Global 3D Printing Gases Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report, By Type (Nitrogen, Argon, and Gas Mixtures), By Technology (Stereolithography, Laser Sintering, Poly-Jet, Binder-Jetting Technology, Electron Beam Melting Technology, and Fused Disposition Modeling), By End-Use Industry (Manufacturing & Design, Healthcare, Consumer Products, Automotive, Aerospace & Defense, and Education & Research), Forecast Period (2022-2028) The global 3D printing gases market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 12.0% during the forecast period. 3D printing technology is a computer-aided design (CAD) for creating three-dimensional objects with the support of a layering approach. High-end metal additive manufacturing requires inert gas composition to create products that meet the required material properties. However, inert gas such as nitrogen and argon also plays a key role in metal powder production, storage and post-processing. Metal additive manufacturing requires a safe environment to avoid impurities in the materials. Inert gases such as argon and nitrogen create an inert environment, which allows parts to be built which meet the exacting standards required for metal parts used in the aerospace and automotive industries. In the industrial domain, 3D printing primarily enhances the product manufacturing process and addresses the challenges associated with complex designs during new product development. The products manufactured by 3D printing require less time and are cost-effective. Further, the advancement in technology and new research are driving the demand for 3D printing gases. For instance, in September 2021, Scientists from Trinity and AMBER, the SFI Research Centre for Advanced Materials and Bio Engineering Research, discovered a way to fabricate tiny color-changing gas sensors using new materials and a high-resolution form of 3D printing. There is wide potential for these sensors to be used in connected, low-cost devices for homes, or integrated into wearable devices used to monitor human health. In January 2019, GEFERTEC, the German developer and provider of 3DMP metal 3D printers and technology, partnered with Linde Group, a Munich-based chemical company, to investigate the process of gas and oxygen within metal additive manufacturing. Thus, the growing demand for 3D printing in end-use industries and innovation and technological advancements are some key factors driving the global 3D printing gases market. The global 3D printing gases market is segmented based on the type, technology, and end-use industry. Based on the type, the market is segmented into nitrogen, argon, and gas mixtures. Based on the technology, the market is segmented into stereolithography, laser sintering, poly-jet, binder-jetting technology, electron beam melting technology and fused disposition modelling. Based on the end-use industry, the market is segmented into manufacturing & design, healthcare, consumer products, automotive, aerospace & defense, and education & research. Among technology, stereolithography is most widely used and holds a significant share in 3D printing gases. Stereolithography is an additive manufacturing technology which uses a vat of liquid UV-curable photopolymer resin and a UV laser to build parts one layer at a time. Using the photopolymerization process, light causes chains of molecules to link together, forming polymers that make up the body of a three-dimensional solid. Stereolithography (SL) 3D printing technology finds applications for industrial-scale manufacturing. The technology supports speeding the process and saves time for the manufacturers. Stereolithography offers users the ability to produce parts for a range of different applications requiring different properties, all from one technology. All these factors drive the growth of stereolithography technology for 3D printing gases. Geographically, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America holds the largest share of the global 3D printing market and is anticipated to have high growth for the forecast period. Growing implementation of advanced technology along with high demand for 3D printing in end-use industries are key reasons for the rapid expansion of the 3G printing gases market in the region. For instance, on April 11, 2022, the US military turned to additive manufacturing. The US army has partnered with construction company ICON. The company intends to use the Vulcan printer to build the largest 3D-printed buildings in the Western Hemisphere. The buildings will also be the first 3D printed structures to comply with the DoD’s Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) for additive concrete construction. The major companies serving the global 3D printing gases market include Linde plc, Air Products and Chemicals Inc., BASF SE, Air Liquide S.A., and Praxair Inc. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, collaborations, partnerships, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in April 2022, Air Products Inc. signed a Long-term Industrial Gases Supply Agreement with World-Leading Semiconductor Manufacturer in Asia. As per the agreement, Air Products San Fu Co. Ltd will t Invest $900 Million in Ultra-high Purity Industrial Gas Facilities Supplying Customer Advanced Fabs in Kaohsiung. In August 2020, Linde, a leading global industrial gases and engineering company, announced that its US subsidiary, Praxair Inc., will begin operating under the Linde name after the successful merger of Praxair Inc. and Linde AG. According to the company's combined product and service portfolios, the will offer customers more options to improve operational efficiency and plan for future growth.
