Major trends expected in the forecast period encompass remote assistance and monitoring, integration with mobile technologies, the promotion of contactless and cashless transactions, the utilization of data analytics for customer insights, and seamless integration with loyalty programs.

The anticipated growth in the selective laser sintering market is fueled by an increasing demand for consumer electronics. Consumer electronics, encompassing smartphones, tablets, laptops, TVs, gaming consoles, and wearables, are personal electronic devices witnessing a surge in demand. Selective laser sintering plays a pivotal role in the manufacturing processes of consumer electronics, including smartphones, laptops, and wearables. Notably, Canalys reported a 3.7% year-on-year increase in smartphone shipments in North America in May 2022, with Apple experiencing a 19% growth and securing a dominant market share of 51% in Q1 2022. The rising demand for consumer electronics is a significant driver propelling the selective laser sintering market.

The growth trajectory of the selective laser sintering market is influenced by the rise of 3D printing services. 3D printing services refer to businesses or providers offering the capability to create three-dimensional objects based on digital models. The increasing prevalence of 3D printing service providers offering Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) capabilities makes this advanced technology more accessible to various industries without the need for substantial upfront investments. Projections from a Netherlands-based software company, Wevolver, indicate a 21% increase in global 3D printer growth, reaching $18.3 million in 2022. This surge in 3D printing services contributes significantly to the expansion of the selective laser sintering market.

A noteworthy trend in the selective laser sintering market is the adoption of advanced 3D printing technologies by companies aiming to maintain their market positions. Companies operating in this market are launching innovative 3D printers to sustain competitiveness. For example, in November 2022, India-based Wipro 3D introduced the Wipro 3D F300-2 printer, operating on Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology. This printer offers high-quality 3D printing and incorporates advanced features such as a magnetic print bed, automatic platform leveling, dual filtration, and a self-cleaning nozzle. The inclusion of IoT-enabled dual nozzles allows for control and monitoring capabilities over the internet through various devices.

Major companies in the selective laser sintering market are strategically focused on material development to gain a competitive edge. A notable example is the development of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a versatile polymer belonging to the class of thermoplastic elastomers. TPU combines the characteristics of rubber and plastic, offering unique properties. In October 2023, Italy-based CRP Technology Inc. launched 'Windform TPU,' a rubber-such as material designed for the selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing process. This thermoplastic polyurethane boasts exceptional elasticity, flexibility, impact resistance, and softness, with an elongation at break exceeding 400%.

In March 2023, US-based 3D technology printing company Nexa3D made a strategic acquisition, acquiring XYZ printing for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is pivotal in broadening, diversifying, and enriching Nexa3D's portfolio by incorporating machines from XYZ printing. XYZ printing, a US-based 3D printer manufacturer utilizing selective laser sintering technology, serves a wide range of customers. The acquisition facilitates the integration of technology and distribution services, aligning with the growth trajectory of the selective laser sintering market.
