3D Printing Metals Market Share: By Form Type
Based on the form type, the market is segmented as powder and filament. The powder form dominated the 3D printing metals market in 2019, and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period. The extensive use of spherical powder particles as pure form of metals in additive manufacturing is driving its demand in industries, including automotive, aerospace & defense, and medical.
3D Printing Metals Market Share: By Metal Type
Based on the metal type, the 3D printing metals market is segmented as titanium, aluminum, nickel, stainless steel, silver, gold, and others. Titanium dominates the market, owing to its properties such as lightweight, high tensile strength, and superior heat resistance. Due to its high strength and biocompatibility, titanium is the preferred material for aerospace engine components and orthopedic & dental implants.
3D Printing Metals Market Share: By End-Use Industry Type
Based on the end-use industry type, the market is segmented as aerospace & defense, automotive, and medical & dental. Aerospace & defense accounted for the largest share of the market and is expected to witness the highest growth in the next five years. The increasing demand from aerospace engine component manufacturers due to 3D printing’s high precision, accuracy, and ability to print complex geometries is likely to propel the market for 3D printing of metals.
3D Printing Metals Market Share: By Region
In terms of regions, North America is estimated to remain the largest market for 3D printing of metals during the forecast period. Being the hub for major aerospace and defense component manufacturers and early adopter of modern techniques is expected to fuel the demand for the 3D printing metals market in the region. Asia-Pacific is expected to register the highest growth in the forecast period with the surging automotive and aerospace & defense industries. The 3D printing market in Asia-Pacific is lagging behind due to initial high technology cost requirement in developing countries.
