根据市场情报专家上下文latest industry report, the recent return of in-person trade events has led to a renewed interest in 3D printing which has carried through into the order books of 3D printer manufacturers.
The report states that shipments of industrial 3D printers priced over $100,000 were up 39 percent throughout the first three quarters of 2021, although remained 6 percent down on pre-Covid levels. However, the firm says that while shipments of new high-end printers grew over Q3 2021, in many cases demand outstripped supply due to the rise of the omicron variant and various supply chain woes, leaving 3D printer shipments in H2 2021 limited.
尽管如此，因此尽管如此，尽管如此，该市场现在“有望实现强劲的增长”，因为它进入了2022年，在2021年的前三个季度中，对靶向消费者的打印机的需求仍高于流行前水平。
加速工业3D打印机订单
上下文的最新数字呼应了整个2021年之前季度报告的趋势，发现工业3D打印机的运输继续反弹经过2020年的共同袭击。在2021年，上下文观察到了工业和“设计”打印机的运输 - 在此定义为售价超过20,000美元 - 在全球范围内强烈反弹，而recovery of Western 3D printing markets继续在今年年底之前收起步伐。
Despite this, the report says that the number of new high-end printers sold during 2021 still lagged behind pre-Covid levels, with industrial printers down six percent compared to Q1-Q3 2019. According to CONTEXT’s report, the strongest demand within the industrial 3D printer sector during 2021 was seen from printers focused on production or mass customization. In fact, polymer vat polymerization printers were found to be 22 percent up on 2019 levels, while demand for metal binder jetting models soared 104 percent.
特别是，上下文确定的树脂增值税3D打印机仍然是全球牙科行业的大量需求，而清晰的牙科对准器的“不断加速”的生产是高端3D打印机的一种方式，用于大众定制应用程序。一个关键例子是Prodways’recently announced contract to3D打印到每年最多一百万个牙科对准器作为“主要工业项目”的一部分。
报告称，在整个2021年后期，工业3D打印机的需求持续增长，但Omicron和随后在3D打印机零件上提出的供应链挑战的兴起意味着，对于许多供应商而言，需求超过供应。这样说，该报告指出，全球供应链的关注也引起了对3D印刷的新兴趣，这与面对面事件的回归相吻合，例如RAPID+TCTin the US in September and Germany’sFormnext 2021十一月。
根据上下文，这种激动人心的兴趣已转化为工业3D打印机供应商的订单，使该行业“浮力”，并在2022年准备增长。
个人和专业成长
上下文的最新数据显示,“自称ional’ 3D printer price class – those selling for between $2,500-$20,000, was least impacted by the pandemic, with its relatively high 2020 baseline making its 14 percent year-on-year growth in the first three quarters of 2021 look less impressive than the recovery growth seen in other price categories. The sector’s growth appears consistently strong, though, as the report says shipments were up not only on 2020’s figures but also came in 13 percent higher than the same period pre-Covid.
该报告将该行业最近的增长归因于新产品线，并加快了台式SLS聚合物机器的速度，例如Fuse 13D printer fromFormlabs。
Looking at the ‘personal’ and ‘hobby’ price class of printers, those selling for less than $2,500 according to CONTEXT’s classification, and the report identified a continuation of the trend of fully assembled personal 3D printers giving way to lower-priced kits, despite demand for both skyrocketing at the height of the Covid-19 lockdowns in 2020. The report states that while demand at the lower end of the market waned and settle into a “new normal” during 2021, shipments remained above 2019 levels.
根据上下文，其第四季度数字将是该行业最有说服力的，目前的预测表明，每年的个人打印机的运输可能会在2020年下降多达10％。在2019年的水平上仍增加了三分之一以上，而Kit和Hobby打印机的运输量至少同比增长36％。该报告显示，鉴于2020年的销售几乎是2019年的两倍，这些数字未达到许多供应商的期望。
在其报告中，Context继续将基于树脂的LCD打印机确定为当前业余爱好市场中的“最热门”项目，其中许多售价不到250美元。
展望2022年及以后
根据环境全球分析副总裁克里斯·康纳利（Chris Connery）的说法，关键2022 3D printing trendshe expects to see this year include the proliferation of high-temperature, material extrusion thermoplastic printers, composites, binder jetting for metal, and company growth by way of consolidation. CONTEXT also predicts supply chain mitigation and the role of digital manufacturing alongside 3D printing to be central themes going forwards.
该公司预测，当前记录的积压似乎将在2021年数字上推动2022年的总收入增长23％。在接下来的五年中，上下文期望那些具有质量生产能力的技术，例如粘合剂喷射，聚合物增值税聚合物和聚合物PBF，其单位量的复合年增长率为30％或更多。
跨分析的上下文数字
Market analyses aren’t always able to capture the full complexities of their target sectors, however in this case CONTEXT’s report seems to echo the recent sentiments of industrial 3D printer manufacturers in particular.
例如，该报告关于工业打印机销售继续反弹的建议得到了中国PBF 3D打印机制造商的支持Farsoon技术achieving its有史以来每月最高的营业额在2021年11月，需求增加后看到了在全球安装500 3D打印机, while fellow market leaderEOSannounced the交付和安装其第1000台3D打印机12月在北美。
Q3的湍流也被这样的人承认桌面金属， 哪个降低了其全年财务指导在未能满足该期间的收入期望之后。
在其他地方，空间和能源领域客户的“需求急剧增加”是由VELO3D，公司将其归因于278％的收入增长在第3季度至2020年第3季度之间，其机器销售主要增加。
