Hybrid Additive Manufacturing Machines Market Outlook - 2027
Hybrid manufacturing is a process in which both additive and subtractive manufacturing processes takes place. Hybrid additive manufacturing machines are used in the process of building up a structure, part, or component with another component. These machines have the capability to repair disfigured components with the aid of their advanced features. Also, these machines can significantly reduce the repair and maintenance costs. They can be classified into three types that are metal forming machines, biomaterial forming machines, and non-material forming machines. These are majorly used for the applications like repair, prototype, production, and more in various industries like aerospace, automotive, medical, energy, electronics, and others.
COVID-19 Scenario analysis:
- COVID-19 pandemic has shut-down the production of various products in the hybrid additive manufacturing machines industry, mainly owing to the prolonged lockdown in major global countries. This has hampered the growth of hybrid additive manufacturing machines market significantly from last few months, as is likely to continue during 2020.
- COVID-19 has already affected the sales of equipment and machinery in the first quarter of 2020 and is likely to cause a negative impact on the market growth throughout the year.
- The major demand for equipment and machinery was previously noticed from giant manufacturing countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, the UK, and China, which is badly affected by the spread of coronavirus, thereby halting the demand for equipment and machinery.
- Further, potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and financial recovery of companies is totally based on its cash reserves. Equipment and machinery companies can afford a full lockdown only for a few months, after which the players would have to modify their investment plans.
- Equipment and machinery manufacturers must focus on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond toward immediate crises and find new ways of working after COVID-19 infection cases start to decrease.
Drivers, restraints, and opportunities
The rising demand for hybrid additive manufacturing systems due to their lightweight and robust nature in end-use industries like medical, aerospace, automotive, and others is one of the major factors driving the growth of the hybrid additive manufacturing machines market. Besides, manufacturing of dental fixtures, orthopedic implants, and prosthetic limbs for amputees essentially require hybrid additive manufacturing machines which can steer the demand for these machines in the market. Moreover, investments for effective productivity and improved performance of intelligent product solutions is expected to propel the growth of the hybrid additive manufacturing machines market. However, high installation costs associated with these machines is a restraining factor for the market growth. Conversely, notable growth in the end-use industries like automotive, aerospace, and others in countries such as China, Japan, U.S.A and others is anticipated to create lucrative growth opportunities for the hybrid additive manufacturing machines market during the forecast period.
