The additive manufacturing with metal powders market is expected to emerge as a lucrative investment avenue over the coming years as additive manufacturing becomes the go-to solution to produce complex components at more affordable costs with more sophistication. Today, additive manufacturing (AM) has already replaced convention methods of component creation across a plethora of industries.

Already, the variety of materials that have been made available for metal-based AM systems are expanding continuously. Common materials such as stainless steels, aluminum, cobalt-chrome, nickel, and titanium alloys, are already in use throughout the field, with several machine manufacturers offering materials of their own.

This diverse variety of materials affords user a better possibility of selecting the correct material that can achieve the specifications required by the end-product. While not all the available materials can effectively be used in AM, in many cases, with the proper equipment, a metal powder can be qualified for a specific purpose.

The overall additive manufacturing with metal powders market is divided into segments according to manufacturing technique, material, application, and regional landscape.

The manufacturing technique segment is divided into direct metal laser sintering, powder bed, electron beam melting, laser engineering net shapes, selective laser melting, direct metal deposition, blown powder, and others. Among these, the other segment is forecast to register significant growth in coming years. The segment, in fact, currently holds an overall 3.2% market share.

Based on material, the market is divided into titanium, copper, cobalt, aluminum, nickel, other steel, stainless steel, tungsten, silicon carbide, tungsten carbide, zirconium, aluminum oxide, molybdenum, zirconium dioxide, aluminum nitride, and magnesium.
