The 3D printing metals market is estimated at USD 1.19 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 3.62 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 25.0% from 2025 to 2030. The filament segment held the second-largest market share as it is cost-effective, easy to use, and compatible with most commonly found fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers. Metal filaments, like BASF's Ultrafuse 316L, consist of metal powders mixed with a polymer binder, wherein users can create metal parts on standard desktop 3D printers and then debind and sinter them. This type is particularly favored among small to medium-sized manufacturers, educational institutes, and prototyping centers where the low-cost production of metal parts and easy access are important. Increasing interest in distributed manufacturing and material innovation is also driving filament adoption.

"The directed energy deposition segment is projected to be the second-fastest-growing technology during the forecast period."
Directed energy deposition (DED) is the second-fastest-growing technology in the 3D printing metals industry because of its unparalleled capabilities to make and fix big, intricate metal parts with high material efficiency. DED is different from other additive processes as it has the ability to utilize both wire feedstock and metal powder and is well-suited for aerospace, defense, and energy applications where part refurbishment and customization are essential. Its capacity to assemble parts directly into existing frameworks, in addition to integration with hybrid CNC systems for precise production, makes it more desirable. Increasing use of low-cost maintenance, quick prototyping, and metal frameworks at large scales is propelling its faster deployment.
"Automotive is projected to be the second-fastest-growing end-use industry during the forecast period."
The automotive segment is the second fastest-growing market for 3D printing metals due to the increasing demand for high-performance, lightweight components that improve vehicle efficiency and fuel performance. Metal additive manufacturing allows complex shapes and tailored parts that are impossible or challenging to produce using conventional technologies. Automakers apply 3D printing for quick prototyping, tooling, and even production parts in electric cars and high-performance vehicles. Because the automotive industry is moving toward more eco-friendly and adaptable manufacturing processes, 3D printing presents lower material waste, lead time reduction, and increased design freedom, fueling its swift uptake in automotive manufacturing.
"Europe is projected to register the second-highest growth rate in the 3D printing metals market during the forecast period."
Europe will register the second-highest growth in the 3D printing metals industry owing to its strong industrial foundation, high government backing, and high uptake across major industries like aerospace, automotive, and healthcare. Countries such as Germany, the UK, and France are at the forefront of innovation, with high spending on research and development, as well as a commitment to sustainable production practices. The efforts of the European Union in the form of funding initiatives and policies supporting Industry 4.0 have further increased the uptake of metal additive manufacturing technologies. Furthermore, Europe's focus on carbon emissions reduction and building supply chain resilience has encouraged industries to use 3D printing to manufacture lightweight, complex parts locally and cut down on dependence on conventional manufacturing. These factors collectively provide Europe with a strong position and anticipated growth in the global 3D printing metals industry.
