According to the report, the global orthopedic 3D printing devices market generated $2 billion in 2022, and is anticipated to generate $5.3 billion by 2032, witnessing a CAGR of 11.2% from 2023 to 2032.

Prime determinants of growth
In the last few years, there has been a steady increase in the development of healthcare infrastructure across the world. This has led to a growth in demand for orthopedic 3D printing devices which is predicted to be one of the important factors driving the growth of the global orthopedic 3D printing devices market in the forecast timeframe. However, the high initial cost of orthopedic 3D printing devices may hamper the orthopedic 3D printing devices market growth in the coming period. On the contrary, growing investments in the research and development of 3D printing devices is expected to offer growth opportunities for expansion of the orthopedic 3D printing devices market in the 2023-2032 forecast period.

Covid-19 scenario

• The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the growth of the global orthopedic 3D printing devices market. The travel restrictions and lockdowns led to disruptions in production cycles of various companies manufacturing orthopedic 3D printing devices. As a result, there was a decline in the growth rate of the market.
• Also, the demand for orthopedic 3D printing devices reduced during the pandemic period as elective surgeries, including orthopedic procedures, were postponed or canceled due to fear of infection.
• The orthopedic 3D printing devices market is, however, projected to show steady growth in the future due to the development of global healthcare infrastructure.

Orthopedic 3D printing devices market segment by type: Plastics sub-segment projected to gather a huge revenue during the forecast period
The plastics sub-segment accounted for the highest orthopedic 3D printing devices market share in 2022 and is expected to garner large revenue during the forecast period. Plastics play an important role in the medical device industry due to their unique properties such as incompatibility, low cost, and ready availability. These advantages of plastics is predicted to boost the sub-segment’s growth by 2032.

Orthopedic 3D printing devices market segment by application: Orthopedic implants sub-segment projected to be one of the most profitable by 2032
The orthopedic implants sub-segment accounted for the highest orthopedic 3D printing devices market share in 2022 and is expected to grow at a stunning CAGR of 11.9% during the forecast period. Rise in the number of patients seeking orthopedic implant surgery has led to an increase in demand for orthopedic 3D printing devices. This growth in demand is predicted to boost the sub-segment’s growth by 2032.

Orthopedic 3D printing devices market segment by region: North America market to be one of the fastest growing by 2032
The North America region accounted for the highest share in the global orthopedic 3D printing devices market in 2022 and is expected to continue on this growth trajectory during the forecast period. The increasing prevalence of orthopedic diseases such as osteoporosis and other bone related diseases and the increasing risk of fractures due to an aging population are expected to be the main growth drivers of the market in North America region by 2032.
