| |November 20205Since the advent of additive manufacturing, the manufacturers have been witnessing a sweeping change in terms of ease of production, efficiency, and cost of production. Owing to the primary benefit of 3D printing which is reduction of the wastage of material, manufacturers are now readily adopting it in their manufacturing process. According to a report by Mordor Intelligence, the 3D printing market is expected to become worth USD 63.46 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 29.48 percent by 2025. As per the online manufacturing service provider 3D Hubs, there are three times more professionals using 3D printing today than three years ago. A study done by EY in 2019 says that out of the 900 companies surveyed, 65 percent were already using 3D printing and 18 percent were considering it for their applications in the near future. Although these figures are for the global market and adoption in Indian market is comparatively lesser, the trend moving forward is certainly upbeat with regard to incorporating the technology in the manufacturing sector. If we look at the overall adoption categorically, metal additive manufacturing has been witnessing a comparably higher growth against other segments. The consumer sector on the other hand is lacking lustre, with demand not meeting expectations, especially for small desktop 3D printers. In terms of market players, 3D printer manufacturers still enjoy the largest market share, followed by online service providers. As technological advancements and product innovations are happening, the use of 3D printing technology is finding more and more applications in a wide variety of areas such as aerospace, medical, automotive etc. To bring this special issue to fruition, we have studied this industry segment in-depth and have come up with the list of 10 Most Promising 3D Printing Companies in India who have excelled in this field with their innovative approach.
