In addition, the reduction in the cost of metal 3D printing equipment and the increase in the availability of this technology for small and medium-sized enterprises will also contribute to the growth of the market.

North America is expected to be the largest metal 3D printing market in the coming years due to the high level of industrial development and the presence of large manufacturers of 3D printing equipment. However, experts note that the market in the Asia-Pacific region will grow the fastest due to the rapid development of industry in countries such as China, Japan and South Korea.
