Discovered in the 1980s, the three-dimensional printing, commonly known as additive manufacturing, has drastically changed the perception of the manufacturing process. The 3D printing technology uses a printer and a digital file to produce objects. The digital file is technically known as computer-aided design and is made according to the print requirement, materials type, and printer used to manufacture the printed product. According to material type, the market is majorly divided into plastics, photopolymers, metals, ceramics, and others that include metal–plastic composites and carbon fibers. Further, the metal segment of the 3D printing metals market is divided into precious metals (titanium, gold, silver, platinum, etc.), commodity metals (aluminum, copper, stainless steel, etc.), and alloys. Rapid prototyping for increasing the design efficiency has attracted OEM manufacturers, design hobbyists, and industrialists to opt for the 3D printing technology. Thus, a fair amount of 3D printing metals is demanded from the automotive and aerospace application industries.

Research Methodology

The 3D Printing metals has been analyzed by utilizing the optimum combination of secondary sources and in-house methodology along with an irreplaceable blend of primary insights. The real-time assessment of the market is an integral part of our market sizing and forecasting methodology, wherein our industry experts and panel of primary participants helped in compiling the best quality with realistic parametric estimations. Further, the participation share of different categories of primary participants is given below:



The 3D printing technology has drastically reduced the material wastage, thereby adhering to save the environmental policy, which makes it a more viable option for the end-users. The main application areas of 3D printing metal materials are in aerospace & automotive, healthcare & medical, commercial/industrial equipment manufacturers, and consumer products/electronics among others.

Globally, the demand for 3D printing metal materials is high in economically developed countries, whereas the developing regions are catching up the pace. Extensive consumption of metal materials comes from aerospace and automotive domains due to changing product designs from time to time. Further, the light weight of OEM components for better fuel efficiency to reduce carbon footprint is an additional factor boosting the exponential growth for the 3D printing metals market in the next 5 years.

The regional demand for 3D printing metals is consistently growing, especially in the European and North American regions. This growth is supported by lucrative, fast-growing technological industries, and the growing manufacturing market in these regions. Currently, North America is the global leader in the 3D printing metals market from the demand side. North America has the highest adoption of 3D printing technology due to higher literacy rate and the availability of skilled labor. The US, which is the predominant region in North America, has the advantage of having most of the manufacturing and consumption markets, thus providing the maximum contribution to the 3D printing metals market in the region. Europe is not far behind North America in terms of 3D printing metal materials consumption value. From the supplier side, Europe followed by Asia Pacific are the market leaders in the 3D printing metals market. The European market is also witnessing a capital influx in 3D printing technology from Tier 1 companies, which is increasing the regional competition.
