3D Construction Printer Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Component(Type, Services), By Application (Commercial, Residential, Industrial), By Construction Type (Buildings, Bridges, Domes, Abutments, Beams) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The construction industry is one of the significant sources of global employment, as the industry is very labor-intensive. With the minimum technological innovations, the construction industry is experiencing low productivity since past decade. The invention of the 3D construction printer is promising for automating the construction processes. The technology is popularizing each day, owing to its potential to save construction time, reduce material waste, reduce labor work, and risky human operations.

The labor shortage problem is one of the significant challenges the construction industry was facing. 3D construction printer has solved the issue by efficiently automating the construction processes. The technology reduces the considerable number of laborers, resulting in a significant reduction in the construction cost. Thus, the 3D construction printers are gaining much attention across the construction industry in the developed countries. The 3D construction printing technique's capability to enable on-site, large-scale manufacturing of concrete structures, as per the demands of modern structural and architectural design is augmenting the need for the 3D construction printers. Experts are increasingly dedicating their professional efforts to 3D construction technology and contributing to translating an idea into a global trend.

The construction industry is among the major sectors that bond significant employment worldwide and contributes to nations' economic development. Thus, the significant investments and spendings can be made for the development of the construction industry. As per the 'Sustainability - Report' published by the MDPI in October 2020, total spending in the construction industry was USD 11.4 trillion in 2018. It is probable to raise upto USD 14 trillion by 2025. Similarly, in August 2020, Austin-based Icon Technology, Inc. has raised USD 35 million through a series A funding round led by Moderne Ventures. This funding promises its total investments to USD 44 million. This capital funding will contribute to 3D printing technology development and build and design innovative 3D printed homes. Thus, the significant investments and fundings made by the companies and government entities, supports the global 3D construction printer market growth.
