Global 3D Printing Powder Market is valued approximately USD 412.22 million in 2018 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 24.30% over the forecast period 2019-2026.
3D Printing is the process of manufacturing a product by depositing material layer by layer. It is fundamentally additive rather than subtractive in nature. 3D printing powder is a raw material used in the 3D printing process. Powders made out of various materials like thermoplastics, metals, ceramics and biochemicals are used in 3D printing process to create desired products. Products manufactured out of 3D printing are weight saving and requires less time to manufacture when compared to traditional methods of manufacturing. For instance, a 3D printed metal bracket of an aircraft has 50-80% less weight when compared to the one manufactured by conventional process.

This can result in fuel saving of about USD 2.5 million yearly. Therefore, advantages such as light weight product manufacturing and time saving capabilities, 3D printing powder market is expected to witness a surging trend over the forecast period. Further, the technology enables engineers to design parts that incorporate complex geometry. The parts manufactured by 3D printing process are casted out in a single piece that results in high strength and durability. Moreover, 3D printing process requires less work force, produces less waste and has a less environmental impact than conventional machining. These advantages are increasing the adoption of 3D printing in several industries including aerospace, automotive and healthcare which is further resulting the 3D printing market growth. However, initial high cost of printers, requirement of skilled personnel to design 3D models and manufacturing job losses are some of the factors likely to restrain the 3D printing powder market growth over the forecast period.
