The Insight Partners Additive Manufacturing Market | Page 5

Regional Framework
APAC is expected to be the fastest growing region in the additive manufacturing market. The
major reason for this is the huge presence of manufacturing as well as automotive sectors in
China, and India coupled with the large population density of the region. Also, China accounts
for the largest producer of automobiles across the world, the new market initiatives and
strategic partnerships are expected to continue during the forecast period, contributing to
high growth of the additive manufacturing market in the region.
The additive manufacturing market segmentation is done on the basis of material, technology,
and end-user. The additive manufacturing market has been segmented on the basis of
material into plastic, metal, ceramics, and others. Further, the additive manufacturing market
has been segmented on the basis of technology into Selective Laser Sintering (SLS),
Stereolithography (SLA), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), and Others. In recent years, a
large number of industry sectors have displayed a various level of keenness to adopt the
additive manufacturing solution. Accordingly, the additive manufacturing market has also
been segmented on the basis of end-user that includes automotive, aerospace, healthcare,
industrial manufacturing, and others. On the basis of geography, the additive manufacturing
market is analyzed into North America, Europe, Asia- Pacific (APAC), Middle East & Africa
(MEA) and South America (SAM).
