DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "3D Printing Plastics Market Report 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This 3D Printing Plastics market report covers market characteristics, size & growth, segmentation, regional & country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market's historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The 3D printing plastics market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.15 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing automotive sector, regulatory approvals, rising defense and military sector, growing construction activities.

Major trends in the forecast period include metal-plastic hybrid printing, eco-friendly and biodegradable 3D printing plastics, mass customization, AI and generative design, collaboration among companies.

The escalating number of dental procedures is also forecasted to propel the growth of the 3D printing plastics market in the future. These procedures encompass a wide range of medical interventions conducted by dental professionals to diagnose, prevent, or treat various oral health conditions. 3D printing plastics play a vital role in such procedures by creating custom dental implants, crowns, bridges, and orthodontic devices with precision and patient-specific designs. For instance, according to NHS Digital in August 2022, dentists in the UK performed 24,272 dental activities in 2021-22, representing an increase of 539 activities from the preceding year. This growing number of dental procedures is significantly contributing to the expansion of the 3D printing plastics market.

Product innovation stands as a prominent trend driving advancements in the 3D printing plastics market. Companies within this sector are keen on developing innovative products using the latest technologies to meet the rapidly expanding industry demands and fortify their market presence worldwide. For instance, in February 2021, Nexa3D, a USA-based producer of ultrafast stereolithography production 3D printers, collaborated with Henkel to introduce a new class of photoplastics specifically designed for 3D printing, showcasing the ongoing innovation and development in the industry.

Major companies operating in the 3D printing plastics market are focusing on innovating products, such as the FDM ABS-CF10 (fused deposition modeling acrylonitrile butadieneatyrene carbon fiber), to provide reliable services to customers. FDM ABS-CF10 (fused deposition modeling Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Carbon Fiber) materials are used as 3D printing plastics for drill guides, end effectors, and locating tools. For instance, in March 2024, Stratasys Ltd., a US-based additive manufacturing company, launched FDM ABS-CF10. FDM ABS-CF10 is a carbon fiber-infused thermoplastic material used in 3D-printed carbon fiber tools for strong, rigid end effectors and fixtures. This combines the benefits of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) with the stiffness of carbon fiber, resulting in a strong, stiff, and lightweight material.

In April 2023, Stratasys, a US-based additive manufacturing company, acquired Covestro's additive manufacturing materials business for €43 million. This acquisition is intended to strengthen Stratasys's capabilities in creating next-generation materials for 3D printing. Covestro AG, a manufacturer based in Germany, specializes in high-quality polymer materials, including those used for 3D printing.

Major companies operating in the 3D printing plastics market include 3D Systems, Stratasys., Arkema, Electro Optical Systems, Evonik Industries, Carbon Inc., Desktop Metal, Divergent Group, Fast Radius, Formlabs, General Electric, Glowforge, Hewlett-Packard, Markforged, SprintRay, 3D Fortify, Optomec, Ultimaker, XYZprinting, Covestro, Badische Anilin- und Sodafabrik, Henkel, Solvay, Saudi Basic Industries, DuPont de Nemours, Shenzhen eSUN Industrial, Huntsman, CRP Technology and Materialise.
