In 2024, metals accounted for the second-largest share of the 3D printing materials market, in terms of value, in 2024.
Metals represent the second-largest segment in the market for 3D printing materials due to their indispensable role in manufacturing functional and load-bearing parts in industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical devices. The capability of metal 3D printing to produce intricate, lightweight, and high-performance parts that are not achievable with conventional manufacturing processes renders the technology immensely desirable for industrial use. Increased on-demand spare part demand, quick prototyping of working parts, and tailored tooling also fuel metal material consumption. Additionally, consistent innovations in metal powders, alloys, and printing technologies have enhanced efficiency and reliability, further enhancing their use in the marketplace.
In 2024, automotive accounted for the third-largest share of the 3D printing materials market in terms of value.
The automotive sector represents the third-largest segment of the 3D printing materials market because advanced 3D printed components are increasingly used in high-performance and electric vehicles. The combination of heat resistance, electrical insulation, and wear resistance qualities makes metals, plastics, and ceramics perfect for spark plugs and sensors, as well as thermal barriers and brake components. The manufacturing process of 3D printing allows the creation of sophisticated, lightweight components that boost fuel efficiency and operational performance during tough operating environments. The automotive industry continues to adopt additive manufacturing for precision-engineered ceramic parts because of its shift toward electrification and lightweight design.

Asia Pacific accounted for the third-largest share of the 3D printing materials market in terms of value.
The Asia Pacific region holds the third-largest share of the 3D printing materials market, driven by its growing manufacturing base and increasing adoption of industrial automation and advanced material technologies across various sectors, including electronics, healthcare, and automotive. The production of dental implants, electronic substrates, and thermal components is seeing significant growth in 3D printing applications in countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India. The region has significant potential but continues to lag behind North America and Europe due to limited access to advanced printing technology and a lack of specialized material suppliers. Additionally, traditional manufacturing sectors are slow to adopt this technology. Future growth in the Asia Pacific market will be supported by increased investment in research, government backing, and growing activity from international market players.
