APAC 3D 4D Technology Market Analysis
The Asia Pacific 3D 4D Technology Market is expected to register a CAGR of 14.3% during the forecast period. The manufacturing and construction industries have been driving the demand for 3D and 4D printing in the region, primarily due to substantial economic and population growth.
- Emerging countries in this region are looking for highly effective, efficient, and eco-friendly lifting technologies. Since many countries in the region, such as India and China, have highly dense urban areas, cranes with vertical lift features and small working radii are considered additional necessities. This presents an opportunity for 4D printing companies to develop machines that can be enlarged or flattened according to the working space.
- Japan, China, and South Korea are among the leading users of 3D printing technology in Asia. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology formulated a plan for the Chinese 3D printing industry, called the National 3D Printing Industry Development Promotion Plan (2015-2016), which established goals related to the innovation and commercialization of 3D printing in the region. Therefore, the Chinese market experienced significant capital investments by the government, companies, and research institutes in the additive manufacturing space. This is likely to accelerate the pace of additive manufacturing in China, thus paving the way for advancements like 4D printing.
- Moreover, the research facilities in the country are also witnessing increased support from the government. For instance, in February 2020, the Office of the NSW Chief Scientist and Engineer from the New South Wales Government invested about USD 2.15 million in the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF) as a part of the Research Attraction and Acceleration Program (RAAP). This investment is expected to strengthen the facility’s advanced materials process, 3D printing, and 3D bioprinting capabilities.
- The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted the growth of 3D 4D technologies. As additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, including 4D printing, and their approaches transformed the possible ways in which products are developed, designed, manufactured, and distributed, the COVID-19 outbreak is expected to affect the growth of the market studied. However, post-pandemic, the 3D printing companies in the region are anticipated to penetrate the healthcare sector. Furthermore, in the region, the increase in usage of printing technologies is likely to pave the way for 4D printing over the forecast period.
APAC 3D 4D Technology Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the APAC 3D 4D Technology Market according to our research experts:
3D Printing is Expected to Witness Significant Growth
- The construction industry in Asia-Pacific is gradually evolving with new technology. Countries, such as China, have undertaken a considerable amount of construction projects that have become the basis of the country’s modern urban environment. For instance, CCFEB Civil Engineering Ltd adopted Altizure’s 3D reconstruction technique to optimize on-site monitoring. The 3D reconstruction model used by CCFEB Civil Engineering Ltd helped it make records of the project. It can help those who are not at the worksite know about the progress of the work from time to time.
- Apart from construction, 3D printing is also expected to be adopted in the healthcare sector in the region, as it plays an essential role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Compared to 2D images, 3D reconstruction is more accurate and sensitive in diagnosing complicated fractures and deformities.
- Moreover, the growing number of technologies used for 3D printing is anticipated to help market growth. Many Australian startups are making bioprinting technology popular with innovative solutions.
China is Expected to Witness Significant Growth
- 3D technology in China has advanced impressively as of late, considering that the country was not among the earliest adopters of the technology. Over the past few years, the Chinese government has made additive manufacturing technology in the country a priority.
- MIIT, along with 12 other departments, has created a new additive manufacturing Action Plan (2017-2020) to further develop the technology in the country. This plan focuses on strengthening R&D work and accelerating applications of 3D reconstruction and its adoption in the industry.
- There are numerous 3D printing companies in the region, including IEMAI 3D and INTAMSYS, whose machines are compatible with high-performance thermoplastics. Furthermore, in a 2019 study conducted by Materialise, a Belgian software and 3D printing service provider, 44% of the survey respondents reported that outsourcing 3D printing operations to service providers is the preferred model for Chinese manufacturers.
- According to LMC Automotive Limited, more than 80% of the world’s automotive supply chain is related to China. In January 2020, owing to the COVID-19 outbreak in China, the sales of cars declined by 18%. The Chinese Passenger Car Association (CPCA) estimated that the sales of the first two months are expected to decline decrease by 40% or more, as compared to the same period in 2019, mainly due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Production shortfalls resulting from supply chain interruptions in China are expected to impact the global automakers.
