1. Supply-side analysis of China's 3D printing material industry: the scale of the industry continues to expand

3D printingMaterial is an important material basis for the development of 3D printing technology. Material technology is the core of 3D printing technology, which directly restricts the development process of 3D printing. Currently, 3D printing materials mainly include engineering plastics, photosensitive resins, rubber materials,metalsMaterials and ceramic materials, etc. In the development of recent decades, new materials are an important driving force for 3D printing technology.

China's 3D printing material industry started in 1988. With the continuous deepening and expansion of downstream applications, the industry has also continued to usher in new developments.

From 2010 to 2017, China’s investment in 3D printing has increased year by year, from 32.5 billion yuan to 2666.95 billion yuan, an increase of more than 80 times. Since 2017, the amount of investment has gradually decreased, which is related to the extensive production methods of the industry, the small size, and the lack of mature business models. In 2019, China's 3D printing investment amounted to 1,879.5 billion yuan.

From 2016 to 2019, the scale of my country's 3D printing materials industry has continued to rise. In 2019, the scale of China's 3D printing materials industry reached 4.094 billion yuan, an increase of 26.2% over 2018, accounting for 26% of the 3D printing industry. It is estimated that by 2020, the scale of my country's 3D printing materials industry will reach 4.9 billion yuan.

2. Demand-side analysis of China's 3D printing material industry: wide range of applications

At present, my country's 3D printing material industry is located in the upstream of the entire 3D printing industry, the middle reaches of which are 3D printing, and the downstream is the application field of 3D printers. With the continuous expansion of downstream applications, the demand for different 3D printing equipment is also increasing, and the demand for different materials will also increase.

At present, judging from the downstream applications of the domestic 3D printing industry, 3D printing equipment is mainly used in consumer goods/electronics, medical, industrial equipment, automotive, aerospace and other industries. More extensive.

Due to the continuous development of the 3D printing industry, the application fields of the 3D industry in various industries are becoming wider and wider, and the downstream market feels the cost and precision brought by this technology Advantages, its demand is also gradually increasing, and this demand on the one hand starts to increase in terms of demand, on the other hand, it puts forward higher requirements in terms of quality and multi-function. The market will gradually eliminate low-quality, low-capacity products, and high-quality and environmentally friendly products will usher in greater development in the future.


3. Prospects of China's 3D printing materials: the degree of localization is getting higher and higher

At present, the production of 3D printing materials in my country is relatively backward, and most of the 3D printing materials still rely on foreign imports.

In addition, the prices of domestic 3D materials are relatively high. On the one hand, they are derived from foreign patents and monopolies, and domestic 3D printing materials basic theoretical research, raw material production technology, and material preparation equipment development Many other aspects need to be further explored. On the other hand, my country's 3D industry started late, the market is relatively small, the demand is small, the degree of autonomy is low, mass production cannot be realized, and the production cost is high.

With the upgrading and development of my country's high-end manufacturing industry, technological development and cost reduction, 3D printing technology will break away from isolated islands and can be used more in downstream fields. In the future, my country's 3D printing material industry will show a trend of increasing localization. The primary change that will follow will inevitably be the development of materials companies to a higher level of technology content and higher product added value.

my country’s "Thirteenth Five-Year" Special Plan for Scientific and Technological Innovation in the Material Field proposes that by 2020, more than 80% of the materials must be localized, and the 3D printing materials market will face a huge Expansion capacity. According to the continuous development of my country's 3D industry demand and the proportion of 3D materials in the 3D industry, the Prospective Industry Research Institute estimates that the output value of my country's 3D printing materials will maintain an average compound growth rate of more than 20% from 2020 to 2025. By 2025, the output value The scale will reach around 12.2 billion yuan.
