Growth Factors

 The market growth is attributable to the cost-effectiveness of 3D printed parts, reduced lead times, and the development of complex parts during production.

The potential cost savings is the significant factor stimulating the growth of the market in the aerospace & defense end-use sector. For instance, in November 2018, Lockheed Martin, a U.S.-based global aerospace & defense company, announced that due to 3-dimensional printed parts, there was a reduction in the price of its F-35 Full Mission Simulator (FMS) unit and led to the savings of nearly USD 45.0 million.

By Form Analysis

The powder form segment accounted for the largest revenue share of more than 94% in 2020 of the global market. Metal powder particles have a number of prominent parameters that not only impact the additive build process but also affect the properties of the finished component. 

The distribution of the particle must not be skewed but should be evenly spread to obtain an optimal build. Filaments are typically a mix of metal and polymer, wherein the metal is coated with a layer of polymer including PLA and ABS.

By Product Analysis

The titanium product segment accounted for the highest revenue share of over 41% in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period. Increasing demand for titanium-based products in various industries due to their properties, such as non-corrosive and high resistance against harsh environments, is expected to fuel the segment growth.

The ability of the aerospace & defense industry to bear high initial costs and adapt to new technologies is anticipated to propel the development of titanium powder for 3D printing applications. 

By Regional Analysis

Based on region, Europe is projected to register the fastest CAGR of more than 27% from 2021 to 2028. The U.K., Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy lead the regional market in terms of the adoption of 3D printing for end parts, particularly in the healthcare and aerospace sectors.

Major companies that currently use 3D printing in the U.K. are Attenborough Dental and Renishaw for crowns and bridges; Bowman International for bearing cages; and GKN for automotive and aerospace components. 

The growing adoption of 3D printing by aerospace companies in Asia Pacific is projected to drive the regional market. In the aerospace sector, the major aircraft manufacturer in India,
