The report “3D Printing Materials Market by Plastics (ABS, PLA, Nylon & Others), By Metals (Steel, Titanium, Gold & Others), by Ceramics (Silica, Glass & Others), by Others (Laywood & Others), by Forms & by End-User Industries – Global Trends & Forecasts to 2018” by MarketsandMarkets is now available at RnRMarketResearch.com. Contact sales@rnrmarketresearch.com with report name in subject line and your contact details to purchase this report or get your questions answered.

The method to print an object layer by layer to create a three-dimensional object from a digital file with the use of a material is called 3D printing and the materials used are called 3D printing materials. The material used plays the key role in any 3D printing technology as 3D printed objects have the ability to be used practically. With the latest technologies and innovative materials, 3D printing technology has become a global revolution. This revolutionary market has the ability to manufacture objects that are used in industrial, commercial, medical, and several other industries. The type of materials can be classified into plastics, metals, ceramics, and others. Each material has its individual access in various industries with respective features and applications.


Plastics are in high demand, especially ABS and PLA. Plastics are the major 3D printing materials, as they are durable and flexible materials that are available in the market with a wide range of colors. With the invention of home 3D printers that uses plastic filaments to 3D print any object, the demand for these materials has grown aggressively and is expected to continue in the next five years. 3D printing, with their ability to manufacture any three dimensional object with a simple design and setup equipment brought about an awareness among people to design and manufacture their own products, instead of depending on online purchases, where the choice is limited and the customer has to compromise with the available designs. Metals are the strongest materials available in the market, but are extremely expensive. Metals include steel, titanium, aluminum, copper, silver, gold, nickel, cobalt, etc. Metal 3D printing is a costly method as the metal printers use laser methods to manufacture any objects. Hence, metal materials are limited to high-end applications. Ceramics and Others are affordable materials that will garner a high demand in future.

The demand for 3D printing materials is influenced by the growing awareness of the ability to manufacture objects with the use of 3D printing technology where a simple CAD design and 3D printer are necessary. 3DP materials are printer specific and are available universally. There are wide ranges of materials that can print plastic toys to metal guns, dental crowns to human heart, automotive parts to satellite parts, car to aero jets, and so on. The 3DP materials can be in the form of filaments, powders, and liquids, based on the end-user interest. Generally, plastics come in the form of filaments and metals come in the form of powders. Metal powders too costly and are used in high-end applications, whereas plastics are available in different prices that range from low to high and are mostly used in consumer 3D printing. Currently, 3DP materials are mainly concentrated in North America, APAC, and Europe. The APAC and North American markets are expected to grow at a higher rate in future.


The 3D printing materials market is moderately fragmented, where 3D Systems Inc. (U.S.), Stratasys Ltd. (U.S.); Arcam AB (Sweden); and ExOne Gmbh (Germany) captured about 75.0% of the market share in production and supply. The companies in this market need to compete with each other with respect to prices and a wide product range with an advanced technology in order to meet the market requirements.

The report analyzes the 3D printing materials market in various applications and covers the market demand with respective regions. The report also provides a market overview for the 3D printing material market.

Global Butadiene Market to 2020 - Synthetic Rubber Demand Declines due to Slowdown in the Automobile Sector in Europe and Asia-Pacific

Butadiene Global Market to 2020 – Synthetic Rubber Demand Declines due to Slowdown in the Automobile Sector in Europe and Asia-Pacific” is an in-depth report, which is focused on the demand side of the global butadiene industry. The report provides the reader with detailed analysis and forecasts of the major economic and market trends affecting global butadiene demand in the major regions of the world. It also provides analysis and description of the major drivers and restraints affecting butadiene demand in each region.

European production of Butadiene, the chemical required to create the synthetic rubber used for tyres, will soon overtake demand for the first time since 2000 as a result of the continent’s shrinking car industry, says industry analysts GBI Research in their latest report.

The firm’s new study Butadiene Global Market to 2020 states that Europe’s demand for butadiene last year was 2,459,778 tons while production stood at 2,246,137 tons. However, this disparity is expected to invert in 2015 when production will outpace demand by 162,953 tons.

According to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, European car sales have shrunk for nine consecutive months in 2012, and truck demand is down for the last five months. Furthermore, it forecasts that passenger car sales in the EU will shrink 7% this year to 12.2 million vehicles, 21% below the 2007 peak, with the weakest demand since 1995.

Such deflated demand for new cars has correspondingly damaged the need for butadiene in Europe, but rather than scale back the chemical’s manufacture, companies are moving to increase production with an eye on the export market.

Major butadiene production capacity additions include LyondellBasell’s expansion of its extraction unit in Wesseling, Germany, and Versalis’s plans to build a new 70,000 ton/year unit at its Dunkirk site in France.

Last year’s global demand for butadiene stood at 10,259,583 tons and GBI Research expects this figure to reach 14,543,120 tons by the end of 2020, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.9%.

Asia-Pacific is expected to continue as the world’s most butadiene-hungry region, with demand predicted to reach 8,410,981 tons before the end of decade.
