This ability to reshape has opened new avenues for manufacturers and researchers focusing on this technology and created lucrative opportunities in areas such as building construction, furniture, and robotics. In addition to this, increasing demand for upgraded and modernized 3D printing applications to make more reliable products is also fueling the growth of the 4D printing market. Additionally, factors such as technological advancements in the field of scanning, an increasing number of research and development investments, and increasing demand for advanced technologies from hardware manufacturers and software developers are also expected to drive the 4D printing market’s growth.

Furthermore, 4D printing technology allows the use of limited materials for multiple purposes, which facilitates reducing the costs associated with raw materials and getting more work done in less quantity. These features provide great opportunities for the key players to expand their businesses as intense competition in the industry has generated the need to reduce the costs associated with manufacturing and processing. Moreover, widespread applications of the 4D printing technique across the bio-medical, aerospace, and defense industries are also driving the growth of this market. However, the impact of various drawbacks associated with 4D printing on the commercialization of the products, high development costs, and concerns associated with intellectual property rights are some factors that are projected to hamper the growth of the 4D printing market during the forecast period.

Market Synopsis

The programmable carbon fiber material segment is expected to witness the highest growth in the 4D printing market.

Based on the materials, the 4D printing market is categorized into programmable carbon fiber, programmable biomaterials, programmable textiles, and programmable wood. The programmable carbon fiber materials segment is projected to witness high growth during the forecast period based on the advantages associated with this material. The programmable carbon fiber material is lightweight, super-strong, and stiff, which makes it useful for numerous industrial applications. They help minimize failure-prone mechanisms and decrease the total weight of the product. Despite its advantages, programmable carbon fiber’s high cost and slow production time have affected its adoption in some industries. Furthermore, programmable textiles, programmable wood, and programmable biomaterials are also projected to showcase significant growth during the forecast period.

North America to dominate the 3D printing market.

North America dominates the 4D printing market by holding the largest market share of the total revenue generated worldwide. Owing to high investments in research and development in the North American region, 4D printing has emerged as a prominent technology in the past few years.

In this region, the US is the major contributor, as it is considered to be the innovator and pioneer in the adoption of 4D printing technology for additive manufacturing. Furthermore, increasing advances in the manufacturing sector and growing demand for innovative ways of development and production are primarily contributing to the growth of the 4D printing technology market in this region. Based on North America’s hold on advanced technology and high rate of adoption, this regional segment is expected to maintain its dominant position during the forecast period.

However, Asia-Pacific is expected to follow North America by witnessing rapid growth in the global 4D printing market. Factors such as technological advancements and the increasing focus on innovating new ways of manufacturing innovative products are expected to fuel the 4D printing market’s growth in the Asia Pacific. This region offers lucrative growth opportunities for the key players operating in the local and international markets and enables them to expand their businesses in the high-growth sector. However, the high investment made initially, and lack of awareness are some factors that are likely to hinder market growth in Asia-Pacific during the forecast period.

Some of the prominent players operating in the 4D printing market include the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Autodesk Inc., Stratasys Ltd., ARC Center of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES), 3D Systems Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Corporation, Materialise NV, Exone Corporation, and Organovo Holdings Inc., among others.
