Additionally, deposition modeling is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the cost-effective technology offers high resolution and accuracy in producing medical products. It enables the development of products using various thermoplastics such as rigid, transparent, or elastomer polymers, resulting in reduced lead times and accelerated prototyping. This versatile technology utilizes a diverse range of materials to manufacture customized medical products as needed.
By application, dental was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global healthcare additive manufacturing market in 2023 owing to the increasing embrace of 3D printing within the dental field, surge in the development of innovative products such as invisible aligners, rising implementation of advanced fabrication methods to achieve enhanced aesthetics & precise positioning, and rise in the introduction of novel dental products. For instance, in February 2022, Desktop Health has unveiled the Einstein series, a line of high-precision 3D printers, and Flexcera Smile Ultra+, an exceptionally robust dental resin granted FDA clearance for long-term usage. This pairing equips dental practitioners with the necessary resources to produce precise, customized 3D-printed smiles tailored to each patient, for both temporary and permanent dental restorations. Additionally, wearable devices is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing need for wristbands & fitness gadgets employed in monitoring personal health, surge in the utilization of advanced technological products for patient monitoring and managing diseases. These innovations contribute to enhancing the standard of patient care and cutting down on healthcare expenses.
North America region is anticipated for the highest revenue share during the forecast period owing to the increasing aging population, significant purchasing capacity, robust governmental backing for high-quality healthcare, supportive reimbursement policies, growing research & development efforts, rising trend of market players collaborating to introduce innovative devices. For instance, in July 2022, Sculpteo and Daniel Robert Orthopedic have introduced a bio-sourced 3D printed device. Collaboratively, they will utilize 3D printing to manufacture orthopedic devices using materials sourced from natural origins. Additionally, Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the healthcare infrastructure is rapidly advancing, rise in arthritis cases, growing demand for dental 3D printing, increasing number of patients opting for tooth replacement, and surge in the introduction of advanced devices by leading market players. For instance, in November 2022, Wipro 3D has introduced its inaugural product within its range of domestically created 3D printers. The Wipro 3D F300-2 printer boasts several features, including automatic platform leveling, a magnetic print bed, a self-cleaning nozzle, and dual filtration mechanisms, all aimed at ensuring user safety and the production of top-notch 3D prints.
