3D printing technology
was introduced to the world in the year 1986, but gained importance from the year 1990. 3D printing is the process, wherein three dimensional solid objects are created from a 3D design. It is an additive process in which an object is created by laying down successive layers of material. Globally, demand for industrial 3D printing is being driven by higher accuracy per inch of part dimension, faster printing speed, and introduction of new materials.
This report identifies the global industrial 3D printing market
size in for the year 2014-2016, and forecast of the same for year 2021. It also highlights the potential growth opportunities in the coming years, while also reviewing the market drivers, restraints, growth indicators, challenges, market dynamics, competitive landscape, and other key aspects with respect to industrial 3D printing market.
Geographically, North America dominated the global industrial 3D printing market owing to higher usage of industrial 3D printing in the major industrial manufacturing, aerospace & Defense, and healthcare companies located in the U.S. In addition, financial support from the government and continuous technological advancements are also fuelling the growth in North America. North America is followed by Europe and Asia Pacific in terms of market share in 2015 in the global Industrial 3D Printing. Demand for the Industrial 3D Printing is expected to grow the fastest in the Asia Pacific region due to increasing extensive industrial base, government initiatives, and funding in R&D. Automotive end-use segment dominated the globaly Industrial 3D printing market.
