DUBLIN, August 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global 3D Printing Materials Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The report forecasts the global 3D printing materials market to grow at a CAGR of 25.39% during the period 2016-2020.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from the research team said: Increase in penetration rate will be a key trend for market growth. As we expect, the production cost of 3D printing will decline during the forecast period, and the addressable market for 3D printing is expected to increase. Multi-laser technology will also help to penetrate in the industrial market by reducing the build rate. As the production cost will decline, the industrial mass production is expected to increase, which will pose a tremendous opportunity for the global 3D printing materials market.

According to the report, one of the key drivers will be demand driven by direct parts. Direct parts accounted for almost half of the total revenue generated by the 3D printing materials market in 2015. The number of 3D printing systems sold is increasing on the back of the demand coming from the production of direct parts. Direct parts can be produced by all the four technologies namely powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition, binder jetting, and sheet lamination. Since 2003, the direct parts segment showed tremendous growth prospects. In 2003, it accounted for only 4% of the total 3D printing revenue, reached 20% in 2010, and in 2015, the segment captured 48% of the total market.
