Drivers and Restraints of the Middle East and Africa 3D Printing Metals Market

Metals are crucial in additive manufacturing which has resulted in the improved investments in this sector. The 3D printing metal industry is witnessing a spike in demand from applications in the defense and aerospace industries. The construction sector in the Middle East region has been growing rapidly and the majority of the buildings in this region are expected to be based on 3D printing technology by 2026. 3D printing metal is used as a fuel nozzle and the augmented adoption in the making of crucial parts in the automobile and aerospace sectors is touted to boost the revenue and sales in this industry.

The extraction process involved in this market is likely to result in health concerns and harmful effects in the environment. In addition, the extraction expenses are relatively high, which is pushing the market players away from this business in developed economies.

3D Printing metal market has been segmented into the following categories

On the basis of the Offering

Printer
Material
Software
Service

On the basis of the Process

Binder Jetting
Material Extrusion
Direct Energy Deposition
Material Jetting
Power Bed Fusion

The hardware components are foreseen to record a substantial share in the regional market compared to software in the coming years. By process, binder jetting is likely to expand with a steady growth rate in the MEA market.

Geographical overview and regional presence

Already actively engaged in additive manufacturing, in South Africa the Department of Science and Technology elaborated in 2016 the official strategy to address the future market opportunities and position the country as a global competitor in this field. The strategy represents the attempt to optimize and capitalize on the development of this industry, showed by the growth in the number of 3D machines from 268 in 2011 to 3,500 by the end of 2016. Jewelry, prototyping, and tooling are the main applications of 3D printing metals, but several end-user sectors included in the area are aerospace and military, medical and dental, government strategies, manufacturing, automobile, materials development, and so on.

Israel is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecasted period, however, UAE will have the largest market share.
