Industrial 3D printing consultancy specialistampower预计添加剂制造市场将在未来四年内每年雷电竞充值增长18.2％。
In the firm’s latest market research, it found that 2021 was marked by regained growth after the initial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and as such by 2026 the overall 3D printing sector will be worth an estimated €20 billion by 2026.
该报告还将聚合物3D打印市场的估计为金属的两倍半，尽管后者的增长率超过25％，直到2026年，而聚合物的速度仅为14.4％。
PBF领先金属AM
ampower’s survey is targeted towards machine suppliers, with system supplier respondents reportedly representing more than 90 percent of the worldwide installed base of metal and polymer 3D printing systems. The firm claims to have amassed more than 23,600 data points for its latest report, providing a comprehensive mixed market dataset designed to predict future developments.
该公司先前的市场研究报告预测，该市场从199大流行中的市场迅速恢复metal 3D printing grow significantlyover the next few years, and this year at least this estimation seems to be ringing true.
ampower’s latest survey has valued the metal additive manufacturing market at €2.5 billion in 2021, with an expected yearly growth of 25.5 percent until 2026. Powder bed fusion (PBF) technologies continue to dominate the market, taking the largest share of the sector’s systems sales at 40 percent.
报告指出,一般来说,sinter-based technologies are continuing to attract much attention, although many in the industry have recognized that despite the potential of these highly productive methods, it may take longer than initially thought to transition these technologies into production settings. In this vein, the report underlines the importance of development efforts regarding part design, process simulation, and post-processing to enable such technologies to achieve industrialization.
Interestingly, the report found a large discrepancy between the expectations of suppliers and buyers who contributed their insights, particularly regarding metal material extrusion. While suppliers of metal extrusion-based systems predict they will have a market share of 20 percent of sold systems in 2026, buyers were less optimistic, projecting a share of below three percent.
The report suggests similar effects can be seen, albeit on a less severe scale, when looking at the sales numbers of PBF systems. According to AMPOWER, sales of PBF systems have not progressed as expected and still remain below the record year for units sold in 2018.
2021年出售了1,533个PBF系统，在过去几年中买家预测的1,645个系统略低于供应商预测的1,739个售出的单位。该报告指出，将供应商和买家从去年的调查与今年的观点进行比较，这两个小组都遏制了他们未来的期望。
医疗领导机器销售收入
According to AMPOWER’s report, the medical sector remains the strongest overall segment in additive manufacturing, purchasing machines with a value of €302 million in 2020. The sector’s share of total system sales revenue decreased to 15 percent in 2021 from 19 percent in 2020, however, after a rise in 3D printing systems were acquired during the pandemic to overcome healthcare supply chain issues.
该报告强调了最初缺乏鼻拭子，例如those produced by MIT spin-out OPT Industries作为一个示例，导致3D打印系统销售加息之前，传统的供应链赶上了需求，并且需要打印它们的需求就停止了。
根据Ampower的数据，目前，空间在较大机器的高价销售方面主导了金属系统收入。关于聚合物，在打印机销售方面，汽车，医疗和工业行业是最强的。

AM市场分析
3 d打印技术市场分析可以提供一些notable insights into how the industry is performing financially, as well as an indication as to the latest trends in additive manufacturing. However, some reports can be limited in their scope, and throw up contradictions as to the true performance of the sector.
For instance, the世界经济论坛recently published a potential roadmap forrapidly driving the wider adoption of 3D printing这表明，尽管围绕3D打印的“炒作循环”，但关于该技术潜力的“并非所有预测和预测”已成为现实。
While AMPOWER’s report has estimated the global metal and polymer additive manufacturing market as growing by 16.2 percent in terms of machine sales between 2020 and 2021, thelatest Wohlers Report指出，与上一年相比，2021年的整体增雷电竞充值材制造业增长了19.5％。
Similarly,上下文most recent industry report observed that while shipments of industrial and “design” printers priced over $20,0002021年反弹, the number of new high-end printers sold during the yearstill lagged behind pre-Covid levels。
With various studies tapping into different areas of the industry and quantifying and measuring their data against different metrics, it can be difficult to assess the true overall performance of the 3D printing sector.
