The increasing demand for personalized and customized products will also influence the market growth. 3D printing is revolutionizing patient-specific medical devices, implants, and prosthetics for offering customized solutions that enhance clinical outcomes. The growing shift towards additive manufacturing in education is also driving the product uptake, as educational institutions incorporate 3D printing into their courses to equip students with useful skills for the future.
However, high initial costs and technical limitations may deter the market expansion to some degree. The capital requirements for advanced 3D printers and specialized components can be a barrier for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) and individual users. The limited availability of resources may also hinder the efficiency of some materials.
