The global dissolvable support material polymers market size was estimated at USD 412.86 thousand in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1.07 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 11.3% from 2025 to 2033. The growing use of multi-material 3D printing in industries such as healthcare and automotive is driving demand for dissolvable support materials that enable precise, complex designs.

Manufacturers are adopting these polymers to reduce post-processing time and improve overall production efficiency.The dissolvable support material polymers industry is moving from niche prototyping into mainstream production as additive manufacturing shifts toward end use parts.

Material innovation is focusing on faster, cleaner dissolution and broader compatibility with engineering-grade feedstocks, while service models that bundle consumables with post-processing solutions are gaining traction. This evolution is enabling more complex geometries and integrated assemblies that were previously impractical, driving OEMs and contract manufacturers to consider dissolvable supports as a standard workflow element.
