Market Definition
South Korea Additive Manufacturing (AM) Market was valued at USD 0.25 billion in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 1.51 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 25.1% from 2023 to 2030. Additive manufacturing, commonly referred to as 3D printing, is a manufacturing technology that involves the layer-by-layer construction of objects using various materials. A computer controls this process by utilizing data from CAD software or 3D object scanners to direct the machines in shaping the materials. To initiate the additive manufacturing process, a design is essential, which can be created through CAD software or by scanning an existing object. Subsequently, the software converts the design into a comprehensive blueprint, providing precise instructions to the 3D printer. Once the blueprint is transmitted, the actual production of the object commences. The duration required to complete the additive manufacturing process varies based on the size of the object, with smaller items typically being manufactured more efficiently and within a shorter timeframe.
Government Support and Investment Driving Additive Manufacturing Growth in South Korea
The South Korean government has been actively supporting additive manufacturing initiatives through policies, funding, and research grants. The government recognizes the potential of this technology in various industries and has implemented measures to promote its adoption and development. For instance, in 2021, the Korean government invested about USD 86 million in the 3D printing industry.
Enhanced Manufacturing Competitiveness through Additive Manufacturing in South Korea
South Korea boasts a thriving manufacturing sector, especially in industries like automotive, electronics, and aerospace. Additive manufacturing has emerged as a catalyst for enhancing manufacturing competitiveness in these sectors.
