Market Scope

The global 4D printing market is expected to grow to USD 162 million by 2022 at 39% CAGR over the forecast period. Innovation in 3D printers and the wide scope of applications are major drivers of the market. The prime need for lowering manufacturing and processing costs can influence the market demand to a great extent. New business models fashioned to lower time-to-market and high business efficiency can spur the market growth.

Focus on sustainability and use of 4D printed objects for lowering the number of resources can bolster the scope for the market. Advanced technologies in material science and capacity for changing material shape, appearance, and properties can drive the demand for 4D printing. Innovation in fields of aerospace & defense, healthcare, and automotive can augur favorably for the market.

Segmentation

By application, it is segmented into utility, aerospace and defense, construction, healthcare, automotive, clothing, and others. The aerospace and defense application is deemed to dominate the global 4D printing market owing to space agencies adopting the technology for manufacturing various components. On the other hand, the healthcare application has potential for generating revenue for the market owing to the implementation of self-transforming components for treating abnormalities or malformations within the body.

Regional Analysis

North America can dominate the 4D printing market owing to the technological advancements in 3D printing and due to the high adoption of 3D printing on a large scale. The utilization of programmable textiles in furniture design and interest in DIY projects can drive the market growth in the region. Applications in the defense sector such as the ability to blend into environments and protection against toxic gas can bode well for the market. 

The European region is expected to have the second biggest market share in the 4D printing market. Scope in healthcare and aerospace with components being able to adapt to the environment due to certain triggers can bode well for the regional market demand.

As 4D printing is a niche technology, Asia Pacific would have considerable opportunities for adoption of 4D printing technology by the end of forecast period. But high technology costs can impede market growth.
