Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

3D printers are part of the additive manufacturing family and use methods similar to traditional inkjet printers, albeit in 3D. To create a three-dimensional object from scratch, a combination of cutting-edge software, powder-like materials, and precision tools is required. The production of a 3D printed object is accomplished through the use of additive processes. An object is created in an additive process by laying down successive layers of material until the object is complete. Each of these layers is a thinly sliced cross-section of the object. Polymers, metals, and ceramics are among the materials used in 3D printing. 3D printing provides methodologies that make complex design manufacturing a visible reality.

Global Personal 3D Printers Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Government initiatives towards the adoption of 3d printing technology

The high demand for 3D printing in the dental industry, government initiatives toward adopting 3D printing technology, and the ability to offer customised products are the major factors driving the personal 3D printers market growth. Increased popularity of tooth conditions leads to an increase in tooth replacement surgeries, an increase in the elderly population, and a surge in demand for customised dental 3D printing solutions, all of which drive global demand for 3D printers.

• Various benefits offered by the 3D printing technologies to the designers

The primary factor driving the automotive 3D printing market is the increasing need to manufacture complex designs in the automotive sector in a short period of time, as well as the increasing demand for precise machined components and high product quality. The 3D printing process has several advantages over traditional manufacturing processes, including a shorter value chain, reduced time and cost due to the elimination of assembly steps, increased customization and design freedom, and minimal waste. Furthermore, at the early stages of production, 3D printing is advantageous because designers can detect errors or defects in the initial prototype, reducing overall production lead time and operational costs.

Opportunity

Furthermore, increased collaborations among key leading players and increased consumer awareness are expected to aid the growth of the personal 3D printers market. Furthermore, 3D printing technology is widely used in a variety of applications around the world because it reduces manufacturing costs and enables mass production of industrial goods. Several countries' governments are taking steps to encourage the use of 3D printing in a variety of industries.

Restraints

The need for skilled labour or expertise to operate 3D printers is one of the major challenges in the automotive 3D printing market. Aside from that, the materials available for use are still limited. Because of the high melting points of some metal alloys, they cannot be used indefinitely to produce high-quality products in a 3D printer. These factors are currently limiting market growth.

COVID-19 Impact on Personal 3D Printers Market

Almost every industry on the planet has suffered a setback in the last 18 months. This can be attributed to severe disruptions in their respective manufacturing and supply-chain operations as a result of multiple precautionary lockdowns and other restrictions imposed by governments worldwide. The market for inkjet printers is no exception. Furthermore, consumer preferences have decreased as people are now much more focused on removing non-essential expenses from their budgets as the outbreak has negatively impacted the overall economic situation of most people. The aforementioned factors are likely to have a negative impact on the revenue trajectory of the inkjet printers market over the forecast period.
