New ARC Advisory Group research on Additive Manufacturing reveals that market growth will be largely driven by the competitive pressure for product & process innovation and shortened product lifecycle. This will increase the need for smart/integrated assemblies and faster product development cycles, leading to an overall increase in material availability and variety.
“As cycle times decrease, production part manufacturing with additive manufacturing will become viable across more applications and industries. Some industries will experience an increase in adoption to manufacture low- to mid-volume, high-value production parts, but more universal applications will be in high-function prototyping and retrofitting & repair of manufacturing and process lines. The growth of metal-based systems will have the largest impact on the global market over the next five years, significantly outpacing the growth of plastic-based systems,” according to Will Hastings, Analyst at ARC Advisory Group and key author of ARC’s Additive Manufacturing Global Market Research 2017-2022 report.
