Bioplastic Powder Materials Are The Fastest Growing Segment Fueling The Growth Of 3d Printing Extrusion Materials Market
The global 3D Printing Extrusion Materials Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 12.77 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 19% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
3D printing extrusion materials are used as feedstock in fused filament fabrication (FFF) process in 3D printing and provide mechanical strength, durability and temperature resistance to 3D printed objects. Common 3D printing extrusion materials include thermoplastics like acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polylactic acid (PLA) and high-performance polymers.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends gaining traction in the 3D printing extrusion materials market is growing demand for bioplastic materials like polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). Bioplastics are produced from renewable feedstock like corn, sugar cane or Microbial fermentation and offers sustainability benefits over conventional petroleum-based plastics. Bioplastics have mechanical properties comparable to ABS and are gaining popularity, especially in Europe where legislations are pushing for adoption of green materials. Furthermore, research is ongoing on development of novel bio-based material formulations with superior properties to foster the sustainability of 3D printing.
