By Product, the Industrial 3D printer segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024

The industrial segment of the global 3D printer market held the largest market share in 2023, projected to persist throughout the forecast period. This dominance is primarily driven by the surging adoption of industrial 3D printers in various industries, including aerospace and defense, automotive, consumer electronics, and healthcare. In aerospace, additive manufacturing through industrial 3D printers is essential for producing intricate components, such as jet engines, injectors, and valves, which are challenging to manufacture using conventional techniques.

By Technology, Fused deposition modeling  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024

In the realm of 3D printing technology, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) emerges as a cost-effective and efficient solution for various applications. This technology operates by heating and extruding thermoplastic filaments, layer by layer, to create parts. FDM is widely utilized in prototyping, production, and modeling sectors due to its versatility and ease of use. Compared to other 3D printing technologies such as Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Stereolithography (SLA), FDM boasts several advantages. It significantly reduces production time as minimal post-processing is required, unlike SLS and SLA. Furthermore, FDM is user-friendly, making it an accessible choice for businesses. The utilization of filaments, such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polylactic acid (PLA), as opposed to costly materials like powder (SLS) and liquid (SLA), further enhances FDM's affordability.

North America is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024

The 3D printer market in North America held the largest market share in the global landscape in 2023, surpassing Europe and the Asia Pacific (APAC) regions. This dominance is attributed to significant government investments and burgeoning demand from sectors such as aerospace and defense, consumer electronics, and healthcare. The region's high potential for additive manufacturing has spurred strategic collaborations among industry players, further fueling market expansion. The increasing investments from both public and private sectors underscore the immense growth prospects of 3D printing technology in North America.
