The report also features a list of the top ten largest global players in the market. A review of each company includes 1) an estimate of the market share, 2) a listing of the products and/or services in the market, and 3) the features of these products and/or services in the market. The report has a chapter on Comparative Business Strategies for the largest four players. An example of the Comparative Business Strategies analysis would be -- How does Netflix's business strategy to expand its market share in the global online streaming compare to Amazon Prime's business strategy through its video products and services?
The ten market players in this report and a brief synopsis of their participation in the market are:
Stratasys, 3D Systems, Materialise, Arkema, Evonik, Formlabs, SABIC, Henkel, EOS, and Shenzhen Esun are among the ten major companies shaping the 3D printing plastics market, each bringing distinctive materials expertise, printer compatibility, and industry focus. Stratasys is renowned for its broad portfolio of engineering-grade thermoplastics and long-standing leadership in FDM and PolyJet technologies, supplying materials like ABS, ASA, PC, ULTEM (PEI), and specialty filaments for aerospace, automotive, and medical applications. 3D Systems complements hardware with an extensive materials lineup for stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), and multi-jet systems, targeting prototyping and production use-cases across healthcare, industrial, and consumer sectors. Materialise contributes not only materials but also software and production services that optimize material use and part quality for mass customization and small-series manufacturing in industries such as medical devices and tooling.
Arkema and Evonik stand out as global specialty-chemicals leaders developing high-performance powders, filaments, and resins formulated for powder bed fusion, fused filament fabrication, and photopolymer processes, with Arkema’s Rilsan PA11, Orgasol PA12, Kepstan PEKK, and Pebax TPE notable for chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. Evonik focuses on engineering polymers and additives that enhance printability and end-use properties for industrial additive manufacturing. Formlabs targets desktop and industrial resin markets with UV-curable formulations optimized for detail, surface finish, and mechanical performance in dental, medical, and prototyping workflows. SABIC supplies engineering thermoplastics and high-performance polymer solutions tailored for additive manufacturing needs in automotive, industrial, and consumer goods where flame retardancy, strength, and thermal properties matter.
Henkel, EOS, CRP Technology/CRP Group, and Shenzhen Esun broaden the market with specialty adhesives, powder systems, composite materials, and filaments that enable end-use part production and functional prototypes. Henkel offers adhesive and resin systems that integrate with AM workflows and post-processing, supporting industrialization of production parts. EOS provides powder-based systems and certified polymer materials for industrial laser sintering used heavily in aerospace and medical components. CRP supplies advanced composite and high-performance polymers for aerospace and motorsport applications, while Shenzhen Esun (eSun) is a major filament and material supplier from China, delivering a wide range of commodity and engineering filaments for desktop and industrial FDM printers. Collectively these ten companies drive material innovation, certification pathways, and supply-chain scaling that are accelerating the shift from prototyping to serial production across multiple industries.
