Existing Challenges for the 3D Printing Plastic Market Future Trends
The installation and maintenance cost of the prototypes is the major challenge for the 3D printing market growth as pointed out by most industry experts. Instead of attempting to comprehend the cost expenditure benefits of prototype, businesses engaged in design, particularly small and medium-sized businesses, are hesitating for investing in 3D printers for sale.
The adoption of 3D printing is being hampered by the widespread assumptions small and medium-sized firms have about the additive manufacturing procedures. In addition, lack of technical expertise and knowhow and an impending lack of standardized quality control measures, are anticipated to restrain the 3D printing industry expansion.
3D Printing Plastics Market Dynamics
Driver: Increased supply of 3D printing plastics due to forward integration of major polymer companies
3D printing technology is regarded as one of the most important disruptive technologies of our time. Its customer base is constantly expanding in industries such as aerospace and defence, healthcare, automotive, and electrical and electronics. Increased use of 3D printing technology in these industries is expected to contribute to increased demand for 3D printing materials such as 3D printing plastics.
Restraint: Environmental concerns regarding the disposal of 3D-printed plastic products
Global environmental concerns about the disposal of plastic materials are expected to limit the growth of the 3D printing plastics market during the forecast period. At first glance, 3D printing appears to be a far more environmentally friendly manufacturing technique than traditional subtractive methods. Instead of sculpting from a single block of raw material, which results in offcuts and waste, 3D printers build objects layer by layer, using only the material needed. However, when it comes to plastic pollution, the accessibility of 3D technologies is a major source of concern.
Opportunity: Increasing demand for bio-based grades of 3D printing plastics market
Some 3D printing plastics, such as PA11, PA12, and PLA, are made from natural materials such as castor seeds, palm oil, and starches. Evonik AG intends to introduce a bio-based grade of PA12 derived from palm oil. Because palm oil is a major raw material for bio-based PA12, a powdered 3D printing plastic, the development of bio-based grades of PA12 from palm oil is expected to contribute to the global growth of the 3D printing plastics market.
Challenge: High manufacturing costs of commercial grades of 3D printing plastics
Due to several value additions to the base materials used in their production, commercial grades of 3D printing plastics have high raw material costs. The production line for the distribution of raw materials used in the development of commercial grades of 3D printing plastics is still being established in emerging economies. Furthermore, when combined with base materials, value-added materials such as carbon fiber and alumina are expensive.
