3D Printed Wearable Industry: Anticipated Growth with a CAGR of 9.20% by 2033 | Says FMI

The 3D printed wearable market is projected to generate US$ 4251.70 million in 2023, with revenue expected to soar to US$ 10,246.60 million by 2033. Throughout the forecast period, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.20% is anticipated for the 3D printed wearable market.

The popularity of wearables crafted through 3D printing is steadily rising, driven by the appeal of customized and personalized products. With technology progressing rapidly, 3D printers are becoming more affordable and accessible to a broader audience, fueling the adoption of 3D printed wearables. Moreover, the continuous advancements in research and development are opening doors for the creation of wearables tailored for new applications. This surge in innovation is expanding the possibilities of 3D printed wearables, promising a future where technology seamlessly integrates with personal style and functionality.

The manufacturers have understood the potential and demand of the consumers for 3D printed wearables items that include footwear, clothes, jewelry as well as sports accessories. The report states that the 3D printed footwear will continue to be the leading category, worth a quarter of the market share.

Mass customization based on 3D printing is very likely to be the future of the bespoke fashion, and it saves a lot of resources using optimal utilities.

3D printing holds significant potential in enhancing product developments in the wearables industry, enabling manufacturers to create prototypes and establish a proof of concept. Although high initial cost of 3D printers does remain a key concern, the low cost of operations and the convenience element are expected to offer long-term benefits for manufacturers.

According to the study, the footwear industry has taken the lead in the adoption of 3D printing technology, with product offerings that range from shoes to insoles with personalized design. This trend of custom-made solutions in the footwear industry is likely to encourage companies to improve their processes and realize measurable returns on their investment.

The role of 3D printing in revolutionizing the manufacturing process as a whole while enabling mass production of customized products, is expected to complement future growth of the 3D printed wearables market.

Stakeholders Vying for Untapped Opportunities in the Medical Sector

This study opines that the scope of 3D printing technology is extensive in the field of medical wearables, and has created opportunities hitherto unforeseen in surgical and medical fields. Research in this sector has been inclined towards making living tattoos that act as sensors, to making viable organs that could revolutionize the transplantation process and printing bacteria for potential applications in the medical field.

The convenience of providing the accessibility of information to consumers, and tracking and monitoring their healthcare needs, is one of the leading aspects governing the attraction toward and adoption of medical wearables. This has led to a better understanding of conditions, for greater control over the end result. Even as the functionality of wearables increases, growing security risk is expected to be a major concern holding back the rate of progress in the field.

The study finds that 3D printed wearable manufacturers will benefit from of new solutions that feature mixed material printing. Key players in the market are partnering with engineers, mathematicians and architects for creating high-end 3D printed wearables for the future, which would feature added functionalities and improved accessibility to a wider array of data.

As more wearable manufacturers turn to 3D printing for accelerated production and waste reduction, gains in the market are expected to surge at a significant pace in the foreseeable future.

According to the study, Europe and North America remain lucrative markets for 3D printed wearables, collectively accounting for ~70% shares. This can be attributed to a notable rise in the number of wearable startups, along with focus of key players on shifting their portfolio from fundamental wearables to smarter products with higher degrees of functionality.

The study offers a long-term forecast for the 3D printed wearables market for the period between 2021 and 2029. The 3D printed wearable market is projected to record a ~9% CAGR through 2029.
