This report quantifies the market for silicon carbide ceramics additive manufacturing (AM) over the coming decade. The report includes all revenues associated with sales of AM hardware, materials, service and parts, and to identify where the opportunities are to be found. The report provides ten-year market forecasts in volume and value terms. The forecasts are broken out by technology, parts and end-user sector, which are quantified both in terms of volumes and generated revenues.
This report discusses in some depth the evolutionary pressures and paths that the analyst believes will drive the need for adoption of additive manufacturing in processing silicon carbide ceramics.
Because this segment is still very experimental, the assumptions made regarding the market’s evolution-as they pertain to hardware adoption and part production-are based both on commercial data-when available-and on the analysis of each silicon carbide AM technology’s current state and potential with respect to the overall silicon carbide parts market.
The balance of this report concerns itself with major players and important projects in the silicon carbide 3D printing space. In this part of the analysis, we examine what firms and R&D organizations are planning for their product/marketing strategies in terms of developing silicon carbide AM hardware, material, and services that can meet market needs in the coming years. There are also detailed ten-year forecasts in volume and value terms.
In creating this report, we have relied on both primary and secondary information sources. As far as the former is concerned, we have made use of personal and telephone interviews including relevant sections of interviews conducted with key sector experts. In addition, we have made use of secondary sources such as corporate web sites and relevant academic documents and papers. Some of the information was collected at major trade shows for both AM and ceramics.
Although this report is primarily about silicon carbide 3D printing, we note that the analysis of the potential for silicon carbide AM applications is often very much linked to the potential for advanced ceramics AM in general.
