【3D Printing News】Global 3D Printing Sentiment Analysis! Which Country Ranks First?
During the eight years of Ultimaker's rapid growth, the 3D printing sector has seen astonishing growth and changes. The number of global enterprises adopting 3D printing continues to increase. To track this development potential, Ultimaker conducted a "3D Printing Sentiment Analysis" across 12 countries and presented relevant data in 2019. This report, commissioned to the international research company "Savanta," thoroughly investigates the current and future 3D printing development potential in 12 countries worldwide, covering a wide range of industries, commercial, industrial, and educational fields, etc.
What does 3D Printing Sentiment Analysis represent?
The 3D printing sentiment index is an important indicator of market development and adoption rates. It not only reflects the current market enthusiasm and expectations but also expresses users' perceptions and evaluations, thereby predicting the growth potential of the 3D printing industry in a given country. This report includes 2,548 interviews with professionals and an analysis of global economic factors. The survey also covers five key points: market awareness, adoption rate, installed base, 3D printing growth index, future optimism, and convenience, etc.

2019 Key Indicators
In addition to country rankings, this survey also includes big data from other industries, such as the level of understanding of 3D printing technology applications. One surprising result is that, given current awareness and adoption rates, 65% of businesses are still unaware of or have never used 3D printing, indicating significant growth potential for the industry in the coming years.
Future Growth Potential
"Positive sentiment drives corresponding actions and investments, leading to significant and sustainable growth. This study combines customer feedback with global economic indicators to provide a macroscopic explanation of the current market status and growth potential of 3D printing. For potential businesses that have not yet adopted 3D printing or are still observing, this index shows that nearly half of their competitors may have adopted more advanced technology. However, investing now incurs minimal risk and is the best time to join the leading pack," emphasized Rohit Jhamb, Director of Global Research and Analytics at Ultimaker.
