Drivers
Government investments in 3D printing projects
Governments all over the world are undertaking initiatives and providing funding to educational institutions, research centers, and research and technology organizations to further explore the opportunities offered by 3D printing technology and encourage developments in the technology. Countries such as the US, the UK, and Canada have implemented national programs for promoting the university-level 3D printing research, which is driving technological advancements and the establishment of start-ups. The emergence of new applications for 3D printing has attracted industrialists and governments across the world toward the technology.
Reduced manufacturing costs and time to market
A extensive range of 3D printing technologies are being used to grow prototypes for use across industries—for instance, filament-based fused deposition modeling (FDM) that creates plastic prototypes; laser-curing processes that make parts from photopolymer resins; and powder bed fusion machines that produce fully dense metal and plastic components. Among these technologies, selective laser sintering (SLS) and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) can cut costs through accelerated production; reduced tooling costs and work in process; less waste; and parts that remain strong despite being lightweight.
Opportunities
Emerging applications in manufacturing sector
SLS has been in the market for long; it was a patented technology until 2014. Since 2015, there have been considerable advancements in the technology, and SLS-based equipment has evolved. The industrial usage of SLS equipment has also increased and enhanced in the past 3 years. There have been several advancements in printers and printing technologies, and printing materials, and developments in the skill set of the workforce. Additionally, the selective laser sintering equipment market for metal-based SLS equipment is expected to grow in the near future. This is due to the growing use of metal-based printers across aerospace and medical devices industries. Within the medical devices or healthcare industry, SLS equipment is expected to be used for the 3D printing of surgical instruments. Hence, further advancements in SLS technology will offer opportunities for players in the SLS equipment market.
SLS equipment market in APAC to grow at highest CAGR during forecast period
The SLS equipment market in APAC is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period driven by the increasing adoption of SLS equipment in several verticals, such as consumer goods, aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and jewelry.
