1. 3D Printing Materials 20142025: Status, Opportunities,
Market Forecasts
3D printing is currently the subject of
a great deal of speculation and
excitement in the media. Touted as
the technology to bring about the next
industrial revolution and the insourcing of manufacturing jobs back to the West, the term in
fact refers to a raft of technologies each of which is compatible
for use with a particular material type.

In fact the materials market for 3D printing is possibly the most
contentious issue in the 3D printing industry today. 3D printer
manufacturers are increasingly engaging in practices which are
perceived by end-users as anti-competitive by locking
customers in to their own materials supplies via key-coding and
RFID tagging of material cartridges, an activity which is
effectively enabling monopoly pricing of the materials
concerned.
Development of new materials for 3D printing is hindered by the
practice of lock-in by some 3D printer manufacturers. Barriers
to entry for 3rd party materials suppliers are high, and those
who do enter the market are unable to get the economies of
scale required to accelerate both materials development and
progress towards a competitive market.

2. In the short to mid-term, downwards
pressure on materials prices will be
driven mainly by new entrants to the
3D printer manufacture arena that do
not engage in lock-in practices and
enable customers to source materials
from the supplier(s) of their choice,
and also by pressure from large endusers wielding buying power to force prices down.
This report gives forecasts to 2025 for the following

Highest growth will be seen in the
market for metal powders, although
production, currently placed at less
than 30 tons/year, will remain
relatively low. This, in combination with high raw material and
processing prices, will combine such that prices for these
materials will fall more slowly than for alternative 3D printing
materials.
Market growth in a business-as-usual scenario when lock-in
remains common practice and prices remain high will be steady,
as illustrated below.
However, extensive interviews with both materials developers
and end-users indicate that prices are falling. This will modulate
growth of the market size even as mass production increases in
line with the growth of the cumulative installed base.
Further, for any given material class, market size (in terms of
$M) is more sensitive to the installed base of the corresponding
3D printer technology than to the actual price of the materials
themselves. Should material prices increase, only a small
reduction in the average utilisation rate of the printer installed
base is required for the market size to actually fall as a result.
