About this report
When discussing additive manufacturing of ceramics, it is important to differentiate between AM processes for technical ceramics and AM processes for traditional ceramics.
Applications of technical and traditional ceramics differ greatly: the former are used to produce high-performance parts that usually weigh just a few grams, while the latter are mainly used to produce very large molds and foundry cores that weigh several kilograms. There are many other applications—of both technical and traditional ceramics—which sometimes blur the lines between technologies and materials, however, there are fundamentally two very distinct ceramic AM markets that need to be described and analyzed. That is what we do in this report.
In a niche market such as ceramics AM, the challenges of accurately estimating and mapping the market that 3dpbm Research identified in its ceramic market study are even more evident than for more established segments such as polymers and metals.
As a leading media and market research firm entirely focused on additive manufacturing, 3dpbm Research is uniquely positioned to address these issues. By leveraging our proprietary Index, the 3D Printing Business Directory—the largest global directory of verified AM companies, with currently 6,000 companies present—we were able to identify 96 companies that have invested in ceramics AM, representing nearly the entirety of the ceramic AM market and its key segments: ceramic AM hardware, ceramic AM materials and ceramic AM services.
These companies have been surveyed to produce what is, to date, the most accurate and detailed database of the ceramic AM market, enabling subsequent analyses and forecasts based on our consolidated forecast model.
First-hand data was compared and combined with additional data and information collected by the 3dpbm Research team from all publicly available sources, for each company included in this study. Finally, interviews were conducted with leading AM industry stakeholders and independent consultants to further validate and verify the data, estimates and analyses.
In total, the dataset for this market study comprises over 6,000 data points, providing an accurate snapshots of the current ceramic AM global market.
Using 3dpbm Research’s proprietary forecast model—which integrates multiple coefficients representing a wide range of influencing factors—the ceramic AM market is estimated to grow from $154 million in 2020 to over $3.4 billion by 2030. Significant growth is taking place in new areas of development such as binder jetting and bound filament extrusion of technical ceramic materials, with the ongoing rapid development of serial-production capable stereolithographic processes and continuing adoption of large format sand binder jetting systems for industrial casting applications.
Leading and emerging companies addressed in the report include: 10dim Tech, 3D Potter, 3DCeram, Admatec, Alumina Systems, AON, Bosch Advanced Ceramics, Cerhum, DWS, EASYMFG, EnvisionTEC, ExOne, Formatec, Hetitec, HumTown Additive, iLaser, Kyocera Fine Ceramics, Lithoz, Nanoe, nScrypt, Prodways, Steinbach, Tethon 3D, VormVrij, voxeljet, WASP, WZR, XJet, Zipro and several more.
In addition to supporting the market analysis and development efforts of current suppliers, the report is targeted towards companies looking to enter the market and capitalize on developing opportunities. OEMs looking to implement AM for ceramic part production will benefit from this study by quickly and accurately understanding currently available technologies, materials and services as well as the benefits and challenges of each. Finally, it serves as a guide for investors looking for the next disruptive production technologies.
