[ 170 + Pages Research Report ] 3D Printing in Aerospace and Defense to surpass USD 14.17 billion by 2031 from USD 1.67 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 23.9% in the coming years, i.e., 2021-31.
3D Printing or additive manufacturing includes a process by which three-dimensional objects are made from a digital file. All the process is under the control of the computer and a physical object is formed by a 3D digital modal, by laying down numerous thin layers of a material.3D Printing is energy efficient and provides unprecedented design freedom at no extra cost. Aerospace and Defense are the early adopters of 3D Printing in the earliest stages of product development and prototyping. Additive manufacturing provides flexibility to produce complex structures with less wastage which were earlier difficult to manufacture.
3D Printing in Aerospace and Defense market is expected to project a notable CAGR of 23.9% in 2031.
The factors driving the growth of 3D Printing in Aerospace and Defense market include advanced manufacturing of complex components, as well as a greater emphasis on producing lightweight parts for the aerospace industry.
Aircraft segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2021-31
Global 3D Printing in Aerospace and Defense Market is classified by application into Aircraft, Unmanned Ariel Vehicles, and Spacecraft. The Aircraft segment currently dominates the market and is expected to do so throughout the forecast period. After the massive lockdown due to COVID-19 outbreak which caused huge losses to the aviation industry, global air traffic is expected to resume at the pre- COVID levels in the near future which will increase the demand for more aircraft for commercial use. Also, many developing countries are likely to invest in mega projects related to defense equipment including fighter jets and other defense aircraft.
The Engine Components segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2021-31
Global 3D Printing in Aerospace and Defense Market is fragmented by application type into Engine Components, Structural Components, and Space Components. The Engine Components segment is the largest revenue generator and is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. Many manufacturers have adopted additive manufacturing processes owing to the cost-effectiveness, high durability, and freedom to complex designing of the end products.
Increase in demand for efficient technology for manufacturing
Aerospace and defense manufacturers worldwide are extensively focusing on producing components more efficiently by making them lightweight and fuel efficient. Traditional aircraft are quite heavy and thus require more fuel for their operation. 3D Printing makes the components comparatively lightweight which cuts the operating costs of the aircraft.3D Printed parts require less time for assembling and thus they reduce the production and distribution time.3D Printing can produce complex designs and are able to produce less scrap in comparison with the traditional machines.
Increase in investment in Aerospace and Defense by Governments
As economies around the globe are growing rapidly, their aerospace and defense expenditure is also increasing. Especially, developing nations that are leaning towards becoming self-sufficient are expected to create the demand for additive manufacturing. With governments giving subsidies to manufacturers and inviting FDIs in the industry, this will likely boom the demand for 3D Printing.
Limited production scale and high procurement costs
3D Printing is time taking when production is done on a large scale, contrary to the conventional methods which are more efficient in bulk production. Also, 3D Printing is restricted to only a few of metals and plastic today. Some 3D Printing parts which are made out of metal are very expensive. Thus it pose a great challenge in running and procuring 3D Printers.
Global 3D Printing in Aerospace and Defense market is segmented based on regional analysis into five major regions: North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East and Africa. North America is likely to witness the largest share of the global 3D Printing market during the forecast period. The United States is the largest manufacturer of the defense and aerospace industry and it caters to all the regional demand. It is moving towards modernizing its technology and existing aircrafts. The presence of key players and rising investment by US government will drive the demand for 3D Printing.
The global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the 3D printing market, disrupting the global demand and blocking the supply chains in the world. With the imposition of lockdown by major manufacturing economies resulted in the downfall of sales and hampered the growth of the industry. Major orders by aviation industry were put on hold because of less passengers traveling during the pandemic. Furthermore many countries were overburdened by government support for increasing expenditure in healthcare systems due to which there was fall in expenditure in the aerospace and defense sector.
