Significant 3D Printing Market Drivers

3D Printing Market is primarily driven by increasing demand for prototyping applications from end-use industries such as Healthcare and Aerospace and Defense, government policies supporting the 3D printing industry and development of new-industrial grade 3D printing materials. For instance, Indian government launched National Strategy on Additive Manufacturing, which focusses at creating 100 new start-ups and 500 additive manufacturing products across the country. Through this policy government aims to capture 5% share in the global Additive Manufacturing Market in the coming 2-3 years, such initiatives are increasing growth opportunities for 3D Printing Market.

3D printing is gaining popularity in the market because it is helping companies to reduce manufacturing cost and process downtime and developing customized products. 3D printing is benefitting enterprises in prototyping and designing structure and end products, which has enabled companies to offer products at reasonable prices. Fall in the prices of prices of additive manufacturing machines, increasing adoption of advanced technologies by manufacturers such as robotics and machine learning, rise in research and development activities and surge in the demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles in developing countries, are supplementing the 3D Printer Market growth. Disruptions in the global supply chain, has opened new opportunities for the 3D printing Market. Healthcare industry was severely impacted during Covid-19, due to insufficient availability of raw materials to produce medical devices. As a result, manufactures were looking for alternatives techniques to produce face masks and personal protective equipment and they adopted 3D printing owing to its fast-prototyping capabilities, which helped them to address shortage of these medical supplies. However, lack of trained professionals is restricting the growth of 3D Printing Market.
