The orthopedic implants segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 522.66 million in 2018. Moreover, the ability of 3D printing technology to quickly produce customized surgical implants solves an important problem in orthopedics as, for a significant number of patients, traditional implants are often insufficient, especially in complex cases. In addition to being anatomically correct, customized orthopedic 3D printing devices can be fabricated from high-quality and biocompatible materials. For example, 3D-printed implants can be fabricated with complex free-form surfaces such as lattices, which aid in accelerating post-operative healing, facilitating osteointegration, and reducing implant stiffness. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
Plastics provide a broad range of material options, enabling flexibility in choosing the right material with suitable properties for the specific application. For instance, materials including polyether ether ketone (PEEK) are commonly used in orthopedic 3D printing due to their strength and biocompatibility. In addition, plastic orthopedic 3D printing is cost-effective for prototyping and iteration of orthopedic devices, making it easier for designers and manufacturers to refine their products. Moreover, the use of plastic in orthopedic 3D printing is also gaining traction in research and development, enabling the testing of new implant designs, materials, and surgical techniques, which will fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the global orthopedic 3D printing devices market during the forecast period.
The nylon segment is a strong and durable material that is suitable for orthopedic implants. In addition, it can withstand the mechanical stresses and load-bearing requirements of orthopedic applications. Moreover, nylon is relatively lightweight, which can be advantageous for orthopedic implants, especially in cases where reducing the weight of the implant is beneficial for the patient. In addition, the growing interest in nylon orthopedic 3D printing devices is fuelled by the potential to improve patient outcomes, reduce lead times, and enhance the customization of orthopedic implants. Furthermore, as technology and materials continue to advance, the adoption of 3D printing in orthopedics is likely to increase, resulting in further innovations and improvements in patient care, which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.

There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
One of the key factors driving the orthopedic 3D printed devices market growth is the growing number of orthopedic implant surgeries. There is an increase in the number of orthopedic implant surgeries such as knee replacement, hip replacement, shoulder replacement, and spinal implant and craniomaxillofacial implant procedures across the world. In addition, after the hip and knee replacement, shoulder replacement is the most common joint replacement surgery performed worldwide.
Moreover, shoulder arthroplasty is the fastest-growing field of arthroplasty in the US. In addition, the number of shoulder replacement procedures in the US more than doubled during 2010-2020. Therefore, several market players are offering 3D printing technologies to meet the increasing demand for orthopedic implants which are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the orthopedic 3D printed devices market growth is the rising focus on R&D of 3D bioprinting. There has been an increase in technological advances in 3D printing which have increased the feasibility of the synthesis of living tissues. In addition, the process, also known as 3D bioprinting, comprises the precise layering of cells, biological scaffolds, and growth factors with the aim of creating bio-identical tissues.
Moreover, unlike other 3D printers, which use plastic or metals as their raw materials, 3D bioprinters use a computer-guided pipette to layer living cells, referred to as bioink, on top of one another to create artificial living tissues. In addition, 3D printers have also been used to create knee meniscus, spinal disks, and other types of cartilage and bone. Furthermore, 3D bioprinting offers several advantages over the traditional regenerative method. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
The high threat of counterfeit 3D printing devices is one of the key challenges hindering the orthopedic 3D printed devices market growth. The main disadvantage of 3D printing is counterfeiting or the production of substandard medical devices and copyright infringement issues. In addition, If a market player in the market gets hold of its competitor's blueprint, the former can easily produce its own slightly altered version with ease. Therefore, the original copyright holder would find it difficult to enforce his rights.
Moreover, in the case of unauthorized disclosure or leak of a confidential trade secret, where it might be hard to trace the person, the original manufacturer could potentially lose his trade secret protection. Therefore, it would be easy for competitors to make counterfeit copies. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
