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.
