Outlook of Mergers & Acquisitions, Investments, and Patents in the 3D Printing Market (20102016)
The M&A activity in the 3D printing industry has picked up pace in terms of the value as well as the number of deals. The analysis of many M&A deals reveals that 3D printing companies look for small- and mid-sized players that have lower operating expenses compared to their growth potential in the 3D printing industry value chain. Small-to mid-sized companies lacking the scale to grow have become attractive takeover targets for major players. There were maximum M&A deal announcements in 2014; it was a record year since 2010; this was followed by the number of announcements between 2013 and 2015.The information related to mergers and acquisitions in the market was sourced from company websites, press releases, annual reports, and public media. This analysis comprises all individual mergers or acquisitions, their disclosed or undisclosed values, minority stake purchases, and acquisitions of remaining stakes announced between Jauary 2010 and March 2016. The report, based on geography, is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and South America). Cross-border deals considered in this report are the deals signed between two companies headquartered in different regions. Domestic deals include the deals between two companies headquartered in the same region.
This research study involves the extensive usage of secondary sources to identify and collect information useful for this technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the 3D printing market. The primary sources are mainly several experts from core and related industries and preferred suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, service providers, reimbursement providers, technology developers, alliances, and standard & certification organizations related to all the segments of this industrys value chain. In-depth interviews have been conducted with various primary respondents, including key industry participants, subject matter experts (SMEs), C-level executives of key players, and consultants among other experts to obtain and verify critical qualitative and quantitative information as well as assess future prospects.
The term deal value (either in M&A deals or investment deals), when referenced herein, refers to deals with a disclosed value in USD million. While estimating global transactional activities, mostly, the data on completed deals has been considered rather than announced deal values as it reflects the actual outcome.

Growth opportunities and latent adjacency in Outlook of Mergers & Acquisitions, Investments, and Patents in the 3D Printing Market
Dear Representative, Could you clarify which private equity firms are interested in acquiring 3D printing players?
Currently we are very interested in finding information about the 3D industry in Mexico, therefore if your report have some information about it we will be really driven to purchase it.
We are a 3D printing start up looking for the most valid information on the M&A trends in the market.
We are trying to enter into the 3D printing market and would like to identify best fit for acquisition. What were the parameters considered for analyzing the listed companies? Would like a detailed description on that. Further, can we have analysis of few more companies of our choice?
