Investment news of 2024
Investor's view 2024
In 2024, the industrial AM market faced yet again a challenging investment climate, with equipment vendors reporting declining revenues after consecutive years of growth. Publicly traded AM companies, especially those that went public via SPAC mergers, struggled to achieve profitability and saw significant market capitalization losses. DESKTOP METAL and MARKFORGED explored a merger with NANO DIMENSION, while VELO3D was acquired and delisted. Other companies, such as NEXA3D, remained in limbo, and WEBER ADDITIVE ceased operations without public notice. Even major polymer players like BASF and KIMYA retreated from the AM sector.
Innovations in AM software 2025
Innovations in Additive Manufacturing Software
What are the AM software innovations in 2024?
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.

Metal AM market size 2025
Market size
What is the metal Additive Manufacturing market size?
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 is creating high expectations in the market. Nevertheless, the metal Additive Manufacturing market size is still a niche compared to other manufacturing technologies. Currently, the market is valued at about EUR 3.5 billion with a projected growth in the double digit range.
Polymer AM industrialization 2025
Polymer Additive Manufacturing industrialization
Increasing maturity of polymer AM
Over 17 different polymer AM technologies are currently known and all at different stages of technological and industrial maturity. This section evaluates important characteristics describing the state of the industrial use of polymer AM today and in the future.
While the Dental industry has already implemented mass customized products, the Consumer Goods industry is also picking up the advantages of Additive Manufacturing. The mass customization of lattice structures within sporting goods or eye ware frames is just another step for the polymer Additive Manufacturing market to take to widespread industrial use of AM.
