Summary

The global 3D Printing market size was US$ 5100 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 10671 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 12.3% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
3D printing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The term "3D printing" covers a variety of processes in which material is joined or solidified under computer control to create a three-dimensional object, with material being added together (such as liquid molecules or powder grains being fused together), typically layer by layer.The report mainly focuses on 3D Printing Devices

The main drivers of the 3D printing market include the following:
1. Technological Advancement and Innovation: Breaking through Physical Boundaries and Reshaping Manufacturing Logic
Breakthroughs in Materials Science:
Biogenic and Degradable Materials: BASF launches corn starch TPU, and eSUN develops ePHA (90% degradation rate in 6 months), replacing traditional plastics and reducing carbon emissions by 50%-60%.
High-Performance Engineering Plastics: DuPont's high-temperature PA (above 300°C) and Solvay's PEKK (near-metal strength) meet the stringent requirements of aviation and medical applications.
Smart Materials: 4D-printed photoresponsive self-healing polymers (MIT spin-off) and temperature-controlled deformable PLA (Chinese Academy of Sciences) achieve functional regeneration.
Process Optimization and Equipment Upgrades:
Multi-Material Printing: The Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' hybrid soft and hard material system and Carbon 3D photopolymers enable integrated molding of complex structures.
AI-Driven Design: Autodesk's generative design software reduces the weight of aviation components by 50%, and HP's MJF system increases printing speed by 20% (50-micron resolution). Consumer-grade device adoption: The Formlabs Form 4 price has dropped to the 1,000 yuan mark, and Chuangxiang 3D's "3D Printing Farm" enables distributed manufacturing.
2. Explosive industry demand: Penetrating all scenarios, from high-end manufacturing to mass consumption.
Manufacturing upgrades:
Aerospace: The C919 uses 3D-printed titanium alloy fuel nozzles (reducing weight by 50% and costs by 25%), and Galaxy Power's rocket production cycle has been reduced to one month.
Automotive: BMW uses recycled carbon fiber seat brackets (reducing weight by 30%) and BYD uses battery brackets (reducing weight by 25%) to optimize supply chain efficiency.
Personalized healthcare:
Bioprinting: Organovo functional liver tissue and Materialise customized knee implants (reducing post-operative infection rates by 70%).
Dental and prosthetics: eResin-Medical resin has achieved ISO 10993 certification, reducing the delivery cycle for invisible braces to 48 hours.
Consumer market:
Home customization: Nike's "design-to-produce" model (users print limited-edition sneakers) and the 3D Genius Hub promote maker education. Rapid Reconstruction: Concrete 3D-Printed Houses (Completed in 72 Hours, 60% Less Material Waste).
3. Policy Support and Cost Reduction: Capital Resonance Accelerates Industrialization
Government Support:
China's "14th Five-Year Plan for Intelligent Manufacturing Development" provides special subsidies. Shanghai offers a 30% subsidy on equipment purchases, promoting cost reduction through technology.
Improvement of Industry Standards: The "National Additive Manufacturing Standard System" mandates certification of printed parts in the medical and aviation sectors, forcing standardization.
Domestication of Materials and Equipment:
The qualification rate of domestically produced metal powder (Baowu Group) has reached international standards, reducing costs by 25%; equipment depreciation and maintenance costs have been reduced by 35%.
Annual production of industrial-grade equipment has increased to hundreds of thousands of tons, with unit costs falling by 40%-60%. Consumer-grade equipment prices have fallen to the 1,000 yuan level.

Capital and Industrial Clusters:
Investment and financing in the 3D printing sector will exceed 1.5 billion yuan in 2024 (a 40% year-on-year increase), with the medical sector accounting for 40%. Polylite and Farsoon High-Tech are expanding their metal printing line production. Regional clusters: The Pearl River Delta (consumer electronics), the Yangtze River Delta (aerospace), and Xi'an-Wuhan (metal printing) are forming differentiated competitive advantages.
Driven by technological innovation, exploding demand across all scenarios, and policy and capital investment, the 3D printing market is ultimately undergoing a qualitative transformation from "laboratory" to "production line."
