The 3D printing market is growing rapidly, and multiple policies in China encourage development

The 3D printing ecosystem, as a representative of additive manufacturing, has experienced rapid development worldwide in recent years. Its unique way of building three-dimensional entities by stacking materials layer by layer not only subverts traditional manufacturing methods, but also brings revolutionary changes to multiple industries. According to authoritative institutions, the global 3D printing market is expected to continue to grow rapidly in the coming years, with a compound annual growth rate of over 20%. On the other hand, with the concentrated breakthroughs of domestic manufacturers in various links of the industry chain, especially the continuous efforts of integrated service providers represented by AORITA3D, "localization" has become the main tone of the 3D printing industry.

The global 3D printing market has entered a period of rapid growth.

According to the report "2023 Additive Manufacturing Parts Production: Global Market Data and Forecast" released by Additive Manufacturing Research Company (AMR, formerly known as SmarTech Analysis), it is expected that by 2032, the global 3D printing industry will rapidly expand from $18.8 billion (approximately RMB 134.6 billion) in 2023 to $119 billion (approximately RMB 851.8 billion). Among them, the application of release film 3D printing is significantly growing rapidly, with a greater emphasis on practical applications rather than just prototype design or tool production.

Among them, ACF (Aorita composite film) release film printing has a relatively better cost-effectiveness, with various advantages such as high transmittance, high precision, high efficiency, close to zero film pulling force, long service life, and relief of horizontal lines. At the same time, its cost is relatively low compared to HDF release film, and it is compatible with various machines and special resins in the market. It is currently the mainstream solution for photopolymerization printing.

National key encouragement for development, 3D printing has great potential.

Since 2015, China has been promoting and regulating the 3D printing industry through policies in terms of industrial system, technological innovation, and industry standards.

In June 2021, the 3D printing industry standard has been included in the key area of national enterprise standard "leader". In the Opinion on Accelerating the Construction of a Waste Recycling System issued by the State Council, it is mentioned to promote the remanufacturing of waste equipment and promote the application of common key technologies in remanufacturing, including 3D printing. The Implementation Plan for Carbon Peaking in the Industrial Sector also emphasizes the acceleration of key remanufacturing technology innovation and industrial application, such as additive manufacturing.

In the "Implementation Opinions on Improving Reliability in Manufacturing Industry" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it is explicitly proposed to improve the reliability level of industrial mother machines such as additive manufacturing, and a list of typical application scenarios for additive manufacturing is publicly announced.   

The Notice on the Action Plan for Cultivating Strategic Emerging Industry Clusters in Laser and Additive Manufacturing in Guangdong Province (2023-2025) jointly issued by the Department of Science and Technology of Guangdong Province and multiple departments aims to promote the strategic development of the laser and additive manufacturing industry.

In 2023, there were a total of 31 financing events in the 3D printing industry, with a total financing amount of approximately 6.011 billion yuan, indicating the favor of the capital market for the 3D printing industry.

Recently, the Industry Department of the National Development and Reform Commission revised and released the "Guiding Catalogue for Industrial Structure Adjustment (2024 Edition)", which will be implemented from February 1, 2024. All directions related to 3D printing (additive manufacturing) will be included in the encouraged category.

According to the "Development Status and Trends of China's Additive Manufacturing Industry", it is expected that the size of China's 3D printing market will increase from 40 billion to 100 billion from 2023 to 2027.

As a 3D printing ecosystem integration service provider and a national high-tech enterprise, AORITA3D deeply understands the crucial role of the production and application of release films, 3D printers, and consumables in the development of the entire industry. Especially for release films, they can prevent material adhesion, improve printing accuracy and efficiency, and their performance and quality are directly related to the quality and performance of 3D printed products. AORITA3D company will continue to maintain a rapid growth in market share with strong support from national policies and broad market prospects. At the same time, we will actively promote technological innovation and application in the 3D printing industry, contributing to the future development of the 3D printing ecosystem.
