Global 3D Printing Plastics Market Insights

3D Printing Plastics Market size was valued at USD 0.78 billion in 2021 and is poised to grow from USD 0.97 billion in 2022 to USD 5.4 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 24% in the forecast period (2023-2030).

Plastics can be used in 3D printing to create solid objects in three dimensions. These substances are made in a variety of forms, such as liquids, powders, and solids. Plastics used for 3D printing are becoming more and more popular all around the world due to their high density and effectiveness. These materials are used for a variety of home, commercial, and aviation applications. The market is anticipated to grow significantly over the anticipated period as 3D printing technology gains traction. The rise in demand for 3D-printed plastic among manufacturing and production companies is projected to create new business opportunities for this market in the coming years.

The growth of the global 3D printing plastics market is positively affected by the increase in commercial product manufacturing. In addition, the market for plastics in 3D printing is primarily driven by the growth of aircraft manufacturing sector. Plastics for use in 3D printing are highly sought after in the production of three-dimensional solid matter and electric devices, which aids in enhancing their style and functionality, hence driving the global market to expand. These polymers' demand is increasing as a result of advantageous properties such high permeability and density. However, changes in the price of the raw materials used to generate 3D printed plastics may create a challenging environment for market players to generate notable revenues.
Over the past few years, the use of plastics in 3D printing has significantly risen in the US for making prototypes. The adoption of additive manufacturing for high-volume production is also anticipated to increase among manufacturers. Since manufacturers are using additive manufacturing technology to build new components for the aftermarket industry, there are numerous lucrative market opportunities inside this industry.

In the 3D printing industry, photopolymers are frequently used because they enable easier customization and produce high-resolution products. Additionally, a simpler post-process, such as painting, gluing, cutting, and other processes, is permitted for the manufactured end product. SLA printing, DLA printing, MJM, and Polymer are a few of the prominent photopolymer 3D printing methods used in the industry.

US 3D Printing Plastics Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

FAQs

3D Printing Plastics Market size was valued at USD 0.78 billion in 2021 and is poised to grow from USD 0.97 billion in 2022 to USD 5.4 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 24% in the forecast period (2023-2030).

The market for 3D printing plastics is fairly fragmented, with a significant number of large and medium-sized businesses accounting for the majority of shares. The large businesses are pursuing a variety of tactics, such as mergers and acquisitions, strategic agreements, and contracts, as well as creating, experimenting with, and offering more efficient 3D printing plastic solutions. Increase in investments of advanced technology and new product launches are further projected to propel players to fight for the top position in the future market competition. 'Stratasys Ltd.', '3D Systems Corporation', 'Materialise NV', 'Arkema SA', 'BASF SE', 'Dow Chemical Company', 'Evonik Industries AG', 'SABIC', 'EOS GmbH', 'Royal DSM N.V.', 'Clariant AG', 'CRP Group', 'Envisiontec GmbH', 'Solvay SA', 'Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation', 'HP Inc.', 'Henkel AG & Co. KGaA', 'Proto Labs, Inc.', 'Ultimaker BV', 'Formlabs, Inc.'

3D printing technology is the  most important disruptive technology. Its customer base is steadily expanding in the electrical and electronics, automotive, healthcare, and aerospace and military sectors. It is anticipated that a greater use of 3D printing technology in these sectors will enhance demand for 3D printing supplies such 3D printing polymers. However, as more companies around the world offer 3D printing plastics, there is a sufficient supply to meet the rising demand from a variety of industries without the need for middlemen.

Widening Portfolio of Key Players:  The rapid spread of 3D printing technology across a wide range of industries to enable digital manufacturing over more conventional manufacturing processes like injection molding and subtractive composition. 

The market was dominated by North America in 2022, and is further anticipated to remain in this position during the forecast period. This is attributed to the rising geriatric population in the country and the promising developments in the aerospace and medical sectors in North America. Government funding for research and development as well as increasing government measures to encourage 3D printing will hasten its uptake and augment demand for the equipment and materials used in the process. The market's growth in North America is also expected to be aided by the presence of major industry players in this region, such as Stratasys, 3D System Corporation, and others.
