Advanced technologies such as 3D printing are extensively finding inroads into the automotive industry owing to its high preferabilty for mass production and low risk of errors. It is increasingly being used for additive manufacturing of automotive components such as front bumpers, suspension wishbones, ducting, battery covers, and others.
Hence, demand for high-performance materials for the production of aforementioned components is anticipated to create high revenue-generation opportunities in the market.
As per FMI, North America is estimated to emerge as the dominant market in terms of region, expanding at 14% CAGR through 2031. Increasing utilization of 3D printing technology for the construction of buildings across the U.S. and Canada is favoring the sales of 3D printing materials.
In terms of material-type, metals are projected to remain highly sought-after materials in the market, projecting sales growth by 11.5% year-on-year (YoY) between 2020 and 2021. Surging demand for cobalt-nickel alloys, steel, and titanium in 3D printing owing to their durability, strength, and low carbon emission attributes is driving the growth in the segment.
“Rising application scope of 3D printing technology across aerospace and defense sector to benefit from superior quality production, reduced production time, and declined labor cost is expected to accelerate the growth in the market,” says a FMI analyst.
