  Market Growth Factors

  Globally, the 3D printing market continues driving innovation for hardware and software. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are being integrated into 3D printing to help increase the accuracy and speed of designs. An AI algorithm developed by Washington State University in 2024 uses Bayesian Optimization to manufacture complicated 3D structures such as synthetic organs and flexible electronics, with less production time and costs.

  Sustainability is also a driver, as eco-friendly processes in line with sustainability goals are emerging such as the use of bio-based materials such as new bio-inks derived from microalgae, for example, showing potential for material development. As a result, there are many opportunities to improve performance and environmental impact through green manufacturing.

  3D printing may also be driven by the expansion of existing industries, e.g. the automotive industry will invest USD 323 Billion in electric vehicles by 2070, with revenues expected to rise to USD 9.6 Trillion and demand for automotive 3D printed parts. Increased use of AM in the medical industry to make bespoke medical devices, and in aerospace to make lightweight and complex components, including due to increasing need for customization and creation of parts on demand to cut waste and costs, are other drivers of industry expansion.
