Global Automotive 3D Printing Market Size, Share, and Trends Analysis Report, By Technology Type (Stereolithography, Selective Laser Sintering, Selective Laser Melting, Direct Metal Laser Sintering, Electron Beam Melting, Fused Deposition Modelling, Laminated Object Manufacturing, and 3 Dimensional Inkjet Printing), By Material Categorization Type (Metal Based, Polymer Based, Alloys Based, and Other Manufacturing Materials), Forecast (2022-2028)

The global automotive 3D printing market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of nearly 22.0% during the forecast period (2022-2028). Automotive 3D Printing is the process of producing three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The major factor expected to drive the market is the rising innovation in new printing materials for 3D printing, the development of new technologies, and the low cost of development. In addition, rise in the number of R&D activities across the globe, investment in automotive technology, by manufacturers as they are focusing on lightweight vehicles to decrease fuel consumption and low emission are some factors encouraging the growth of the market. The government investments in 3D printing-related R&D projects, and use of 3D printing during initial stages of automotive production as designers can identify errors or defects from built prototype along with the growth of the heavy engineering industry, need for minimizing emissions, are further driving the global automotive 3D printing market during the forecast period.

Some major players in the market include 3D Systems Corp., Materialise NV, and Stratasys Ltd., among others. The market players are contributing significantly to the growth of the market by the adoption of various strategies including mergers & acquisitions, geographical expansion, partnerships and collaborations, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in September 2021, Proto Labs, Inc. entered into a partnership with RS Components. The partnership is to offer a new comprehensive 3D printing service. Further, in November 2021, the company announced the opening of a new production facility that will expand the 3D printing capacity by 60%. Furthermore, in October 2021, UpNano GmbH announced two new resins for usage with its 2-photon polymerization(2PP) 3D printing technology that has been developed by a Vienna-based manufacturer, UpNano.
