The global 3D printing plastics market was valued at USD 748.8 million in 2018 and is expected to contribute USD 2,368.4 million in 2026, growing at a cumulative annual growth rate of 16.4% during the forecast period.
3D printing of plastics is an effective method and widely used for the production of components and parts in various sectors such as automotive, consumer electronics and pharmaceuticals. ABS and PLA are commonly used materials in 3D printing of plastics. Considering the current scenario, the consumer goods are emerging significantly in the implementation of 3D plastic products in order to minimize the lead time provided by additive manufacturing techniques.
The development of the 3D printing plastics market is motivated mainly by increasing demand from the automotive and aerospace industries, the latest developments in the additive manufacturing sector and favourable public support. In addition, the increasing adoption of 3d bio-based printing grades across developed countries is anticipated to generate possibilities for producers in the worldwide market over the forecast period. The industry benefits mainly from favourable public assistance in developing nations such as China, India, and Mexico. In addition, 3D printed products make a significant contribution to achieving economies of scale through the use of less lead time, decreased costs and mitigated hazards. This expected to lead the demand and sales of 3D printing plastics and further create opportunities in the global market in the coming years.
However, the high costs associated with the manufacturing of the 3d printed products are expected to hinder the growth of the global 3D printing plastics market.
