Present situation and development prospect of 3d printing technology

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing technology, is a technology based on digital model files, using adhesive materials such as powder metal or plastic, and constructing objects by printing layer by layer. Usually, digital technology material printers are used.

The industrial scale is accelerating year by year.

In recent years, the application of 3D printing market in China has been deepening, and it has been widely used in aerospace vehicles, ships, nuclear industry, molds and other fields. From 20 17 to 20 19, the scale of China's 3D printing industry increased year by year, slightly faster than the global growth rate, which made the proportion of China's 3D industry in the world increase continuously. According to the "20 19 global and China 3D printing industry data" released by ccid in March 2020, the scale of 3D printing industry in China was157.5 billion yuan in 20 19, an increase of 31.65438 compared with 20 18.

In 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic broke out all over the world, and there was a shortage of medical protection equipment in various countries. At this time, 3D printing played a saving role. According to the data of AliExpress, the largest B2C cross-border e-commerce platform in China, the sales of 3D printers in China were very hot during the epidemic. Since the epidemic, the sales volume of 3D printers on this platform has doubled compared with 20 19. It is estimated that the scale of 3D printing industry in China will reach 20.8 billion yuan in 2020.

3D printing equipment accounts for the largest proportion.

The 3D printing industry is mainly composed of 3D printing equipment, 3D printing materials and 3D printing services. In 20 19, the scale of 3D printing equipment industry in China was 7.086 billion yuan, accounting for the highest proportion, reaching 45%. The scale of 3D printing service industry is 4.567 billion yuan, accounting for 29%; The industrial scale of 3D printing materials is 4.094 billion yuan, accounting for 26%.

The Development Prospect of 3D Printing Industry in China

-the scale of the industry market continued to grow.

In recent years, China attaches great importance to the development of 3D printing market, and the state has continuously introduced policies to support industries. In February 2020, the National Standardization Administration Committee, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Education recently issued the Pilot Action Plan for Additive Manufacturing Standards (2020-2022), proposing that by 2022, a new standard system for additive manufacturing based on national conditions and international standards will be basically established. In addition, 2-3 dominant additive manufacturing technologies and standards in China will be formulated as international standards, and the conversion rate of international standards for additive manufacturing will reach 90%, and the international competitiveness of additive manufacturing standards will continue to improve. The action plan guides the 3D printing industry in China. It is estimated that the average annual growth rate of 3D printing industry will be above 25% in 2020, and the sales revenue of additive manufacturing industry will exceed 20 billion yuan. Combined with the policy guidance at the national level and the development trend of China's 3D printing industry in the past six years, it is estimated that the size of China's 3D printing market will exceed 63 billion yuan in 2025.
