Industry Dynamics

Industry Trends

Several manufacturing companies are trying to enter the 3D printing market in healthcare. Another significant trend noticed is that there is a significant investment in research and development of improved products with better iterative design. Supply chain optimization is also witnessed due to lower costs and lead times.

Growth Drivers

The growing demand for implants and the rising aging population are the primary growth drivers of the global 3D market in healthcare. In addition, extensive use of this technology in the healthcare sector has also propelled the market growth. The increase in awareness among people regarding personal care, growing public-private investments, development of customized medical products, preference for direct digital production, and expiry of key patents are also fueling market growth. Apart from that, there is a significant rise in the number of hearing loss issues and dental problems, higher healthcare expenditure, and a growing need for organ transplants are also driving the market growth.

Challenges

The socio-ethical worries among the users pose significant challenges to the growth of the market. Additionally, the strict regulatory measures by the government coupled with the difficulty in getting approval for devices. This prevents widespread adoption and use and thereby prevents market growth. Moreover, patent issues also hinder the growth of the global 3D printing market in healthcare.  

Opportunities

The significant benefits offered by 3D printing devices such as higher quality control, better image quality, and ease in operation allow higher adoption and extensive use across a wide range of applications and thereby present growth opportunities to the global 3D market in healthcare.

Geographic Overview

North America contributes the largest share of the market due to the growing demand for organ transplants, the growing aging population, the higher need for implants, and the increase in the number of patients with hearing loss and dental problems. Also, rapid technological developments, a robust healthcare infrastructure, and government-private funding to develop innovative 3D printing technologies and applications are fueling the market growth in this region.

The Asia-Pacific will, however, grow at a faster rate due to higher adoption of products, novel research, a large number of training centers, a growing senior population with dental issues or hearing loss problems, developing healthcare infrastructure, a huge population base, and higher healthcare expenditure.
