According to a report,” Healthcare 3D Printing Market Analysis By Application (Surgical Guides, Implants, Surgical Instruments, Bioengineering), By Technology (Electron Beam Melting, Stereolithography, Droplet Deposition Manufacturing), By Raw Material (Metals, Biological Cells, Polymers, Ceramics) And Segment Forecast to 2020 ” published by Grand View Research, Inc., The global healthcare 3D printing market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 15.6% from 2014 to 2020 on account of growing need for manufacturing automated products. Rising geriatric population and increasing healthcare requirements across the globe have been majorly driving demand. Rise in number of orthopaedic and cardiovascular disorders occurring prominently among the aged population have resulted in an increased demand for these printing facilities.
Key Takeaways from the report:
Ceramics are commonly used for manufacturing tooth or mandible (jaw bone). Increasing occurrences of tooth problems including fractures and decays resulting in replacement of crowns or entire teeth is expected to propel demand for biocompatible materials including ceramics. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.6% over the forecast period.
Implants accounted for over 60.0% of the global market share in 2013. They are not only cost effective but also provide accuracy which is expected to fuel demand. Customized orthopaedic implants increase performance as they reduce time duration of surgeries. Also, it is convenient and less expensive to tailor 3D printed parts. Dental printers provide metal and wax prosthetics. Rising consumer awareness regarding maintaining oral health is expected to bolster growth over the projected period.
Photo-polymerization technology is extensively utilized by research organizations to produce accurate and efficient bio-models. It was valued over USD 140.0 million in 2013 dominating the global industry. However, laser beam melting is estimated to grow at a CAGR exceeding 16% from 2014 to 2020, thus, becoming the fastest growing technology. It is mostly used for producing orthopaedic implants.
