The global selective laser sintering (SLS) equipment market revenue is anticipated to reach USD 4.2 billion by 2033, up from USD 765 million in 2023. Future Market Insight estimated a remarkable CAGR of 18.6% for the market between 2023 and 2033.
SSLS 3D printing technology is capable of producing complex and customized products with unparalleled accuracy and precision. The demand for customized and complex parts is increasing across various industries. More effective and affordable SLS equipment has been developed as a result of the ongoing developments in additive manufacturing. SLS equipment is also deployed to produce medical implants and prosthetics. These factors are driving the SLS equipment market growth.
SLS technology is a sustainable and eco-friendly manufacturing process. Given the increasing focus on sustainability in various industries, this technology is gaining popularity. SLS equipment is also utilized for the production of functional parts, rather than just prototyping. Metal-based SLS printing is gaining popularity for high-performance applications. This type of SLS equipment has the ability to produce parts with high strength and durability.
The high initial investment required for setting up SLS equipment could be a barrier for small and medium-sized enterprises. The limited availability of raw materials for SLS printing could result in supply chain disruptions. Moreover, there is a shortage of skilled workforce with expertise in SLS equipment. These factors could affect the adoption of SLS 3D printers.
The market is projected to witness several growth prospects. The development of new and innovative SLS materials is likely to expand the SLS equipment applications in various industries. The integration of SLS technology with Industry 4.0 technologies is also expected to improve production efficiency and enable smart manufacturing. Furthermore, the education and research sectors are anticipated to witness a growing demand for SLS equipment for research and development.
