3D Printing Photopolymer Market, By Technology (Digital light processing, Polyjet, Stereolithography), By Light Spectrum (Ultraviolet, Visible, Infrared), By End-Use Industry (Healthcare, Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Electronics & Electrical), By Region (North America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Rest of the World) – Market Size & Forecast by 2032

The 3D Printing Photopolymers market size is projected to reach USD 1.76 Billion in 2022 at a CAGR of 15.98% during the forecast period.  Significant use of 3D printing technology in the pharmaceutical applications as well as in aerospace & defense parts is anticipated to drive the market during the forecast period.

In today’s market scenario, photopolymers are the most commonly used materials under polymers in 3D printing technology. These materials are inexpensive in comparison with metals and are significantly more reliable, which is one aspect behind their increasing popularity. As 3D printing matures, developers continue to explore photopolymer chemistries and capabilities to offer materials that compete with traditional ways.  Photopolymers are used in stereolithography (SLA), and polyjet processes under 3D printing. Stereolithography (SLA) is a 3D printing process used for the creation of prototypes, models & patterns in a layer by layer sequence with the use of a number of processes. Stereolithography is extensively used in the healthcare sector to develop prototypes pertaining to certain medications. These prototypes are then thoroughly analyzed & some concrete conclusions are drawn. This helps in systematical planning of medicinal development. In electronics, stereolithography is used to develop models in various electronic devices that are still under testing. These models in comprehensively studying different nuances present in the device.
