Global Rapid Prototyping Equipment Industry Outlook
The global rapid prototyping equipment market research predicts the market to grow steadily at a CAGR of around 5% by 2021. One of the primary rapid prototyping equipment market drivers is the capability of the rapid prototyping equipment to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the product development cycle in the manufacturing process. The rising competition and rapidly changing market dynamics have compelled a number of companies to have shorter product development cycles. Consequently, prototyping equipment enables the production of reliable and cost-effective products and reduces the need for multiple prototypes and analysis time.
One of the latest rapid prototyping equipment market trends gaining traction in this market is the exponentially rising adoption of integrated rapid prototyping equipment. Vendors are offering prototyping equipment that is integrated with various manufacturing applications. This approach helps in creating a collaborative product development cycle by reducing the gap between product design and production phases.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
The global rapid prototyping equipment market is highly consolidated due to the presence of few established players holding a significant share of the global market. There is intense competition among the major vendors in the market. Apart from top vendors, several regional and local vendors have started manufacturing customized and energy-efficient equipment that is available at lower prices than the products offered by their international counterparts.
The report offers a detailed analysis of several leading companies, including:
Other prominent vendors in the rapid prototyping equipment market include 3T RPD, AAROFLEX, Afit, Proto Labs, Arcam, Beijing Yinhua, Biomedical Modeling, Concept Laser, Cubic Technologies, Desktop Factory, EnvisionTEC, ExOne, fcubic, GPI Prototype and Manufacturing Services, Greatbatch, Cubic Technologies, and Höganäs.
