The Global Additive Manufacturing With Metal Powders Market was valued at USD 40.1 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 15.2% to reach USD 162.8 billion by 2035.
The market is expanding rapidly as industries increasingly demand lightweight, high-strength components to enhance performance and fuel efficiency. Aerospace, automotive, and defense sectors are transitioning to metal additive manufacturing to achieve complex geometries and weight reduction without compromising durability. Advances in 3D printing technologies, including laser systems, electron-beam methods, and multi-laser setups, are accelerating build speed and improving precision. Wider adoption of powder-bed fusion processes has enhanced process reliability, shortened production cycles, and improved surface finishes, driving the commercialization of metal AM solutions. Additionally, the medical and dental sectors are fueling growth by adopting metal additive manufacturing for customized implants, prosthetics, and surgical instruments, creating a surge in demand for patient-specific and high-precision applications.
The alloy segment generated USD 12.1 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.5% through 2035. Alloys, including stainless steel, are widely used due to their corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and suitability for complex geometries. Their broad adoption across aerospace, automotive, medical, and industrial equipment sectors is creating sustainable demand. Other types of steel provide cost-effective solutions for structural and tooling applications, allowing manufacturers to scale both prototyping and functional production efficiently.
The aerospace segment accounted for USD 13.9 billion in 2025, holding a 34.7% share, and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 14.9% during 2026-2035. Aerospace, automotive, and medical industries are driving demand for high-performance, lightweight, and precision components. Aerospace companies require advanced structural and engine parts, while automotive manufacturers use metal AM for tooling, prototyping, and limited-volume high-performance components. Medical applications are expanding rapidly as patient-specific implants and surgical tools gain traction. The convergence of these industries is reinforcing the trend toward high-precision metal additive manufacturing.
North America Additive Manufacturing With Metal Powders Market held USD 13.8 billion in 2025.
