A detailed analysis with more than 80 figures, tables and diagrams describe the worldwide industrial metal and polymer Additive Manufacturing market of today and tomorrow. The data is based on primary research results with industry experts and representatives of the supply chain and user market.
Learn about the state of the art and maturity level of all known Additive Manufacturing technologies. Make a deep dive into supply chain, materials, design characteristics and cost. Access the extensive supplier and application database.
The authors combine over 40 years of experience in Additive Manufacturing as well as over 250 international customer projects and trained more than 300 engineers worldwide. The report is the first of its kind, that combines direct personal interviews with users and suppliers of the industry. The system suppliers that contributed direct input for the AMPOWER report represent over 90 % of the worldwide installed base of Additive Manufacturing machines. The users, who contributed direct input for the report, represent over 10 % of the worldwide installed base.
The AMPOWER Report 2024 values the entire Additive Manufacturing market for metal and polymer systems, material and part manufacturing services at more than EUR 10 billion in 2023 with a projected double-digit growth until 2028. The industrial polymer Additive Manufacturing market is about double in size of its metal equivalent. While system sales revenues in both markets are at a similar level, material and part manufacturing suppliers are much more developed for polymers resulting in a larger share of revenue.
Following a setback in 2020, the Additive Manufacturing market rebounded and resumed its growth trajectory. In 2023, equipment suppliers achieved record-high revenues. However, profitability remains a challenge for suppliers, leading to lower market valuations and a reduced growth outlook compared to previous years. Consolidation among the leading equipment and material suppliers is expected in the coming period.
AMPOWER is a consultancy with focus on Additive Manufacturing. The report data is based on personal interviews with equipment suppliers, material suppliers, part manufacturing suppliers and users of Additive Manufacturing. For the AMPOWER Report 2024 we collected more than 30,000 data points and talked to over 300 international experts of the industry. This primary research is backed by extensive project experience in the AM environment and numerous market and technology studies spanning the past 15 years.
The AMPOWER Report breaks down high-level information into three segments: system sales (3D printing equipment OEM), material sales, and part manufacturing sales (often referred to as “service providers”). The report provides a comprehensive breakdown of the major technologies, material groups, industries, and regions. Equipment OEMs such as EOS, NIKON SLM SOLUTIONS, STRATASYS, BLT, FARSOON, 3D SYSTEMS, GE ADDITIVE, HBD, EPLUS3D, GEFERTEC, TRUMPF, DMG MORI, FORMLABS, CARBON, HP, ROBOZE, DESKTOP METAL, VELO 3D, and UNIONTECH are identified as the main drivers of the market data in the report. Part manufacturing suppliers in AM are for example MATERIALISE, OECHSLER, PROTOLABS, PROTOTAL, BEAMIT, OERLIKON, XOMETERY, SINTAVIA, and DIVERGENT. The material section provides an overview on the consumption of feedstock, including major global players in metal powder and polymer material supply such as SANDVIK, HÖGANÄS, VOESTALPINE, BASF, EVONIK, and HENKEL.
