Consumer 3D Printing Market: By Product Type (Printers, Materials, Software and Services), By Materials (Metal, Plastics, Others), By Technology (Multi Jet Fusion (MJF), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Direct Energy Deposition (DED) , Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), Stereolithography , Others, Stereolithography), By End User (Consumer Electronics, Consumer Goods, Jewellery, Mobility, Furniture and Home Décor, Others) and Geography

Consumer 3D Printing Market size was valued at USD 16.7 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 22.3% from 2024 to 2030. Consumer 3D Printing is a manufacturing method for the creation of a physical product from a computer-aided design (CAD) digital file. Thin layers of material are deposited incrementally until the object is complete. Various technologies such as stereolithography, fused deposition modeling, and others are used for 3D printing, mainly it is used in automotive, healthcare, and architecture for printing complex designing. Consumer 3D Printing is complying from prototyping to high-functional parts design, this technology has unique capabilities of reaching high printing speed which drives the market since 3D printing is used for high production which eradicates the traditional tooling method and also cuts lead time for prototyping.

An increase in technology leads to smart manufacturing concepts in a different industry, smart manufacturing covers 3D modeling and creates a new revolution in the market, leading to creating various opportunities. The plastic filament used in 3D printing is inexpensive, but by-product of 3D printing ends up in landfills which creates an adverse effect in the market and is a major challenge in the Consumer 3D Printing market. Geographically, North America held the major market share in 2022 and is expected to dominate the Consumer 3D Printing Market in the forecasted years.

Consumer 3D Printing Market Key Developments:

• In December 2022, Zortrax introduced new metal materials for the Endureal 3D printing system. The company's Full Metal package offering includes two comprehensive sets for metal 3D printing: the Zortrax Full Metal Package 17-4 PH and the Zortrax Full Metal Package 316L. The company has also introduced the low-melt VICTREX PAEK AM 200, which has a lower melting point than PEEK and can be extruded at lower temperatures.
• In April 2022, 3D Systems launched a new 3D printing solution ‘fastest stereolithography printer’. The new SLA 750 and SLA 750 Dual 3D printers and accompanying PostCure 1050 post-processing system and Accura AMX Durable Natural material are said to offer an ‘industry-leading combination of print size, speed, accuracy, and resolution for final parts’ with the 750 Dual version benefiting from synchronous, dual-laser technology that is said to deliver part production at up to twice the speed and triple the throughput of other SLA solutions.
