Detailed analysis and profiling of additional market players (up to five)
The 3D printing ceramics market was valued at USD 27.8 Million in 2015 and is projected to reach USD 131.5 Million by 2021, at a CAGR of 29.6% between 2016 and 2021. Major factors driving the growth of the 3D printing ceramics market include high demand for 3D printing for dental and orthopedic applications in healthcare industry and in thermal insulation parts in aerospace & defense industry.
The 3D printing ceramics market has been segmented on the basis of type, form, end user, and region. According to end user, the market has been further classified into aerospace & defense, healthcare, automotive, consumer goods & electronics, and manufacturing & construction, among others.
Among all end users, the aerospace & defense segment accounted for the largest share of the 3D printing ceramics market in 2015. This large share is mainly attributed to the latest technological advancements and invention of new materials for prototyping as well as production in the aerospace & defense sector. In the healthcare sector, ceramics are used in several medical products, such as dentures, surgical equipment, prosthetics & implants, and tissue engineering products, thereby propelling the applicability of 3D printing ceramics in this sector. However, growing demand for high-quality 3D printing ceramics that are certified by various governing bodies for medical applications is further driving the market for 3D printing ceramics in the healthcare sector. Ceramics show better properties for biomedical applications such as biodegradability and less hazards with majority of its grades.
Major forms for 3D printing ceramics include powder, liquids, and filaments in which powders are highly used by the end users. The factor driving the growth of powders segment is the increasing demand for laser sintering technology for commercial applications. On the other hand, liquid ceramics in the form of pastes and gels are used in the production of several products using stereolithography techniques which are widely used for prototyping applications. The market for ceramics filaments is very small comparatively and has been promoted by a small number of players.
North America is expected to lead the 3D printing ceramics market during the forecast period owing to the increasing use of ceramics by varied end-use industries in this region. Major companies promoting 3D printing ceramics are based in this region. On the other hand, 3D printing ceramics market in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2016 and 2021. This growth is mainly attributed to the increasing production activities in the automotive and consumer goods & electronics sectors. High R&D investments made by end-use industries in these regions is offering lucrative growth opportunities to key players operating in the 3D printing ceramics market.
Some of the restraints that impact the growth of the 3D printing ceramics materials market include low production volumes in comparison to other materials such as polymers and metals. Also, 3D printing technology has a low acceptance rate in comparison to other production processes.
Leading companies in the 3D printing ceramics market include 3D Systems Corporation (U.S.), Viridis 3D LLC (U.S.), EOS GmbH Electro Optical Systems (Germany), Renishaw Plc (U.K.), Tethon 3D (U.S.), Stratasys Ltd. (U.S.), Lithoz GmbH (Austria), and Cerum 3D (U.S.), among others.
