3D printing is an enhanced process designed to use layers of materials to build 3D equipment or object. Furthermore, 3D printing is intended to enable users to develop a complex shape using less material than traditional manufacturing methods. In addition, the surge in demand for AI, the IoT, and smart infrastructure solutions across the automotive, consumer electronics, and healthcare sectors are expected to drive the growth of the market across North America in the coming years.

The 3D printing market is highly competitive owing to the strong presence of existing vendors. 3D printing vendors who have access to extensive technical and financial resources are anticipated to gain a competitive edge over their rivals, as they have the capacity to cater to the market requirements. The competitive environment in this market is expected to further intensify with rise in technological innovations, product extensions, and different strategies adopted by key vendors.

The surge in the adoption of 3D printing in the healthcare sector, owing to the emergence of COVID-19 has significantly boosted the growth of 3D printing solutions. Moreover, prime economies, such as the U.S. and Canada, are planning to develop and deploy next-generation 3D printing solutions across various sectors. For instance, in February 2022, AM-giant 3D Systems Inc. announced the acquisition of pellet extruding machine company Titan Robotics LLC, which is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for market growth.

Among the analyzed regions, the U.S.exhibits the highest adoption rate of 3D printing solutions. On the other hand, North America is expected to grow at a faster pace, due to emerging countries, such as Mexico, investing in these technologies.

Globally, various key players and government agencies operating in North America are investing in 3D printing solutions to make them compatible with various industrial platforms. For instance,in2019, according to a report by New Story, a nonprofit organization based in Mexico, announced the development of the world’s first 3D printed community. The NPO has officially revealed the first set of 3D printed homes in Mexico, which is showcasing lucrative growth opportunities for market growth. 

The key players profiled in the report include 3D Systems, Arcam AB, Autodesk Inc., Stratasys Ltd., The ExOne Company, Optomec, Inc., Organovo Holdings, Inc., Protolabs, Voxeljit AG, and Hoganas AB.
