Form Type
The market is segmented as filament, liquid, and powder. Powders own a promising growth during the forecast period as they have been highly used by various end-users. Another factor contributing to the growth of powders is the mounting demand for laser sintering technology for commercial applications.
On the other side, liquid ceramics, in the form of pastes and gels, are employed for the production of several products by adopting stereolithography techniques, which is extensively utilized for prototyping applications. On the flip side, however, the growth opportunities for ceramic filaments remain very narrow comparatively, as having been sponsored by only a limited number of players.
End-User Type
The market is segmented as aerospace & defense, healthcare, automotive, consumer goods & electronics, manufacturing & construction, and others. Among all end users, the aerospace & defense segment captured the largest share of the market in 2021. This growth is mainly attributed to the latest technological advancements and invention of new materials for prototyping as well as production in the aerospace & defense sector.
The use of ceramics in the healthcare sector, for manufacturing several medical products, such as dentures, surgical equipment, prosthetics & implants, and tissue engineering products, is endorsing the applicability of 3D printing ceramics. Further, the increasing demand for high-quality 3D printing ceramics that are certified by various governing bodies for medical applications is again bolstering the growth of the market for 3D printing ceramics in the healthcare sector.
Region Analysis
North America is estimated to lead the market during the forecast period, driven by the increasing use of ceramics by diverse end-use industries in this region. Another reason for the growth of the North American market is the promotion of 3D printing ceramics by major companies located in the region.
On the other hand, the market in the Asia-Pacific region is likely to witness the highest growth in the coming five years, owing to the snowballing production activities in the automotive and the consumer goods & electronics sectors. China and India are the growth engines of the Asia-Pacific region.
