3D Printing Medical Devices - Global Market Trajectory & Analytics

Global 3D Printing Medical Devices Market to Reach $3.2 Billion by 2026

3D Printing, also referred to as Additive Manufacturing (AM), Layered Manufacturing (LM), Rapid Prototyping (RP), and Additive Fabrication (AF), is described as collection of technologies, which build physical 3D objects, tooling components, final production parts, and prototypes by using a layer by layer process. 3D printing has gained recognition during the coronavirus pandemic. While aerospace and defense, medical and dental sectors are the high-value industries already utilizing the technology, automotive and oil and gas are emerging users. As many countries consider moving key production activities to home, 3D printing is expected to play a vital role in facilitating this migration. As the world grappled to deal with the coronavirus outbreak and the ensuing emergency demand for a wide range of products, 3D-printing emerged as the technology of choice that helped governments and the healthcare communities across the world deliver enhanced medical care to patients. Recent innovations in the area of 3D printing are attracting a larger number of consumers, thereby accelerating the global market growth. Moreover, the seamless development of customized medical products using 3D printing technology is expected to significantly enhance the market growth in the near future. The rapid surge in COVID-19 cases created pressing need to ramp up testing along with protection for healthcare providers. The COVID-19 outbreak led to strong demand for nasopharyngeal swabs for collecting nasal epithelial mucosa for diagnosis and testing. The unpredictable spike in demand for these swabs prompted researchers and various companies to rely on 3D printing for ensuring sufficient availability of these tools.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for 3D Printing Medical Devices estimated at US$1.6 Billion in the year 2022, is projected to reach a revised size of US$3.2 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 16.3% over the analysis period.
