The AMPOWER Report 2026 provides the most comprehensive analysis and forecast of the global industrial Additive Manufacturing (AM) market, covering both metal and polymer 3D printing.
The AMPOWER Report is based on months of intensive research and analysis by a team of strategic consultants using the proprietary AMPOWER Market Model. This model utilizes a unique dual-perspective approach that balances data from both suppliers and buyers to provide a realistic, objective view of the industry. It was built on decades of combined experience in the 3D printing sector and an intimate understanding of the global manufacturing landscape.
The figures and topics covered in the AMPOWER Report are both comprehensive and reliable. They are a product of over 50,000 data points collected through more than 300 personal interviews with industry experts. By representing over 90% of the globally installed machine base, the report provides a definitive look beyond the marketing hype that has often characterized the 3D printing industry in the past.
This extensive report contains AM market of 2025 and a five-year forecast of global AM market figures, broken down by:
- Segment: System sales, materials, and part manufacturing services.
- Technology: 12 metal and polymer technology groups (e.g., Powder Bed Fusion, Binder Jetting, DED, Material Extrusion).
- Industry: 16 vertical markets including Aerospace, Defense, Medical, High-tech, Consumer Goods, and Automotive, amongst others.
- Region: In-depth analysis of AMER, EMEA, and APAC, with specific country-level data for major hubs like the US and China.
Finally, the AMPOWER Report outlines the future trends and opportunities to look out for, such as the shift toward serial production, and the rapid rise of the defense sector as a primary driver of technological maturity.
