Global Consumer 3D Printing Market Analysis and Forecast (2013 - 2018): Hardware, Software and Service Level Opportunities Analysis

Consumer 3D printing is a niche sub-segment of the global 3D printing market. The term additive manufacturing or 3D printing refers to process of getting printed an object of any shape from a digital model. The process is performed through a digital technology i.e. CAD (Computer aided design). Additive manufacturing is one of the most widely accepted emerging technology and its services are being utilized by various industries like medical, automotive, consumer products, military, aerospace, academics, construction and others. 3D printers are generally used in industries as discussed previously, but entry level printers which can produce products of relatively smaller volumes are currently available for purchase by households, hobbyists, educational institutions as these printers come at a very low cost. Makerbot is considered as the pioneer of this market which was followed by other companies like Solidoodle, Ultimake etc. These companies take up and improve on the specifications from the open source models in the RepRap community. This report focuses on the household or consumer 3D printers market opportunity and growth prospects. The market has been segmented by geography as North America, Europe, Asia, and Rest of the World (RoW). Market size and forecast is provided for each of these regions. A detailed qualitative analysis of the factors responsible for driving and restraining growth of the consumer 3D printing market and future opportunities are provided in the report. Competitive landscape for each of the product types is highlighted and market players are profiled with attributes of company overview, financial overview, business strategies, product portfolio and recent developments. Market shares of the key players for 2012 are provided. The prominent players profiled in this report are 3Dsystems, Stratasys, Solidscape and others. The report contains the most detailed and in-depth segmentation of the Quantum dots market in SSL, solar cells and displays applications.
