Construction 3D Printing Market to reach $765 Million by 2030; shortage of labor, increased efficiency, reduced waste, design flexibility and remote construction potential are driving the market

The Construction 3D printing Market size is estimated to reach $765 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 16.0% during the forecast period 2024-2030, according to a recent report published by IndustryARC, titled, “Construction 3D Printing Market - By Material Type (Concrete, Plastics, Metal, Ceramics, and Others.), By Printing Method (Extrusion, Powder Bonding, and Others),  By Construction Type (Full Building and Modular Construction), By End Use (Residential, Commercial and Others), and By Geography - Opportunity Analysis & Industry Forecast, 2024-2030”.

The construction 3D printing market is experiencing substantial growth due to advancements in additive manufacturing techniques. Benefits such as improved construction efficiency, minimized material waste, complex design realization, and remote construction feasibility are driving market expansion. Government support and R&D investments are further accelerating the integration of this technology into the construction industry.

Asia-Pacific (APAC) dominated the Construction 3D Printing market with a market share of 40% in 2023. The region is adopting 3D printing in construction due to the need for commercial and residential projects that can be completed quickly. Additionally, due to the growing urbanization, there is also a need for affordable housing. 

One of the most compelling advantages of 3D printing in construction is its unparalleled ability to bring complex designs to life. 3D printing empowers architects and designers to push the boundaries of creativity, experimenting with unconventional shapes, curves, and organic forms that defy traditional construction norms. By leveraging advanced design software and 3D printing techniques, engineers can create lightweight yet incredibly strong structures. Additionally, it enables the production of tailored solutions for specific needs and environments. Whether it's a bespoke bridge, a unique housing unit, or a specialized infrastructure component, 3D printing can deliver customized results with precision.

One of the most significant environmental benefits of 3D printing in construction is its ability to minimize material waste. 3D printing is an additive process that precisely deposits material layer by layer, significantly reducing waste. 3D printing minimizes material waste by precisely depositing material layer by layer, conserving natural resources and reducing the carbon emissions associated with material extraction and transportation. This precise approach also leads to lower material costs, making 3D printing a more cost-effective solution for construction projects. Additionally, 3D printing aligns with the growing global focus on sustainability and circular economy principles. Therefore, the adoption of decreased material waste, the construction sector can create a more sustainable future, reducing its influence on the environment and protecting precious resources for future generations. 

• In August 2024, Serendix significantly expanded its 3D printing capabilities by acquiring three new construction 3D printers. This brings their total to eight machines, with plans to add four more in 2024.

• In May 2023, Obayashi Corporation reported the completion of its 3D printed demonstration building, named 3dpod. 3dpod is a distinct type of structure that has been approved by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism under the Building Standards Act, in Japan.
