3dpbm’s Polymer AM market report now available to pre-order

The 3dpbm Polymer AM Market Opportunities and Trends 2020-2030 is now available to pre-order at a discounted price. This 400+ page Polymer AM market report is the fourth and final major chapter of what 3dpbm identifies as the “Core Additive Manufacturing Market”, referring to all hardware, materials and services. With this report, 3dpbm has completed the construction of its database for all core AM market sales data. We will now use the enormous amount of market data we have collected and the database we’ve built over the past 24 months as a solid foundation to begin exploring vertical AM adoption segments.

Following the three previous reports on Composites, Metals and Ceramics, the Polymer AM Report is the largest and also the most in-depth market study ever conducted on Polymer additive manufacturing. Between Q4 2021 and Q3 2022, the 3dpbm Research analyst team (comprising several editors, market analysis specialists, and a project manager) surveyed an unprecedented number of companies—857 in total (741 unique), of which, 24% were hardware manufacturers, 25% materials manufacturers and 51% service providers—and collected first-hand sales data from major stakeholders operating in this segment on thousands of different hardware, materials and parts products.

These companies, which were selected out of over 1,500 potential candidates listed in 3dpbm’s 3D Printing Business Directory, were individually audited for every product (systems, materials, parts) currently on the market, totaling over 50,000 data points and providing an accurate snapshot of the current polymer AM global market.

First-hand data were compared and combined with additional data and information collected by the 3dpbm Research team from all publicly available sources, including day-to-day industry insights coverage via the 3D Printing Media Network portal, an internal asset that no other AM market research company can leverage to this extent. Finally, interviews were conducted with leading AM industry stakeholders and independent consultants to further validate and verify the data, estimates and analyses.

Leading and emerging companies addressed in the report include Stratasys, 3D Systems, EOS, ETEC (Desktop Metal), HP, Carbon, Creality, Formlabs, Materialise, Markforged, Prusa Research, Anycubic, Flashforge, Ultimaker, UnionTech, Mitsubishi, eSun, SABIC, Covestro*, Polymaker, Quickparts, WeNext, Forecast3D, OECHSLER, Protolabs, Shapeways, Fohan, FIT, Prototal and many more.

In addition to supporting the market analysis and development efforts of suppliers, the report is targeted toward companies looking to enter the market and capitalize on developing opportunities. OEMs looking to implement AM for polymer part production will benefit from this study by quickly and accurately understanding currently available technologies, materials and services as well as the benefits and challenges of each. Finally, it serves as a guide for investors looking for the next disruptive production technologies.
