Additive Manufacturing Materials Market Analysis

The Additive Manufacturing and Materials Market size is estimated at USD 95.27 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 244.05 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 20.7% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Production companies of all sizes currently view Additive Manufacturing as an essential component of their factories. With additive manufacturing, industries can manufacture finished goods that are stronger, lighter, and redesigned to have fewer parts while overcoming supply chain interruption.

  • Industrial 3D printing technology is essential for factories to operate in plug-and-play mode. According to a survey by Sculpteo, 41% of the companies confirm that Additive Manufacturing has helped them complete their task more efficiently while improvising their process. 59% of users desire to use more sustainable materials, driven by the increasing number of bio-based materials in recent years. At the same time, 47% of 3D printing reduces the need for multiple resources because some designs are 'impossible' to achieve using traditional techniques.
  • Additive Manufacturing is used widely in many industries, and the aerospace industry was the first to embrace 3D printing. In healthcare, medical devices and dentistry use 3D printing in items such as dental prostheses, inlays, and other implants. For further developments in 3D printing, imaging methods will measure the patient's knee or jaw and then send a CAD blueprint of the required implant directly to the 3D printer, which will immediately start building it.
  • The Covid-19 pandemic allowed 3D printing to rise to the challenge. The rapid production of 3D-printed face masks and shields was possible using this technology. When new 3D printing materials, machines, and additive manufacturing techniques enter the market, companies proficient in 3D printing architectures can expand their services as the industries will approach them for innovative skills.
  • UK-based Bently Motors adopted 3D printing with an investment of 3 million USD. This investment was used in multi-jet fusion technology and FDM machines. With powder-based technology, the automotive player could manufacture a batch of parts in a day and a half, thereby increasing its productivity compared to its counterparts.
