4D Printing in Healthcare Market by Component (Equipment, 3D printer SMM, Hydrogels, Software, Service, Cells), Technology (FDM, SLS, Stereolithography), Application (Research Model, Implant), End user (Hospital, Dental Lab, ASC) & Region - Global Forecasts to 2026
The 4D printing in healthcare market size is projected to reach USD 32 million by 2026, at a CAGR of 29.9%. Growth in this market is driven mainly by technological advancements in 3D printing technology, such as the development of smart, programmable materials. On the other hand, high development & production costs, need for compliance with regulatory & performance standards that will slow product launches, and potential safety hazards are expected to restrain the growth of the 4D printing in medical market to a certain extent
In 2021, the software & services segment accounted for the largest share of the 4D printing in healthcare market
Based on component, the market is segmented into equipment, programmable materials, and software & services. The software & services segment is expected to dominate the market in 2021 and register the highest growth during the forecast period.
Software has a diverse range of applications in additive manufacturing. 3D printing software is used for creating, designing, and assembling models required in the healthcare space. This software also inspects prototypes to ensure that the required specifications have been met. The file preparation software prepares STL and SLC files to develop the product design. Software needed for 4D printing should fully support the 4D printing process. However, research on 4D printing software is limited as the 4D printing technology is still in the nascent stage.
The PolyJet segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on technology, the FDM segment is expected to account for the largest share of the 4D printing in healthcare market in 2021. However, the PolyJet segment is expected to register the highest growth during the forecast period. This technology enables the development of complex shapes with intricate details and delicate features. It offers products with a variety of colors and materials into a single model. The reduced material wastage due to the higher accuracy of deposition and the ability to use multiple materials and colors are the major advantages of this process, thus, driving its demand.
The medical & research models segment accounted for the largest share of the 4D printing in healthcare market in 2021
Based on application, the 4D printing in medical market is segmented into medical & research models, surgical guides, and patient-specific implants. In 2021, the medical & research models segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market. These models can be customized as per the patient’s pathology, which will further help in delivering efficient patient care. The ability of the 4D printing technology to manufacture smart medical models will bring significant transformation in the medical field and will support the growth of this segment in the forecast period.
North America accounted for the largest share of the 4D printing in healthcare market during the forecast period
Geographically, the 4D printing in medical market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia, and the Rest of the World (RoW). In 2021, North America is estimated to be the largest regional market for 4D printing in healthcare. This can majorly be attributed to the continuous technological advancements, growing demand for organ transplantation, efforts taken in the research & development of the 4D printing technology in the healthcare sector, and the presence of highly developed healthcare infrastructure in the region.

Market Size Estimation
Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and validate the total size of the global 4D printing in healthcare market. These methods were also used extensively to estimate the size of various subsegments in the market. The research methodology used to estimate the market size includes the following:
- The key players in the industry and markets have been identified through extensive secondary research.
- 4D was not commercialized until 2018, thus the revenue generated from the sale of 3D printing in healthcare solutions and services by leading players has been determined through primary and secondary research.
- All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns have been determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources.
Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall 4D printing in medical market size from the market size estimation process, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments. Data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable, to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and sub-segments. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides.
