Materials suppliers are poised to capitalise on this unmet demand, with the 3D printing materials market to be worth $16B in 2028. This rapid growth is analysed, and implications evaluated in the latest market intelligence report from IDTechEx Research: 3D Printing Materials 2018-2028: Technology and Market Analysis. As metal powders and photosensitive resins have the highest price points of all 3D printing materials, they will continue to generate the most annual revenue over the next ten years. Start-up Carbon, recently valued at $1.7 billion, has been the subject of much media focus for diversifying the range of 3D printing polymeric materials. While these materials may offer alternative technical capabilities, proprietary materials are renowned for their high price point, a barrier that may drive consumers eager to find cost-effective solutions elsewhere. 3D Printing Materials 2018-2028: Technology and Market Analysis shares insights into the main established material classes compatible with 3D printing including Photosensitive Resins, Thermoplastic Powders, Thermoplastic Filaments, Metal Powders, Metal Wire and Ceramic Powders. Readers of this new report by IDTechEx will gain a comprehensive view of 3D printing material types, applications and market demand.
