The 3D Printers Market is expected to reach a value of $50.39 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 31.1% during the forecast period 2022-2029.

The growth of this market is attributed to the rising demand for manufacturing complex parts, the reduced manufacturing expenses and minimized waste, and the improvements in product developments and supply chains.

The study offers a comprehensive analysis of the 3D printers market concerning the type (industrial 3D printers, desktop 3D printers); technology (fused deposition modeling [FDM], selective laser sintering [SLS], stereolithography [SLA], direct metal laser sintering [DMLS], polyjet, multijet fusion [MJF], digital light processing [DLP], binder jetting, electron-beam melting [EBM], directed energy deposition [DED], laser metal fusion [LMF], selective absorption fusion [SAF], and LCD 3D printing); printing material (metal, polymer, ceramics, composites, resins, and other materials); end user (industrial [aerospace & defense, automotive, consumer products, semiconductor & electronics, chemical & materials, medical, energy, research & development, oil & gas, and industrial applications], 3D printing service providers); and geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the country level.

Based on type, the global 3D printers market is segmented into industrial 3D printers and desktop 3D printers. In 2022, the industrial 3D printers segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global 3D printers market. The large market share of this segment is largely attributed to its ability to create functional, full-scale objects ranging from end-use products to high-strength industrial tools. Industrial 3D printers are designed for professional and industrial usages, from rapid prototyping to direct manufacturing.

Based on technology, the global 3D printers market is segmented into fused deposition modeling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography (SLA), direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), polyjet, multijet fusion (MJF), digital light processing (DLP), binder jetting, electron-beam melting (EBM), directed energy deposition (DED), laser metal fusion (LMF), selective absorption fusion (SAF), and LCD 3D printing. In 2022, the fused deposition modeling (FDM) segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global 3D printers market. The major factors contributing to the large market share of this segment are its affordability and capability to create complex and customized shapes for the automotive and aerospace industries. FDM is also used to build durable production parts for low-volume and short-run production applications.

Based on printing material, the global 3D printers market is segmented into metal, polymer, ceramics, composites, resins, and other materials. In 2022, the polymer segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global 3D printers market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to its capability to print low-cost functional parts with diverse properties and capabilities. Polymer is used in several sectors, from 3D printed surgical guides and tools to replicas of human organs for pre-surgical planning.

Based on end user, the 3D printers market is segmented into industrial end users and 3D printing service providers. In 2022, the industrial end users segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global 3D printer market. The large market share of this segment is mainly attributed to the higher usage of 3D printers for printing jigs, fixtures, parts, and spares with reduced complexity and expenditure.

Based on geography, the 3D printers market is segmented into five major regions: Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2022, the Europe region is estimated to account for the largest share of the 3D printers market. The growth of the 3D printers market in Europe is attributed to the rising demand for complex parts in manufacturing, increasing focus on reducing manufacturing expenses, growing need to minimize wastes, rising on-demand spare parts production, and increased customization of products.
