Monday 20 July 2015, Amsterdam

According to a new market research report, now available on ASDReports, “4D Printing Market by Material (Programmable Carbon Fiber, Programmable Wood - Custom Printed Wood Grain, Programmable Textiles), End User (Aerospace, Automotive, Clothing, Construction, Defense, Healthcare & Utility) & Geography - Global Trends & Forecasts to 2019 - 2025”, the total market is expected to be worth $63.0 million in 2019 and reach $537.8 Million by 2025, at a CAGR of 42.95% between 2019 and 2025.

The 4D printing technology allows users to print objects that reshape themselves or self-assemble over time, by printing smart materials from a 3D printer. This technology is on the verge of commercialization, and as the 3D printing techniques are advancing, the 4D printing market is expected to have moderate growth. This 4D printing would help to maintain a sustainable environment with less wastage of natural resources. On the basis of material, programmable carbon fiber is expected to hold the largest market worth $41.9 million, in 2019. Programmable wood grain and programmable fabric are expected to grow at CAGRs of 39.49% and 35.75%, respectively, during the forecast period.

The report also covers the key end-user industries of the 4D printing market including aerospace, automotive, clothing, construction, defense & military, healthcare, and utility. Of all the sectors, the military & defense sector is expected to be the largest contributor to the overall 4D printing market, with a share of 55% of the market in 2019. The aerospace would follow the military & defense industry, and hold 45% of market share in 2019.

The report also covers the 4D printing market for different geographic regions including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW). Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 51.75% period between 2019 and 2025, followed by North America.

The report profiles the major market players with a SWOT analysis of key players in the 3D printing market, as 4D printing technology is yet to be commercialized. The market is expected to witness a series of new product launches, announcements, and partnerships across the value chain.

Key players in this industry include 3D Systems Corporation (U.S.), Autodesk, Inc. (U.S.), ExOne Co. (U.S.), Hewlett-Packard Co. (U.S.), Organovo Holdings, Inc. (U.S.), and Stratasys Ltd. (U .S.) among others.
