With the rising advancement in 3D printing technology, the adoption of 3D printers is expected to increase substantially across different sectors. Additionally, high precision, speed and convenient manufacturing offered by 3D printing have already led to strong penetration of 3D printers across electronics, automotive and other industrial applications. This has led to strong demand for high-performance 3D printing materials that offer higher flexibility, durability and stability. With various untapped applications of 3D printing coming up, market players are increasingly focusing on developing high performance, application-specific materials. Currently, plastics, metals and ceramics are most popular used for making objects using 3D printing technology.

The most significant factor fueling the market growth is the rapidly growing penetration of 3D printing technology across different applications. 3D printing has found crucial application across segments such as healthcare and aerospace. These applications require high precision products along with high-performance materials. As a result, companies operating in the market are now increasing their focus towards the development of their own materials, so as to provide an entire product suite.

Considering the strong potential of 3D printing, various global tech giants are heavily investing upon the technology through the acquisition of other players in the market. Subsequently, the 3D printing materials market is estimated to register exponential growth worldwide in the coming years. Nevertheless, major factor hindering the market growth is the high initial cost especially in the case of the individual user. The software tools required for operating 3D printing too are costly making the overall manufacturing process inflated. In addition, 3D printing requires skilled labor which becomes a challenge for industry growth. This may ultimately hamper the market growth for materials.
