The healthcare additive manufacturing market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $27.28 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to Growing prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing investments in healthcare innovation, advancements in bioprinting technology, rising demand for personalized and patient-specific solutions, integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning, expanding applications in regenerative medicine, and growing healthcare expenditure globally. Major trends in the forecast period include Integration of advanced biomaterials, development of on-demand 3D-printed pharmaceuticals, increased use of wearable health monitors, collaboration between tech companies and healthcare providers, expansion into new therapeutic areas like oncology and neurology, emergence of point-of-care manufacturing solutions, and enhanced focus on sustainable and eco-friendly production practices.

The rise in orthopedic procedures is expected to drive growth in the healthcare additive manufacturing market going forward. Orthopedic procedures encompass both surgical and non-surgical treatments aimed at addressing issues within the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. The growing demand for these procedures is fueled by an aging population experiencing joint degeneration and an increase in sports-related injuries requiring surgical intervention. Healthcare additive manufacturing enhances orthopedic procedures by enabling the creation of customized implants and prosthetics, ensuring a precise fit and improved outcomes, and facilitating quicker recovery and better surgical planning. For example, a report published by GOV.UK in December 2023 revealed that in the financial year 2022-2023, 102,025 orthopedic procedures were reported for mandatory surveillance, a 10.2% increase from the 92,608 procedures recorded in the previous year. Consequently, the rise in orthopedic procedures is driving growth in the healthcare additive manufacturing market.

Major companies in the healthcare additive manufacturing market are focusing on advancing their investments in point-of-care 3D medical device manufacturing facilities to enhance personalized treatment options and improve patient outcomes. Point-of-care 3D medical device manufacturing involves producing medical devices directly at or near the site of patient care using 3D printing technology. For example, in June 2024, Ricoh USA Inc., a US-based imaging and electronics company, opened its first Point of Care 3D Medical Device Manufacturing Facility, the RICOH 3D for Healthcare Innovation Studio, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This advanced facility provides clinicians with immediate access to 3D-printed anatomic models, improving surgical planning and patient education in fields such as craniomaxillofacial, orthopedic, and cardiovascular applications. By enabling the rapid creation of patient-specific models from medical images, the facility fosters collaboration among interdisciplinary teams and drives innovation in tailored patient care.

In February 2022, 3D Systems Corporation, a US-based additive manufacturing solutions company, acquired Kumovis GmbH for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, 3D Systems aims to enhance its healthcare additive manufacturing capabilities by leveraging Kumovis' advanced 3D printing technologies tailored for medical devices. This strategic move will enable 3D Systems to expand its portfolio of personalized and customized medical solutions, positioning the company for growth in the healthcare sector. Kumovis GmbH is a Germany-based company that specializes in additive manufacturing solutions tailored for the healthcare sector.
