The increasing product launches, strategic collaborations, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is notably driving the 3D technology market growth, although factors such as lack of efficient system operators and unemployment issue may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the 3D technology industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key 3D Technology Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global 3D technology market growth is the increasing product launches, strategic collaborations, and mergers and acquisitions. Some of the recent examples are as follows:
Such activities are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Key 3D Technology Market Trend
Development of 3D printing technology in the medical and pharmaceutical industry is one of the key 3D technology market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. 3D printing technologies are used to develop patient-specific devices and surgical instrumentation by using patient medical imaging. 3D printing significantly speeds up the manufacturing process and involves low costs but is as effective as the prosthetics manufactured using traditional manufacturing processes. 3D implants can significantly reduce the cosmetic deformities associated with such surgeries. It can be used to develop customized prosthetics that suit and fit the wearer. The low cost of these products makes them particularly suitable for children, who quickly outgrow their prosthetic limbs. Nearly 99% of the hearing aid that fits the ear are custom-made using 3D printing. Such factors will further support the market growth in the coming years.
Key 3D Technology Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global 3D technology market growth is the lack of efficient system operators and the unemployment issue. Process industries are currently deploying industrial automation technologies, such as 3D technology, to enhance productivity and efficiency. Thus, several employee unions are apprehensive of technological incorporation as they fear that this will directly impact human employment due to a shortage of efficient operators. However, 3D systems assist in the production of high-quality products at low operational costs. Thus, the real scenario is in stark contrast to the general perception of loss of employment. The vast industrial expertise of these employees, along with automated technologies, will help them bargain for better skilled and high-paying positions in the end-user industries. Technavio expects this perception to continue to be a challenge for end-user industries, which may hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
