Market Statistics

Segment Insights & Market Share Analysis of the 3D-Printed Metal Parts Market:

The global 3D-printed metal parts market is segmented based on metal type, manufacturing process type, end-use industry type, and region.

Based on metal type –

• The market is segmented into steel, nickel alloys, titanium alloys, aluminum alloys, cobalt alloys, and other metals. Titanium alloy is likely to remain the largest metal category of the market during the forecast period.
• Titanium alloys are mainly used owing to their lightweight, low thermal conductivity, high mechanical strength, and lower by-weight-to-fly ratio, and are preferred for the aerospace industry. Key applications of titanium alloy 3D-printed metal parts for aerospace include airframes, wing structures, compressor blades, rotors, brackets, and other turbine engine components.
• Aluminum alloys, under the spotlight, are expected to record the second-highest growth during 2024-2031. Key aircraft OEMs, Boeing, and Airbus are using aluminum alloys for developing 3D-printed parts in their communication satellites, aircraft, and helicopters.
• Cobalt is one of the preferred metals for 3D-printed dental parts (bridges, dentures, and crowns) due to its good corrosion resistance, biocompatible, non-magnetic properties, and excellent mechanical properties.

Based on manufacturing process type –

• The market is segmented into powder bed fusion, blown powder, and other manufacturing processes. Powder bed fusion dominated the market with the largest share and is likely to remain dominant in the coming years. 

• Key advantages of the powder bed fusion process are reduced material wastage, improved production development time, efficient recycling of unmelted powder, and good resolution compared to other processes. The process type is used to produce lightweight components for aviation and racing cars, as well as medical implants.
• Blown powder is likely to gain traction in the market during the forecasted period. It supports a wide range of metals for manufacturing parts, such as titanium alloys, aluminum alloys, stainless steel, Inconel 718, 625, and niobium.
• Binder jetting is preferred for applications that require good aesthetics and form, such as architectural models, packaging, toys, and figurines.

Based on end-use industry type –

• The market is segmented into aerospace & defense, medical, automotive, energy, and other end-use industries. The aerospace & defense industry is likely to remain the largest and fastest-growing end-use industry of the market in the coming years.
• For the aerospace & defense industry, 3D printing technology produces lightweight parts with fewer internal defects and reduces fuel consumption and material costs. For instance, GE Aviation produces fuel nozzle tips for the LEAP engine and achieved a weight reduction of 25%.
• Medical is likely to remain the second-largest market till 2031. Medical implants from biocompatible materials (such as titanium and cobalt) are one of the dominant applications of metal 3D printing.

Which Region Shows the Most Promising Growth Forecast and Opportunity?

The analysis suggests that North America is likely to maintain its leadership in the market, while Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region by 2031. This growth outlook is mainly attributed to the following:

• The USA is the dominant market for aerospace 3D printing, driven by the higher adoption rate of 3D printing technology. Presence of key players: GKN Powder Metallurgy, GE Aerospace, Carpenter Technology Corporation, Oerlikon, and ATI.
• Europe is likely to maintain its second-leading position till 2031. Medical (making dental parts is extremely popular) is one of the major industries to adopt 3D printing technology in the region. Presence of key players: Liebherr-International AG, TRUMPF, MTU Aero Engines AG, and Sandvik AB.

Likewise, the Asia-Pacific is likely to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. China is the dominant 3D printing market in the region, driven by the “Additive Manufacturing Industry Development Action Plan” by the Chinese government.

3D-Printed Metal Parts Market Drivers:

Some of the key drivers listed in the report are given below.

• The rising demand for lightweight components in the aerospace and automotive industries, advancements in metal additive manufacturing technologies, and the growing need for customization and complex part designs. It also benefits from reduced material waste, increased adoption in aerospace, defense, medical, and dental applications, and significant R&D investments.
• The market is further propelled by the demand for shorter lead times, on-demand production, a wider range of printable metal materials, and the gradual decline in the cost of 3D metal printers and raw materials.
