Posted on November 8, 2021

According to the latest analysis by Emergen Research, the global non-metal 3D printing market size is forecast to exceed USD 5,055.9 Million in terms of revenue from USD 853.2 Million in 2019, delivering a CAGR of 24.7% through 2027. The market growth is driven by increasing emphasis on fabrication of intricate and lightweight components, along with reduced waste generation during manufacturing.

3D printing is observing accelerated demand due to benefit of substituting longer lead-time and cost-prohibition in Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) manufacturing, aiding reduced production costs, especially in the production process involving intricate components and parts. Moreover, increased adoption of in-house 3D prototyping to avert data leaks or Intellectual Property (IP) violations will foster non-metal 3D printing market revenue share through 2027. Furthermore, increased application of 3D non-metal printing in consumer products, reduction in development cost, errors and overall time will foster market size over the forecast period.
