Market Highlights

4D printing is an emerging technology which is an advancement of 3D printing. Market Research Future in its study enlists various factors such as technology advances, design flexibility, and more that leads to bringing in new types of products is, therefore, driving the market in a positive way.

Market Research Future (MRFR) reports that the global 4D printing market is projected to grow at USD 162 million by 2022.  The market is set to expand at 39% CAGR during the forecast period (2019-2022). 4D printing is the process via which a 3D printed object turns itself into another structure due to influence of external energy input such as temperature, light or other environmental stimuli.

The 4D printing market is expected to thrive on the integration of the new printing technologies across verticals. Printing technology is revolutionizing which indicates comfort of effortless manufacturing of things with desired structure. These factors are boosting the market to a great extent and developing rapidly to benefit the customers in every possible way.

On the other side, more factors such as military applications are also having a forceful demand for 4D printing technology. By this, soldiers can have a camouflage that can adapt to various environments and metals. Such a situation can increase the performance of tanks and trucks, according to the changes in the environment. Therefore, owing to its benefits in producing guns, machinery, and other defense technologies, 4D printing is being increasingly explored by the military, which is yet again an essential factor fostering the market.

Apart from this, it is the automotive sector that is driving the 4D Printing market inevitably and will continue to expand the market during the forecast period owing to the factors such as in making prototypes, productions, concepts, and samples, in education, arts, and more. These are the sections where the use of 4D printing is booming rapidly. Other than these, various end-users such as medical, aerospace and defense, automotive are also the advanced extension of 3D printing, thus bolstering the 4D printing market over the forecast period.
