The global market for 3D printing for construction is expected to grow from $228.6 million in 2025 and is projected to reach $6.5 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 95.5% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2030.
The global market for 3D printing for construction is likely to be driven by increasing shortage of affordable housing and skilled labor, the rising role of automation in construction and growing popularity of sustainable construction practices. The lack of affordable housing is gradually becoming a global crisis. Moreover, the construction industry is still struggling with a lack of skilled construction workers to meet the growing demand. The utilization of 3D printing technology is vital in catering to these challenges associated with housing and skilled labor.
As the technological landscape advances, automation is becoming a vital element of the global construction sector, from planning and designing to execution and maintenance. This has increased demand for robotics, 3D printing, advanced software and artificial intelligence (AI).
There are huge future growth prospects using 3D printing within large-scale construction, including infrastructure, industrial buildings and specialized industrial structures. In addition, the incorporation of innovative and environment-friendly materials will make the entire 3D printing process more versatile and sustainable. Advances in 3D printing could enable construction of habitats on Mars and the Moon in the coming years.
