Influencing Factors
Production of prosthetics and implants is the largest application for 3-D printing in the healthcare industry. Design freedom, quick turnaround time, cost efficiency and ability to produce on demand are the few factors which exert a major influence on the market penetration of 3-D printing technology in the healthcare industry. Lack of clarity among end users regarding the medium- and long-term benefits of adopting 3-D printing is a continuing challenge for the industry.
Although 3-D printing is touted as the game-changer in healthcare services, the industry has witnessed low adoption owing to the lack of technical understanding as well as lack of clear regulatory guidance. The first-ever FDA guideline for 3-D printed healthcare products was published only in December 2017. As the regulations become clearer, the adoption of 3-D printing for body-touching devices is likely to increase.
Regional Trends
North America and Europe have traditionally led the healthcare 3-D printing materials market in terms of demand as well as revenue, owing to high R&D and presence of leading 3-D printing machinery and material manufacturers, as well as a progressive healthcare system. North America is set to be the most attractive region over the forecast period and will lead to regional demand in 2025.
North America will be followed by Europe in terms of demand as well as revenue The Asia-Pacific region is a nascent market at present, with substantial growth potential. Japan and China have invested considerably in healthcare 3-D printing technology and a large population base in the region has the potential to lead the market in the long term.
