As key players introduce new rapid prototyping in developed markets such as North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, these regions are likely to account for dominating share of the global rapid prototyping market. Growing demand for rapid prototyping from the growing consumer goods & electronics industry in emerging markets such as China, Japan, and India is likely to boost growth of the Asia Pacific rapid prototyping market at a growth rate of around 15% from 2018 to 2026.

Higher initial cost of 3D printer rapid prototyping for heavy applications to affect the expansion of rapid prototyping worldwide

Rapid prototyping has gained significant attention and has become one of the most sought after technological advancements. Rapid prototyping helps in the manufacturing of a product effectively by reducing the time between the design and final production. Initial cost of a 3D printer used for rapid prototyping is very high and this initial cost is one of the prominent factors holding back the growth of 3D printing and rapid prototyping. For instance, high quality 3D printers can cost upward of up to US$ 2 million. Furthermore, one of the issues with rapid prototyping is that 3D printers tend to be small and as a result the size of the developed product is also small. However, there are huge 3D printers available in the market, but the cost of such printers is very high for smaller sized companies. With respect to cost, bigger industries such as automotive and aerospace have no problems in using the bigger 3D printers. However, many companies still have to use traditional methods of manufacturing until the cost of bigger machines goes down. Many players in the rapid prototyping space are trying to develop and offer cost effective 3D printers to excel in the continuously increasing competition and to promote rapid prototyping.

Demand for rapid prototyping is continuously increasing across many industry verticals around the globe

Rapid prototyping is the creation of models at a higher speed, which are examined functionally and/or visually during the process of product development. Although the terms 3D printing and rapid prototyping are used interchangeably, 3D printing is the method and rapid prototyping is the end result. Furthermore, rapid prototyping is used in physical and non-physical product development. For instance, in software development, as an alternative to the traditional “waterfall” method, it uses “rapid application development” (RAD) rapid prototyping. Many industry verticals including automotive, aerospace, and healthcare are using rapid prototyping for product development, as it gives engineers and designers the benefit of design modification during the development stage until it is considered for production. Additionally, it is also a great way to test various finishes and materials on the product at a much faster rate before launch to market.

North America is the leading contributor to the rapid prototyping market

In terms of value, North America was the leading contributor to the global rapid prototyping market in 2017. The contribution is primarily due to the booming rapid prototyping marketplace along with the presence of well-established players across the region, especially driven by the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. is home to many well-established players from the rapid prototyping domain including3D Systems, Inc., Stratasys Ltd., and Carpenter Technology Corporation. Furthermore, North America is witnessing higher adoption of rapid prototyping due to continuously rising automotive and healthcare industry. Many companies are trying to innovate novel products pertaining to rapid prototyping to compete with the other well-established players across the region and globe. For instance, in April 2018, Stratasys Ltd. announced advancement in its products namely J750 and J735 3D printers, to reduce the time-to-market and development cycles. Furthermore, it will help customers and designers to build rapid prototypes with streamlined design-to-prototype workflows for faster time-to-market.
