Global automotive 3D printing market is segmented based on technology, applications and geography. Different technologies such as stereolithography, fused deposition modeling, selective laser sintering, laminated object manufacturing and electron beam melting are used in automotive sector for 3D printing. Stereolithography is the most commonly used technology, as it facilitates faster production of complex parts. Among the other aforementioned technologies, fused deposition modeling and selective laser sintering, would emerge as the popular technologies adopted for 3D printing in the automotive industry.

Based on applications the automotive 3D printing market is segmented into prototyping & tooling, R&D and innovation, and manufacturing complex parts. Prototyping & tooling, would be the primary application segment, since it reduces the product manufacturing time and additional costs associated with outsourcing tasks. Apart from prototyping and tooling, 3D printing also finds major application in manufacturing of complex parts. It helps in reducing the manufacturing time and material wastage by manufacturing the parts with minimal defects. Materials such as polymers, metal & alloys, are commonly used for 3D printing. Nowadays, polymers are the most prominently used materials to manufacture automotive parts using 3D printing.

Geographically, the market is segmented into four major regions viz. North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and LAMEA. North America presently constitutes the highest market share across the world for 3D printing technology, owing to early adoption and awareness of the aforementioned technology. Growing automotive production in Europe and Asia-Pacific would result in the increasing adoption of 3D printing in these regions over the forecast period. The declining prices of the technology would facilitate the market growth in major automotive production countries such as China, Japan and Brazil.
