Aerospace 3D Printing Market Size was USD 2 billion in 2023. The industry of the aerospace 3D printing market is expected to grow from USD 2.4 Billion in 2024 to USD 7.1 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20% in the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Increase in demand for new planes, rising passenger traffic, and rising demand for 3d printed replacement parts are the major market drivers fueling the market growth.
Demand for 3D printed parts globally is increasing due to weight reduction as the lattice structures and the geometry-oriented structures can be utilized in the aerospace industry in order to minimize weight, there is less environmental impact and more return on investment. For example, a pound of weight may cost $10,000 to send into space, therefore, even a small weight reduction may lead to enormous cost saving.

As a result of the wide array of applications of the 3D printed parts in the military, public, and private sectors,
The rise in research and developments activities for more advanced and tailored 3D printed parts for the aerospace sector has introduced new investments and partnerships, mergers, and acquisition in the industry. All the innovation in the sector is aimed at improving the process of additive manufacturing and creating stronger product development solutions for the aerospace sector. The firms engaged in the additive manufacturing of the space industries are raising millions in a seed round of fundraising due to increasing awareness of the commercial uses of 3D printing technology and the appeal of investment in the space industry like Indian startup Skyroot Aerospace, to finance the development of its 3D printed cryogenic engine-powered rockets, has raised USD 51 million.
Rising Demand of 3D Printed Components in
The design and manufacturing of new aircraft is focused on weight reduction, which has given rise to the development of new materials and manufacturing processes. The aerospace industry is among the early adopters of 3D printing, and large-scale research is underway to increase the use of 3D-printed parts and components in newer aircraft. Like for the tooling and prototype of commercial aero plane parts, Airbus has started adopting additive manufacturing. The industry is also witnessing the adoption of additive manufacturing in the in the engine aftermarket and in many new generation aircraft. 3D-printed components are also being adopted for aftermarket parts so the aftermarket demand is also expected to rise during the forecast period and the technological advancements in the industry are expected to generate new opportunities for the global Aerospace 3D Printing Market during the forecast period.
Cost Effective Manufacturing Process
The design and implementation of components have become quicker, less expensive, and simpler due to 3D printing technology. Additionally, it has made possible to combine every component into a single structure, and this has eliminated the need of exterior joints, adhesives, and fasteners. Due to the removal of unnecessary components, the manufacturing process does not incur additional expenditures and the overall component becomes cost effective. The demand for 3D printed engine components is also expected to rise in the forecast period because the 3D printing process basically adds material while printing products instead or removing material from any component like machined parts, so all these factors are increasing the demand of 3D printed components in the aerospace industry.
Technological Challenges
The potential for widespread use of the method is constrained by 3D printing's inability to generate pieces from different materials. There are just a few polymers and metal powders that can be used with current 3D printing technologies. However, the expense of these reduces in the process of additive manufacturing in production compared to the materials used in conventional manufacturing procedures for aero plane parts. Many players are concentrating on choosing materials that are economical, which helps to reduce overall expenditures.
Market Segmentation
The global Aerospace 3D Printing Market is segmented on the basis of application, material, printer technology, and region. Based on application type, the market is segmented into aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, & spacecraft. Based on material, the market is segmented into alloys & special metals, and others. Based on printer technology, the market is split into SLA, FDM, DMLS, SLS, CLIP & Others.
