The authors and co-authors combine several hundred years of experience in Additive Manufacturing. The AMPOWER core team has completed well over 300 international consultancy projects in Additive Manufacturing and trained several hundred 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.
In 2024, the industrial metal and polymer Additive Manufacturing market saw only modest growth of around 2%, reaching a total value of over €10 billion. Equipment manufacturers faced year-over-year revenue declines, while competition intensified with new market entrants.
Despite these challenges, material consumption grew in double digits, reflecting sustained demand for AM applications. By late 2024 and early 2025, business picked up as delayed projects resumed, suggesting that the slowdown was temporary and market growth could soon accelerate.
AMPOWER is a boutique consultancy for 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 2025 we collected more than 44,000 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.
