The global 3D printing medical devices market is forecasted to grow to USD 9515 Mn by 2027 from USD 2517 Mn in 2022. This market is expected to progress at a robust CAGR of 30.46% during the forecast period.
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a layer-by-layer addition approach to turning a three-dimensional computer file into actual customized medical equipment and goods. Using a 3D scanner, digital camera, or 3D modeling software, 3D printing software builds a computer-aided design (CAD) package. Medical device 3D printing is the 3D manufacture of healthcare-related products for treatment and use, especially in healthcare applications. This manufacturing process entails various production processes/techniques, all based on producing a digital file/image of the thing to be created before converting this virtual file into physical items using various ways. Sales of 3D printed medical equipment and related services make up the 3D printed medical devices industry.
3D printing is a computer-aided design approach for creating three-dimensional medical items. For example, orthopedic and cranial implants, surgical equipment, dental restorations such as crowns, and external prostheses are 3D printed medical items. Furthermore, it has various advantages over traditional reconstructive operations, including reducing operating risks during complex operations, infection susceptibility, and aesthetic exposure time. Due to this, patients would be able to heal faster and spend less time in the hospital. Furthermore, 3D printing technology allows surgeons to enhance their results.
The global 3D printing medical devices market has experienced a significant decline in growth due to COVID-19.
COVID-19 has disrupted many lives in unexpected ways. During the lockdown period, many surgeries were either canceled or postponed. Due to this reason, the market’s growth rate has seen a sharp decline. Especially in the first half of 2020, there were restrictions in the movement where only emergency cases were treated. However, with the government's unlock guidelines in various countries, the market is picking up, and experts from the industry have predicted that the market will regain its normal position very soon. Furthermore, coronavirus shows severe illness in people suffering from chronic diseases such as cancer. These patients undergo emergency treatment procedures where 3D printing medical devices play a vital role in increasing the surgery's success rate. These factors are expected to fuel the market's growth rate to recover faster.
Soaring usage of 3D printing in the medical devices industry and rising technological advancements are thriving the growth of the 3D printing medical devices market.
The adoption of 3D printing has increased in medical device manufacturing due to the fall in the price of 3D models and the availability of a broad range of material options. For Instance, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, many women in the U.S. perform breast augmentations, the most common surgical procedure in women. The usage of these 3D implants helps avoid complications and reduces the time taken for the surgery. According to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OCTN), an increasing number of patients with organ transplantation in the U.S. will continue in the coming years. The U.S. FDA has reviewed over 100 medical devices made using 3D printers under knee replacements and cranial implants categories. In addition, FDA has approved 3D printed titanium implant devices and 3D systems.
Other major driving factors boosting the medical 3D printing market are the rising demand for patient-specific products in orthopedics and maxillofacial surgery. Besides, the latest technological advancements, growing awareness about the new developments, diversity of materials that range from polymers to living tissue, supportive policies, and government funding are also helping market growth.
Furthermore, increasing incidences of chronic diseases and a patient's well-being after surgeries are key driving factors for the market to grow. Additionally, the increasing demand for manufacturing high-quality equipment in less time for various medical sector applications fuels the market's need. Increasing support from the private and public organizations in maintaining advanced equipment, increasing the geriatric population, and the rise in the number of emergency cases with injuries are also likely to bolster the growth of the 3d printing medical device industry.
However, the high costs involved with installing and maintaining 3D printing medical devices are a significant impediment to the market's growth. In addition, rapid economic strategies may also negatively impact the development of this 3D printing medical devices market.
