Metal AM industrialization 2023
Metal Additive Manufacturing degree of industrialization
Industry pushes industrialization efforts
The degree of industrialization of metal Additive Manufacturing is assessed in the following by the average utilization of machine capacity at users as well as the type of product the users manufacture in their specific vertical.
AMPOWER differentiates between 20 metal Additive Manufacturing technologies. While each technology is at a different stage of technological and industrial maturity, every industry has developed to a different level as well.
Medical and Dental have fully embraced metal Additive Manufacturing and have started with the production of end parts since more than a decade ago. Extensive knowledge on qualification of production equipment and validation of production processes was gained by the players in these industries. Paired with excellent business cases, the healthcare industries profit from use of metal AM and can be regarded as main driver for the industrialization of the technology.

Metal Additive Manufacturing market by region for suppliers and buyers
The market analysis by region will provide insights into the current state and outlook of the metal Additive Manufacturing market for three key areas of the world.
At the early days of metal Additive Manufacturing, Germany was the leading market region with its first movers in L-PBF technology CONCEPT LASER (now GE), EOS, REALIZER (now DMG MORI) and SLM SOLUTIONS. Hence, many pioneering users were located in Germany and Europe. By now, however, the market share is more evenly distributed with suppliers and buyers from all over the major industrial regions of EMEA, AMER and APAC.
The regions of interest are categorized into the groups of the Americas (AMER), the Asia Pacific region (APAC) consisting of East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania as well as the group of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
