printing market is dominated by manufacturers such as
ZMorph, Wanhao, Solidscape, EFESTO, Arcam, ExOne, Realizer, Optomec, and
Voxeljet.
Companies such as automotive giants BMW and Ford, aerospace
giants Boeing and Lockheed Martin, and sportswear manufacturer Reebok are some
of the most prominent companies making large-scale use of 3D printing.
