3D Printing Materials Market
REPORT DESCRIPTION
3D Printing Materials Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast,
2014 - 2020
The 3D printing materials market is fragmented moderately with 3D Systems, Inc., Stratasys Ltd., Voxeljet AG,
and ExOne GmbH accounting for around 70.0% of the total market in 2013. Intense rivalry exists among
manufacturers with respect to product range and price, suggests Transparency Market Research. Thus, to
achieve higher margins, various companies are acquiring other companies or forming strategic partnerships.
Merger activities are also high among regional or local firms so as to increase their market shares. The degree
of competition is likely to remain high in the coming years.
The 3D printing materials market is at its nascent stage and thus, a number of regional players are expected to
enter the market in the coming years, indicating robust growth in the near future. Despite being pitted against
existing players with a strong customer-base, the threat of new entrants is expected to be high in the future,
states a TMR analyst.

Rising Need for 3D Printing in Educational Sector Boosts Demand for 3D Printing Materials
3D printing technology has applications in the automotive, architecture, electronics, consumer goods,
education, and medical sectors. The decreasing cost of 3D printers is one of the main reasons behind their
extensive use in various sectors. Additionally, 3D printers find various applications in the military and defense
sectors, which will heighten the demand for 3D printing materials.
Governments of various nations have increased their funding and are willing to experiment with 3D printing
technology. For instance, the Chinese government has announced US$6.5 mn as research funding for
developing key 3D printing technologies. The Japanese government has announced that it will make use of 3D

printers in educational settings. Similarly, the government in South Korea is expected to have a huge demand
for 5800 3D printers by 2017 for 5,865 schools across the nation. Thus, there will be a heightened demand for
3D printing materials.
High Cost of Materials Restricting Wide-scale Adoption of 3D Printing Materials
The manufacturing of 3D printing materials requires the use of materials such as metals, plastics, and
ceramics. However, it is not possible to print a large variety of products from these aforementioned materials
without additional preparation before being used in a 3D printing machine. This acts as a challenge for players
in the market. Further, the cost of 3D printing materials is very high, which can cause huge losses to
manufacturers during prototyping operations. The high material cost also reduces the profit margin for
manufacturers.
Demand for 3D Scanners to Open New Growth Avenues
The 3D printing industry is continuously re-inventing itself. Some companies have developed 3D scanners
capable of scanning objects in 3D. The availability of 3D printers and scanners is encouraging customers to
scan products at home and print them. The demand for 3D scanners is expected to grow in the future as an
increasing number of consumers need to create their own CAD files. This will also increase the demand for 3D
printing materials and open new doors for companies in the market.
North America to Lead in Global 3D Printing Materials Market
By product, the plastics segment is expected to lead the market in the future and account for 56.8% of the
global printing materials market. Electronics and consumer products was the largest application segment in
2013. On the basis of geography, the global printing materials market was led by North America in 2013,
followed by Europe, and it is expected that the former will continue to lead the market in the future.
