Global Aerospace 3D Printing Market is valued at approximately USD 2.66 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 16.07% over the forecast period 2022-2029. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a method of producing three-dimensional solid items from a digital file. The production of a 3D-printed object is accomplished using additive techniques. An object is built in an additive technique by laying down successive layers of material until the object is complete. Each of these levels is a thinly sliced cross-section of the object. 3D printing allows for the creation of complicated shapes while utilizing less material than traditional manufacturing processes. The Aerospace 3D Printing Market is expanding because of factors such as the high demand for lightweight parts and components as well as the increased use of composite materials.

According to International Air Transport Association (IATA), the aviation sector is on track to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The major strategy used by aircraft makers to increase fuel efficiency and meet the stated objective is to reduce the net weight of an aircraft and optimize the engine. For instance, the locking shaft of an Airbus A350 aircraft door was created using additive manufacturing, resulting in a 45% weight reduction while maintaining comparable robustness, as well as a 25% reduction in production cost due to less material usage, material waste, and assembly time. The approach also reduced the number of parts from ten to one, lowering the structure’s complexity and saving more than four kilograms over sixteen door shafts. Thus, the increased need for lightweight and long-lasting aircraft components significantly contributes to market growth. Also, the supply chain management and advancement of superior 3d printing technologies provide lucrative growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period. However, the high cost of parts and limited materials may stifle market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.

The key regions considered for the Global Aerospace 3D Printing Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. In terms of revenue, North America dominated the market owing to the rising demand for lightweight aircraft components. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Due to the growing need for 3D-printed components in space applications, the spacecraft segment is predicted to grow during the projected period. The UAV segment is expected to expand rapidly. In Asia Pacific, the segment’s expansion is being fueled by increased investments by key players and the space industry.
