Automotive 3D Printing Market Report by Component Type (Hardware, Software, Service), Technology Type (Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Stereo Lithography (SLA), Digital Light Processing (DLP), Electronic Beam Melting (EBM), Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)), Material Type (Metal, Polymer, Ceramic), Application (Production, Innovation and R&D, Prototyping), and Region 2024-2032
The global automotive 3D printing market size reached US$ 3.2 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 14.8 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 18.2% during 2024-2032.
Three-dimensional (3D) printing refers to automated additive manufacturing technology that assists in creating rapid prototypes for fabricating layer-by-layer materials to design patterns, physical models, and tooling components. It aids in creating various lightweight intricate geometric pieces, including internal channels and wire mesh, reducing prototyping cost and manufacturing complex parts, while ensuring minimal wastage of materials. On account of these properties, 3D printing is extensively used in the automotive sector to enable automobile designers to validate prototypes, conceptualize, design and customize vehicle parts in a shorter period. At present, it is commercially available in metal, polymer and ceramics material types.
Automotive 3D Printing Market Trends:
The significant expansion in the automotive sector, along with the increasing demand for lightweight materials to enhance fuel efficiency in automobiles is primarily driving the market growth. Automotive 3D printing solution is widely adopted in the sector for manufacturing various complex parts of vehicles, while reducing lead time, which represents a key factor primarily driving the market growth. This can be attributed to the various advantages, such as reduced capital investments and high performance, associated with the deployment of automotive 3D printing systems. In line with this, the introduction of fused deposition modelling (FDM) solutions for manufacturing prototypes and concept model parts is acting as another major growth-inducing factor. The computer-aided system assists in deriving inputs from the processing unit, which further commands the model to start printing materials that are usually made from high-performance thermoplastics. Other factors, such as the emerging trend of customized automotive parts and extensive strategic collaborations amongst key players and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for introducing innovative automotive 3D printing systems to meet the evolving consumer needs, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
