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 2022 values the entire Additive Manufacturing market for metal and polymer systems, material and part manufacturing services at more than EUR 7 billion in 2021 with a projected double-digit growth until 2026. The industrial polymer Additive Manufacturing market is about more than 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.
After the setback in the year 2020, the Additive Manufacturing market recovered and found its path back to growth. Already at the end of 2020, many suppliers signaled a positive outlook with an increase of orders along the complete value chain. The printer facilities of part manufacturers were back to run at full capacity after a desolate year and supplier were able to make up the lost business in the first year of the pandemic. This upward trend continued well in 2021, despite the continuous economic challenges existing all around the world.
The report data is based on personal interviews with system suppliers, material suppliers, service bureaus and users of Additive Manufacturing. For the AMPOWER Report 2022 we collected more than 23,000 data points and talked to over 300 international experts of the industry. This primary research is backed by project experience and several market and technology studies from the past 15 years.
The spectrum of Additive Manufacturing has become wide and is continuously increasing. In metal, there are 20 different metal AM and 16 polymer AM principles known. Each one has a different set of characteristics, advantages and process chain as well cost structure and AM Maturity Index. To successfully employ Additive Manufacturing, the printing process and its properties must be understood. Moreover, the design, process chain and cost structure have to be considered. AMPOWER provides in the technology report section insights into these topics.
