The AMER region generally covers the USA, Canada and the south american countries including Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. Historically, the USA was the more active region in the polymer Additive Manufacturing field compared with Europe. Lateley, new emerging sinter-based metal Additive Manufacturing technologies predominentaly come from US based companies.
The EMEA region generally covers Europe, Russia, the african continent and the middle East. Europe is one of the birth regions of Additive Manufacturing while in the middle east, Israel is a hotspot for startups in new technologies. This report section covers regional reports of contributing local authors, who each are experts in the characteristicy of the regional Additive Manufacturing landscape.
The APAC region generally covers Australia, the far east asian countries such as Japan and China as well as India. While Japan entered the Additive Manufacturing market much later than others, China is currently one of the largest players in the gloal industry. This report section covers regional reports of contributing local authors, who each are experts in the characteristicy of the regional Additive Manufacturing landscape.
Additive Manufacturing experiences massive growth and is considered to be one of the key technologies on the path of digitalization and industry 4.0. The ability of manufacturing parts directly from a CAD file enables mass-customization and on-demand production. Software is the key in design generation and processing of production data.
The industrial AM equipment market faced a challenging year in 2023. The 3D printing industry giants 3D SYSTEMS and STRATASYS both reported declining revenue for 2023 of 9 % and 4 %, respectively, with losses in the millions.
Throughout 2023, 3D SYSTEMS, STRATASYS, NANO DIMENSION, and DESKTOP METAL were actively engaged in take-over bids or merger offers towards each other, activities that underline the pressure for consolidation in the market. Additionally, it could be assumed, that the constant noise around hostile take-overs and merger rumors have not been beneficial to their commercial success in 2023.
The following overview provides key activities of investors and start-ups in the field of Additive Manufacturing for the year of 2023.
