Personal 3D Printers Market Outlook – 2030
The global personal 3D printers market size was valued at $1.69 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $5.44 billion by 2030, to register a CAGR of 13.50% during the forecast period. 3D printers are part of the additive manufacturing family and use similar methods to a traditional inkjet printer-albeit in 3D. It takes a combination of top-of-the-line software, powder-like materials, and precision tools to create a three-dimensional object from scratch. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes.
In an additive process, object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced cross-section of the object. The materials used in 3D printing include various types of polymers, metals, and ceramics. 3D printing offers methodologies that make manufacturing of complex designs an apparent reality.
3D printing delivers customers with tailored and customized products as per their requirement. However, it may not replace common assembly line methods. Consumers can develop products as per their requirements such as customized toys, shoes, decorative items, jewelry, and more; thus, giving the freedom of producing items as per the specification. 3D printer provides platform for creation along with the freedom of manufacturing objects and designing them exactly as per user specifications.
The prominent factors that drive the growth of the personal 3D printers market include high demand for 3D printing in dental industry, government initiatives toward the adoption of 3D printing technology, and capability to offer customized products. Rise in popularity of tooth conditions is resulting in increase in tooth replacement surgeries, growth in elderly population, and surge in demand for customized dental 3D printing solutions drive the demand for 3D printers across the globe.
In addition, increase in collaborations by key leading players and growth in awareness among consumers are also likely to help the personal 3D printers market growth. In addition, 3D printing technology is widely used in various applications across the globe, as it helps reduce manufacturing cost and enables the mass production of industrial goods. Governments of several countries are taking initiatives to support the adoption of the 3D printing process in various industries.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis
COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected many industries. It has put a halt on the production process as well as led to shortage of raw materials. Thus, hampering the trade cycle. All these factors affected the personal 3D printers market growth. The industries where 3D printers are used, i.e., education, entertainment, and photography, are non-operation in nature in this pandemic situation. Therefore, the demand for 3D printers has declined to great extent over previous financial quarter and the similar trends are expected during the next financial quarter as well.
In addition, slowdown in productions by OEMs and reduction in demand for 3D printers have slightly pulled down the 3D printers market. In addition, reduction in various capital budgets and delay in planned projects in various industries have hampered the global economy.
North America is one of the key regions for the adoption and growth of advance technologies. Hence, any impact on the growth of industries is expected to affect the economic growth of the region in a negative manner. This pandemic and ongoing situation around the globe impact the market size, with China and the U.S. being the important markets for personal 3D printers industry.
