The North America 3D printing medical devices market is expected to grow from US$ 848.0 million in 2021 to US$ 2,672.9 million by 2028; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 17.8% from 2021 to 2028. 3D printers are used to manufacture various medical devices, including those with complex geometry or features that match a patient’s unique anatomy. A few devices are printed from a standard design, and then multiple identical copies of the same device are made. Patient-matched or patient-specific devices are created from the patient-specific imaging data. The technology used for 3D printing depends on many factors, including the intended use of printed products and the simplicity of the printer. Powder bed fusion is the most common technology used for the 3D printing of medical devices. This technique is compatible with several materials used in medical devices, such as titanium and nylon. With 3D printing, creating patient-specific, tactile reference models from CT scans and MRI is affordable and simple. These models provide an additional perspective that helps physicians better prepare for surgeries, resulting in drastically reduced time and cost of a medical procedure performed inside an operating room. This may benefit patients through greater satisfaction, lowered anxiety, and shortened recovery time. In addition to this, the launch of new biocompatible medical 3D printing materials helps develop new surgical tools and techniques to improve the clinical experience during surgeries. The tools that can be printed using 3D printing techniques include sterilizable fixation trays, contouring templates, and implant sizing models. It can be used to size implants in the operating room before the first cut, allowing surgeons to save time and improve accuracy during complex procedures.
Based on component, the 3D printing medical devices market is segmented into software and services, equipment, and material. In 2021, the material segment accounted for the largest share. Moreover, the software and services segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak has highlighted the importance of 3D printing in addressing crucial shortages in the medical product supply chain. The 3D-printing industry is currently focused on the US and Western European countries. In early March 2020, the medical community in the US faced significant shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE), PPE attachments, and medical instruments required to treat COVID-19 patients. Individuals and businesses in the US designed and manufactured additively built PPE, PPE attachments, and medical gadgets to fulfill the needs of the healthcare community. As hospitals focused on the COVID-19 pandemic, access to clients to sell and implement 3D printing medical devices decreased in March 2020 and during the second quarter of 2020. The shutdown of manufacturing facilities due to lockdowns and interruptions in supply chains had a minor impact on the geographical growth of the 3D printing medical devices market in 2020. Established vendors recovered due to the increasing demand and helped reduce crucial shortages of nasopharyngeal swabs and face shields.
