3D printing also popularly known as additive manufacturing is a technology that 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. The market segmentation according to materials type is divided into commodity polymers, performance polymers, biodegradable, elastomers and others. The main application areas of 3D printing plastic materials are in aerospace & defence, automotive, healthcare, consumer products and others (medical, commercial/industrial, etc.)

Research Methodology

The 3D Printing plastic 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:



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

Europe and North America are the leading shareholders in the 3D printing plastics market. North America has the highest market share by value due to high adoption and literacy rate of 3D printing technology. The availability of high skilled labors in the US makes 3D printing technology the most preferred choice among others. The market growth is further backed up by rapid industrialization in these developed regions. Currently, North America is the global leader in the 3D printing plastics market from the demand side. The European region on the other hand has an advantage of having most of the manufacturing and consumption markets, thus providing the maximum contribution to the 3D printing plastics market. From the supplier side, Europe followed by Asia Pacific are the market leaders in the 3D printing plastics. The European market is also witnessing a capital influx in 3D printing technology from Tier 1 companies, which is increasing the regional competition.
