The value of the global 3D printing powder market is estimated to be US$213.3 million in 2015 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 24.4% from 2015 to 2020, according to a new report.
The growing demand for powders in additive manufacturing or 3D printing has led to significant developments in the 3D printing powder market. Powder-based printers are usually complex to manufacture and are accessible to a few large-scale industries, such as aerospace, defense, and automotive, which require increased precision. New developments in metal, plastics, and ceramic-based powders have prompted increased innovations in the powder metallurgy industry. As such, the knowledge about these new innovations is being transmitted by various trade and industrial associations through a number of trade fairs and conferences held across the world.
The new report, entitled 3D Printing Powder Market, By Type (Metal, Plastic, Ceramics), By End User (Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Medical & Dental) – Global Forecast to 2020 includes an in-depth analysis of industry trends and segments, with various tables and figures.
