China Additive Manufacturing (AM) Market was valued at USD 2.03 billion in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 1.16 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 24.4% from 2023 to 2030.
The expanding capabilities of 3D printing technologies in China are unlocking significant potential and enabling a wide range of applications for additive manufacturing in the construction industry. For instance, Xi’an Bright Laser Technologies has collaborated with Airbus for years to supply metal 3D-printed aviation parts in Asia and has been even conducting joint R&D together for developing new designs.
However, the adoption of additive manufacturing technologies, which include printers, materials, and post-processing equipment, is hindered by their relatively high costs compared to traditional manufacturing methods. This cost factor poses a challenge to the accessibility and adoption of additive manufacturing, especially for small and medium-sized businesses. Consequently, it is anticipated to restrain the overall growth of the market.
Continuous advancements in additive manufacturing technologies, including improved printer capabilities, enhanced materials, and more efficient post-processing techniques, have fueled the growth of the market. These advancements enable higher quality, faster production, and expanded application possibilities, attracting more industries to adopt additive manufacturing. Thus, it is expected to create ample opportunities for the market.
