New York, US, June 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Printing Filament market Overview:
According to a comprehensive research report by Market Research Future (MRFR),“ 3D Printing Filament Market Information by Type, End-Use, and Region - Forecast till 2025, ” the market is projected to reach USD 8.1 Billion by 2025 at 23.7% CAGR.
Future Market Growth Factors:
3D printing filament is witnessing a humungous demand worldwide, in line with the expanding application scope in the aerospace and defense sector for design communication as well as prototyping. Mounting demand for advanced print in the automotive industry also pushes the market growth. 3D printing filaments that are developed using plastic note significant demand given their low cost, high water resistance, and the ease of manufacturing property. Unlike traditional printing like nylon, composites, and hybrid filament materials, the filaments made of plastics use fused filament fabrication methods more effectively to make prototypes for automotive, industrial and aerospace and defense fields.
Technological trends along with growing focus of the players on product advancement in the 3D printing filament industry are also spurring growth across the globe. Emerging countries like India, Brazil, China, Malaysia and South Korea are currently some of the leading component manufacturers in the field of automotive, aerospace and defense, healthcare and industrial, and therefore, present a host of attractive opportunities to the vendors in the 3D printing filament market.
