The Global Automotive 3D Printing Market was valued at USD 5.93 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 14.8% to reach USD 23.19 billion by 2035.
Automotive manufacturers are increasingly relying on 3D printing to accelerate design testing and iteration, reducing defects before mass production. These advantages are particularly critical for the launch of new vehicle models and electric vehicle (EV) platforms, giving manufacturers a competitive edge, faster time-to-market, and enhanced ability to respond to consumer demand and regulatory standards. The growing adoption of lightweight vehicles and EVs has further fueled market growth, as additive manufacturing enables the production of lighter components, such as battery enclosures, structural supports, and thermal management systems. Lighter parts enhance vehicle performance, improve energy efficiency, and extend EV range, making 3D printing an essential tool in modern automotive design and production.
The hardware segment held a 69% share in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15% through 2035. This segment includes powder bed fusion systems, material extrusion machines, vat photopolymerization equipment, binder jetting lines, and other production-class 3D printing hardware.
The internal combustion engine (ICE) segment held an 85% share in 2025, expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.4% from 2026 to 2035. Traditional automotive applications continue to drive adoption, particularly for rapid prototyping and high-performance component production.
US Automotive 3D Printing Market generated USD 1.85 billion in 2025. Adoption is driven by the manufacturing of EV battery housings, thermal management parts, and complex brackets. US vehicle manufacturers are leveraging additive manufacturing to accelerate early development, produce intricate components, and boost overall innovation, strengthening the industry’s competitiveness globally.
Key players in the Global Automotive 3D Printing Market include Stratasys, 3D Systems, HP, EOS, SLM Solutions, Nikon SLM Solutions, Desktop Metal, Materialise, Colibrium Additive/GE Additive, and GE Additive. Companies in the Global Automotive 3D Printing Market are deploying multiple strategies to reinforce their market presence. Firms are investing in advanced hardware and multi-material printing technologies to meet the evolving demands of lightweight and complex automotive components. Strategic partnerships with automotive OEMs and tier-1 suppliers are being established to integrate additive manufacturing into standard production processes. Companies are expanding regional footprints to target emerging EV and ICE markets and offering cloud-based design platforms to streamline prototyping and design iteration.
