3D printing construction is a process for printing polymer, concrete, and metals layer by layer using a 3D printer to create construction components or whole buildings. The most frequent type of printer is one that uses a robotic arm to extrude concrete back and forth. Additive welding and power binding are two more 3D printing techniques. Power binding uses 3D printing within a basin of powder, hardening powder layer-by-layer to construct the desired structure.
It is easier to create new designs with complex surfaces with the help of 3D printing construction. Moreover, less materials are used and it also lowers the labor costs. 3D printing construction offers faster construction. All such factors drive the expansion of the global market. Moreover, rise in building and infrastructure investments across the world has created significant growth opportunities for 3D printing construction market that is expected to drive the market forward during the forecast period.
Various market players have implemented strategic moves such as agreement, business expansion and collaboration to boost the 3D printing construction market. For instance, in May 2020, a construction engineering company Skanska collaborated with Lough Borough University, UK to accelerate the use of 3D printing technology. As a result, such strategic moves are anticipated to provide lucrative growth opportunities in the 3D printing construction market growth during the forecast period.
The market is segmented on the basis of construction method, material type, end user, and region. On the basis of construction method, the market is divided into extrusion and power bonding. On the basis of material type, the market is divided into concrete, metal, and composite. On the basis of end user, the market is divided into buildings and infrastructure.

Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “3D Printing Construction Market," the 3D printing construction market size was valued at $1.4 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $750.8 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 87.3% from 2022 to 2031.Construction 3D printing is a process for printing concrete, polymer, metal, or other materials layer by layer using a 3D printer to create construction pieces or full buildings. The most prevalent form of printer is one that uses a robotic arm to extrude concrete back and forth. Furthermore, 3-dimension printers are totally automated, removing the possibility of human mistake. In addition, the rise in government investments in the approaching construction sector expansion is expected to boost the 3D printing construction industry during the forecast period.
Various governments take initiatives to enhance the living standard of citizen. For instance, in June 2019, the plan of UAE government to construct approximately 25% of new buildings in Dubai as per 3D printed buildings technology by 2025. In order to attain this target, government has selected CyBe construction. Hence, these investments are expected to provide significant growth in 3D Printing Construction Market.
North-America accounted for the largest share of the global market and dominated the global 3D printing construction market in terms of revenue in 2021 owing to expansion of residential and commercial sectors. However, Asia Pacific is expected to register highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to increase in R&D investments in developing countries and rise in government investments day-by-day in construction of buildings and infrastructures.
However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, various manufacturers in the 3D printing construction market had to stop their business in countries such as China, the U.S., and India. This break directly impacted the sales of 3D printing construction companies. In addition, lack of manpower and raw materials also constricted supply of equipment for 3D printing construction, which negatively influenced the 3D printing construction market growth. Morever, reopening of production facilities and introduction of vaccines for coronavirus disease are anticipated to lead to re-opening of 3D printing construction companies. By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. In 2021, Asia-Pacific had the highest 3D printing construction market share and is anticipated to secure the leading position during the forecast period, due to extensive demand in the construction & infrastructure segment.
