Key Insights

The top-level numbers from each of our independent market reports.

Polymer AM   /    Ceramic AM    /    Metal AM

The insights that matter

Each one sets out our market size for the year, the split by segment, and our five-year forecast, then a handful of the findings we think are most worth knowing, every one with the chart that carries it. Behind each sits a report of several hundred pages, sized from the bottom up, company by company, from databases we maintain all year. If you are weighing whether that report is worth your budget, start here.

What’s inside

Four parts in every edition

The market, sized

Our market size for the year, growth by segment, the split by region, and our forecast to 2030.

The findings

The developments that defined the year, each quantified and charted, so every conclusion can be checked against the data.

Last year, checked

Our previous forecast set against what happened, segment by segment, published whether it flatters the model or not.

How it is built

How many companies we tracked and contacted, the data points behind the model, our price bands, and where the numbers come from.

Coverage

How the data is cut

Technologies differ by material, and some markets carry structure of their own, ceramic most of all. The approach holds everywhere: revenue and volume for every dimension that applies to that market, for the year and across the forecast.

Segments

Hardware, materials and services sized separately, then totaled.

Technologies

Every process we can size, each broken down into its sub-technologies.

Material forms

Filament, powder, resin, pellet and paste, plus their ceramic and metal equivalents.

Materials

Named grades within every form, each with revenue and tonnage.

Price segments

Hardware split by system price, from consumer up to high-industrial.

Part types

Service output split across prototypes, tools and jigs, and final parts.

End-use verticals

Named industries, plus the demand that sits outside any one of them.

Regions

APAC, EMEA, North America and LATAM, on the seller side.

The core reports are also available as two-report bundles.

Need a cut of the data we have not published?

We hold the underlying databases all year and can pull a custom view of any segment, technology, region or vertical. If you are considering a report, ask for the pivot you actually need before you buy.
