Filament segment is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Metals in the filament form are preferred due to the convenience they offer while operating. The metal filament is made-up of metal powder mixed with some polymer such as polylactic acid (PLA) or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) in the form of wire/filament. Polymers are used as binding agents, which binds metal powder and polymer to remain in a filament shape. The filament helps in the reduction of waste of materials as compared to powder form. The filament form is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period as compared to the powder segment, owing to the benefits it offers.

Directed energy deposition segment accounts for the second-largest market share in the global 3D printing metal market

Directed energy deposition (DED) uses metals in the form of powder or filament. DED machine consists of a nozzle mounted on a multi-axis arm, which deposits melted material over a specified surface, where it solidifies and creates a 3D object. The growth of this technology can be attributed to its more rapid printing cycle and less use of supports to manufacture larger parts. Thus, directed energy deposition is used in prototyping and manufacturing large products in defense industries.

Aluminium segment accounts for the second-largest market share in the global 3D printing metal market

Aluminum is one of the lightweight, strong, and electrically and thermally conductive materials, which makes it appropriate for outdoor applications such as door handle, window frames, and automotive door frames. It is also cost-effective and thus is used in the manufacturing of mechanical parts, tools and fixtures, bike and drone accessories, and structural components. Aluminum is used to manufacture engine parts and components in the automotive industry to reduce the overall weight of vehicles. The growth of the aluminum segment can be attributed to its physical and mechanical properties and its easy availability.

Automotive industry is projected to be the second-largest end-use industry of the 3D printing metals market during the forecast period

The automotive industry is a lucrative market for 3D printing metals, which are used in the manufacturing of auto parts and components. 3D printing materials are used in making various components in the automotive industry, such as engine parts, gears, chassis, battery cases, and doors frames. Major car manufacturers such as Tesla, Inc. (US) and BMW Group (Germany) are highly inclined towards using 3D printing metals to manufacture automotive components. The automotive industry is witnessing a shift toward 3D-printed components owing to their benefits, such as weight reduction and improved mileage in vehicles.
