The Business Research Company’s report on the 4D Printing Market provides insights into the global market size, growth rate, regional distribution, competitive landscape, key segments, emerging trends, and strategic opportunities.
What are the primary drivers fueling the growth of the 4d printing market in recent years?
The growing demand in the aerospace and defense industries is expected to propel the growth of the 4D printing market going forward. The aerospace and defense industries refer to sectors involved in the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of aircraft, spacecraft, defense systems, and military technologies for commercial, governmental, and security applications. The growth of 4D printing in the aerospace and defense industries is attributed to the increasing demand for self-adaptive materials, lightweight structures, and cost-efficient manufacturing processes that enhance performance, durability, and operational efficiency. 4D printing helps aerospace and defense by enabling self-assembling, adaptive, and shape-morphing materials, enhancing durability, reducing weight, and improving efficiency in extreme conditions. For instance, in November 2023, according to the International Trade Administration, a US-based government agency, in 2022, the UK aerospace industry generated a turnover of approximately $34.5 billion, with 70% of its production exported. The defense sector had a turnover of around $29 billion, including $15 billion in exports. The space industry achieved a turnover of roughly $22 billion, with $9.5 billion in exports. Moreover, in January 2023, according to Airbus SE, a Netherlands-based aerospace corporation, the company delivered 661 commercial aircraft to 84 customers in 2022, representing an increase of 8% from the 611 units sold in 2021. Therefore, the growing demand in the aerospace and defense industries is driving the growth of the 4D printing market.
