The global additive manufacturing market, on the basis of industry types, is classified in the following segments, namely, motor vehicles, consumer products, business machines, medical, academic, aerospace, government/military, and others (architecture, paleontology, and forensic pathology). The additive manufacturing devices market is primarily composed of 3D printers for manufacturing of products; the materials used in additive manufacturing of 3D products include homogeneous materials and heterogeneous materials. This report mainly focuses on additive manufacturing for the medical industry.

The medical segment includes products such as surgical equipments, prosthetics and implants, and tissue engineering. The technologies used in AM of medical devices are Electron Beam Melting (EBM), Laser Based Melting, Photopolymerization, Droplet deposition / Extrusion based technologies, and Three Dimensional Printing/Adhesion Bonding. The additive manufacturing in medical market is used mainly for four different applications - orthopedics, dental, cranio-maxillofacial, and tissue/bio-engineering. The global additive manufacturing market is valued at an estimated $1,843.2 million in 2012 and poised to grow at a CAGR of 13.5% to reach $3,471.9 million in 2017.

Europe is the biggest market for additive manufacturing of medical devices, followed by North America. However, countries in Asia-Pacific represent the fastest growing markets, as large population, rising awareness about advanced manufacturing technologies, increase in sedentary lifestyles and general income levels, booming medical tourism, rising preference towards custom implants due to better and efficient recovery, and increasing dental restorations surgeries have led to an increased drive of patients from developed regions towards India and China. Moreover, established players in the additive manufacturing of medical devices market such as EOS, Materialise, Objet, Startasys, Renishaw, 3D Systems, and Arcam have shown an increased inclination towards Asian countries for market expansion.
