The rising automotive production is expected to propel the growth of the ceramic 3D printing market going forward. Automotive production refers to the manufacturing of motor vehicles and their components, including cars, trucks, buses, and automotive parts. The increase in automotive production is driven by growing demand for electric vehicles, advancements in manufacturing technology, rising consumer demand, and the expansion of commercial fleets. Ceramic 3D printing in the automotive sector enables the creation of high-performance, heat-resistant components such as brake parts, engine components, and battery insulators, enhancing durability and efficiency. For instance, in March 2024, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, a Belgium-based trade organization, global car manufacturing reached approximately 76 million units in 2023, representing a 10.2% increase from 2022. Therefore, the rise in automotive production is driving the growth of the ceramic 3D printing market.

Major companies operating in the ceramic 3D printing market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as binder jet-type 3D printers, to improve precision, scalability, and production efficiency. Binder jet-type 3D printers are additive manufacturing systems that use a liquid binder to fuse powdered materials layer by layer, creating complex structures with high accuracy and efficiency. For example, in January 2025, Roland DG Corporation, a Japan-based manufacturer of wide-format inkjet printers, introduced two new binder jet-type 3D printers, the PB-600 and PB-400, specifically designed for producing ceramic objects. These printers utilize advanced binder jet technology, layering Brightorb artificial ceramic powder and binding it with a liquid binder to construct intricate three-dimensional shapes. This innovation enables the production of highly detailed ceramic designs that were not achievable through traditional manual methods or milling. Their applications include artistic interior décor, ceramic panels, fine art replicas, and various types of earthenware and crafts.

In March 2025, Tethon 3D, a US-based provider of ceramic 3D printers and photopolymer 3D printing resins, acquired Technology Assessment and Transfer (TA&T) for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Tethon 3D aims to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities, expand its resin portfolio, and increase its global market share in the ceramic additive manufacturing industry. TA&T is a US-based provider of materials expertise specializing in silicon nitride ceramics and advanced ceramic processing solutions.
