With 3D printing more and more people’s attention, along with related issues also have surfaced. Material 3D printing bottleneck has become a limiting development priority. Because the real future development of 3D printing will be used at the high end industrial applications, and the development of high-end print material currently still unable to meet the needs of 3D printing technology.
Up to 2019, the global market value of high-end 3D printing materials is expected to increase to $ 650 million, the five-year compound annual growth rate will increase by 17.9%.
According to the US release of the latest BCC Research released a report that, overall, the thermoplastic resin will be the fastest growing class of materials, annual growth rate of 20%. Thermoplastic resins, including ABS, PLA, soft PLA, PVA, PC and PA, the market value of such materials in 2013 was only $ 64.5 million (40 million pounds) to 2019 will rise to $ 192.6 million (120 million pounds) .
Photopolymer is 3D printing materials accounted for the largest category, is expected to reach 2019 market capitalization of $ 380 million (236 million pounds), with an average annual growth rate of 15%.
Photopolymers are often used for high-end 3D printing, including simulation PP, simulation ABS, transparent photopolymer, imitation rubber photopolymer, medical and dental photopolymer.
In 2013, the automotive sector is the largest 3D printing materials market, accounting for more than 26%.
However, is expected to 2019, automotive applications, will drop to third place, less than the medical / dental products and consumer products, both in the 3D printing materials market share will reach 25%, respectively, and 22%.
So the recycling of waste plastic is very important. Recollecting the waste plastic can protect the environment and save the resource, and will make great contributions to the environment and energy crisis.
