Key Market Trends

Residential Sector to Dominated the Market

  • As a result of rapid urbanization, especially in developing countries, the demand for residential construction is increasing day-by-day.
  • The market for 3D concrete printing in the residential segment has expanded globally, majorly in Asia-Pacific and other emerging economies. The demand for houses is higher than the supply in emerging nations, like South Africa. Moreover, the rise in demand for housing in urban areas has increased, and the government’s National Infrastructural Plan is supporting this growth, with new projects expected in the future.
  • DuBox, modular design, and off-site construction company have already demonstrated UAE’s first, locally 3D-printed concrete building from real-life construction objects. The company partnered with the University of Eindhoven, in the Netherlands, and the engineering consultancy firm, Witteveen+Bos, to achieve this target.
  • During the fifth International Conference for Sustainable Construction Materials, in Dubai, the local government has laid out a plan to have 25% of its buildings 3D-printed, by 2030.
  • The aforementioned factors are expected to drive the demand for 3D concrete printing, during the forecast period.



Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market

  • In Asia-Pacific, China is one of the leading country, emerged as a major 3D concrete printing consumer, due to strong government support, efforts toward standardization, and expanding application segments.
  • The Asia-Pacific construction sector is the largest in the world and is increasing at a healthy rate, owing to the rising population, increase in middle-class income, and urbanization. Increasing infrastructure construction activity is the major driver for the Asia-Pacific construction sector
  • China is expected to serve as the largest market, due to its rapid industrial development and increasing urban population.
  • In addition, the entry of major players from the European Union into the lucrative market of China has further fueled the industry’s expansion.
  • Owing to their business potential, countries, like Indonesia, China, Malaysia, Singapore, and South Korea, have become hosts to numerous national and international events. This move has accelerated the demand for hotels, shopping malls, high-rise buildings, and arenas and stadiums (both outdoor and indoor), thereby boosting the construction industry in the respective regions.
  • Thus, construction activity has been growing in the Asia-Pacific, which is expected to boost the 3D concrete printing market.
