Feb 11, 2020

Additive Manufacturing Industry Overview

The global additive manufacturing industry is expected to witness substantial growth through 2022, owing to the increasing developments in additive manufacturing technologies. Also, the rising investments into R&D, coupled with the introduction of new combinations of printing materials are expected to spur the development of new equipment and applications, thereby bolstering the growth of the additive manufacturing market. On the flip side, the high cost involved in implementing additive manufacturing machines, lack of skill required for mass production, and unavailability of suitable materials for production are expected to hinder the additive manufacturing market growth. To address these pressing concerns, companies in the additive manufacturing industry will need to keep pace with market changes and adopt strategic initiatives.
