3D printing and rapid prototyping services in the United States continue to benefit from robust growth over the past five years, driven by rapid technological development and new applications for 3D printing technology. While the falling price of 3D printing machines encouraged many companies to purchase their own machines and bypass outsourced services, demand has flourished. Additionally, as development and design services could be done remotely, the industry was one of the few that could continue operations unabated during the height of the pandemic in 2020, resulting in 7.0% revenue growth in that year. Over the past five years, operator revenue has climbed at a CAGR of 17.2% to an estimated $4.3 billion, including an estimated 19.8% growth in 2024 alone.
