Additive Manufacturing Market to be Worth $93.36 Billion by 2031

• By Offering: The market is divided into Hardware, Software, Materials (Polymers, Metals, Ceramics, Composites, and Other Materials), and Services. Among these, the Services segment is expected to hold the largest share, above 52.8%, in 2024. This segment includes services such as additive manufacturing services, education, repair and maintenance, consulting, and training associated with hardware and software. The large share is driven by the growing number of service providers, increasing reliance on these providers by end users, and the benefits of outsourcing. Additionally, the rising deployment of 3D printers across industries is expected to increase the demand for support and maintenance services, enabling business process improvements and continual modifications.

• By Technology: The market is segmented into Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Stereolithography (SLA), Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), PolyJet, Multi-Jet Fusion, Digital Light Processing (DLP), Binder Jetting, Electron Beam Melting (EBM), Directed Energy Deposition (DED), Laser Metal Fusion (LMF), Selective Absorption Fusion (SAF), LCD 3D Printing, and other technologies. In 2024, the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) segment is expected to account for the largest share at 11.5%. This dominance is due to the expanding application areas of FDM technology, such as automotive, aerospace, general manufacturing, healthcare, consumer goods, and jewelry, its cost-effectiveness, and its growing adoption by various manufacturers.
• By End User: The market is segmented into Consumer Products, Healthcare, Automotive, General Manufacturing, Electronics & Semiconductors, Aerospace & Defense, Chemicals & Materials, Energy, Oil & Gas, and Other End Users.
