“The 3D printing industry comprises more than 100 global companies,” write BCC analysts.” The industry is highly concentrated, with top companies holding approximately 30% of the total market. Large companies have the advantage of economies of scale in purchasing, manufacturing, distribution and marketing. Smaller companies compete by offering specialized products and providing exceptional customer service to the localized market.”

The Success of Photopolymers

With the growing advancements in 3D printing technology, new photopolymer materials are used which mimic engineering photopolymers; this has been one of the most widely-used methods in 3D printing in recent times. Objects are created with incredible detail, and the layers are inseparable and less than hundreds of microns thick.
