Description
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. The 3D printing metal market is driven by various factors that contribute to its rapid growth and adoption in diverse industries. The 3D printing metal enables the creation of highly intricate and complex geometries that are challenging or impossible to achieve with conventional manufacturing methods. This design freedom opens up new possibilities for product innovation and optimization, particularly in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical, where complex components are essential. Thus, the design freedom and complex geometrics are creating thrust to the 3D printing metal market growth. On the other hand, the high cost of machines may restrain the market growth. The 3D Printing Metals Market is projected to grow at a rate of 24.6% CAGR by 2028.

As in the 3D printing metal market based on material type, the market is segmented into Precious Metals, Commodity Metals, Alloys and Others. Further, the precious metals include titanium, gold, silver, platinum, etc. The titanium product segment accounted for the major revenue share in 2022 and is projected to rise at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. Surging demand for titanium-based products in different industries owing to their properties, such as non-corrosive and high resistance against severe environments, is likely to boost the segment growth. The compatibility of old polymer 3D printers to print semi-metal equipment when mixed with polymers and in the form of filament is further projected to accelerate market growth.
Further in the 3D printing metal market for end user, the market is bifurcated into Hospital, Home Care Setting and Others. The Aerospace & defense segment is likely to exhibit the highest CAGR for the estimated period. Metal 3D printing is used to print fuel nozzles and various critical engine parts which require high accuracy and efficiency in the aerospace & defense industry. 3D printing reduces the overall mass of an aircraft and, thus the fuel waste gets minimized. 3D printing metals are also used to make particular brackets for satellites without changing the mold designs and manufacturing process. The rising demand for critical engineering and fabrication purposes in the aerospace & defense industry is propelling the segment.
In the 3D printing metal market among North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World, the North America is having the dominating position in the market share. This is due to technological innovation in different fields.
