17 December 2018

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The "3D Printing Plastics Market by Type, Form, End-Use Industry, Application, and Region - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The 3D printing plastics market is estimated at USD 615.8 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 1,965.3 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 26.1% between 2018 and 2023.

Factors such as an increase in supply with forward integration from major polymer companies, increase in demand from end-use industries for production activities, development of application-specific plastic grades, and government initiatives, worldwide to support the adoption of 3D printing plastics across industries drive the market. Environmental concerns for consumption of plastics is one the major restraints for the market.

Based on type, the 3D printing plastics market has been segmented into photopolymer, ABS, PLA, polyamide, and others. The market is projected to be dominated by the photopolymer segment, as photopolymer comprises most of the polymer grades in resin form.

Based on form, the 3D printing plastics market has been segmented into filament, liquid/ink, and powder. The powder segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period, with increasing demand for laser sintering technology. The filament segment is expected to dominate the market for 3D printing plastics, owing to its wide use in general and commercial applications.

Based on application, the 3D printing plastics market has been segmented into prototyping, manufacturing, and others. The manufacturing segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, with the increasing use of 3D printing plastics in the end-use industries such as aerospace & defense and healthcare. The prototyping segment is expected to dominate the market for 3D printing plastics, owing to the use of 3D printing technology for the development of prototypes.

Based on end-use industry, the 3D printing plastics market has been segmented into healthcare, aerospace & defense, automotive, electrical & electronics, and others. The healthcare segment is expected to dominate the market for 3D printing plastics, owing to their use in medical devices & equipment, orthopedic & dental implants, and others.
