The global 3D printing market size is expected to reach a market value of USD 26,808.6 million by 2022, rising at a CAGR of 29.8% during the forecast period (2016-2022).

3D printing, also referred to as additive manufacturing, is a combination of processes used to produce three-dimensional objects. In the case of 3D printing, numerous layers of different kind of printing materials are formed under machine control to create 3-dimensional objects. The 3-dimensional images can be of varied shapes. 3D printing offers integration of metals & alloys with other raw materials as per the requirement of the end-user industry, to create specified 3-dimensional objects. Numerous industrial sectors are impacted by 3D printing solutions. Over the past decade, additive manufacturing technologies have drastically changed the way of designing, development, and manufacturing of industrial goods.

Increasing spending on product development and R&D activities, rising regulatory support by national and local government bodies and growing manufacturing sector are the major drivers for the growth of the 3D printing market. In addition, technological advancement in different end-user industries such as healthcare would provide ample growth opportunity for the adoption of 3D printing for various medical diagnoses. Automakers and suppliers of different types of manufacturing products have realized the benefits of 3D printing solutions. This is eventually increasing the demand for 3D printing solution in these industries. In the automotive industry, 3D printing technologies have introduced new shapes into the industry, allowing the industry to produce lighter and more complex structures at affordable price ranges.
