Thailand Additive Manufacturing (AM) Market was valued at USD 55.35 million in 2022, and is predicted to reach USD 374.0 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 26.9% from 2023 to 2030. Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a manufacturing technique that involves building objects layer by layer using different materials. The process is controlled by a computer, which uses data from CAD software or 3D object scanners to guide the machines in shaping the materials. To initiate the additive manufacturing process, a design is necessary, which can be created using CAD software or by scanning an existing object. The design is then transformed into a detailed blueprint by the software, providing precise instructions to the 3D printer. Once the blueprint is transmitted, the actual production of the object begins. The time required to complete the additive manufacturing process varies depending on the size of the object, with smaller items typically being manufactured more efficiently and in less time.
The automotive sector takes the forefront in Thailand's potential for additive manufacturing (AM) applications, with major global automakers like Toyota and BMW leveraging this manufacturing technology. This industry has forged promising partnerships with renowned research institutions, such as Singapore's NTU, to collaboratively develop materials for vehicle parts using additive manufacturing. For instance, Thailand’s Kasetsart University launched a Digital Prototyping Laboratory, the first cloud service for a 3D printer farm in Southeast Asia, to run university education programmes and research development.
The growing start-up companies with healthcare 3D printing technologies cater to rising demand for advanced technologies, which in turn is further boosting the additive manufacturing market growth. For instance, the company Meticuly was established to provide affordable, custom medical implants to Thai patients. It involves a combination of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, simulation software, and metal 3D printing technologies to deliver custom bone prostheses in just 7 days.
The cost of additive manufacturing technologies, including printers, materials, and post-processing equipment is relatively high compared to traditional manufacturing methods. This cost factor may limit the accessibility and adoption of additive manufacturing, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses, which is expected to restrain the growth of the market.
Continuous advances in additive manufacturing technology, such as greater printer capabilities, improved materials, and more efficient post-processing procedures, have supported industry expansion. These developments allow for improved quality, faster production, and more application options, driving more sectors to adopt additive manufacturing. As a result, it is expected to create ample opportunities for the future.
