【3D Printing News】Global 3D Printing Sentiment Analysis! Which Country Ranks First?
In the eight years of Ultimaker's rapid rise, the 3D printing industry has seen tremendous growth and change; the number of global businesses adopting 3D printing has continuously increased. To track these developments, Ultimaker conducted a "3D Printing Sentiment Analysis" across 12 countries and presented the relevant data in 2019. This report was commissioned by the international research firm Savanta, which thoroughly investigated the current and future potential of 3D printing development in 12 countries, covering a wide range of industries, commercial sectors, and education, among others.
What does 3D Printing Sentiment Analysis represent?
The 3D printing sentiment index is an important indicator of market development and adoption rates, reflecting not only current market enthusiasm and expectations but also user perceptions and evaluations, thereby predicting the growth potential of the 3D printing industry in a given country. This report includes 2,548 professional interviews and an analysis of global economic factors. The survey also covers five key points: market awareness, adoption rate, installed base, 3D printing growth indicators, future optimism, and convenience.

Global Rankings
Based on the above factors, the countries implementing additive manufacturing processes and 3D printing are ranked as follows, also reflecting each country's technological development and acceptance and application of emerging technologies:
| Rank | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
| Country | USA | UK | Germany | France | China | Japan | Mexico | Switzerland | Italy | Netherlands | Spain | India |
2019 Key Indicators
In addition to the 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 huge room for growth in the industry in the coming years.
Future Growth Potential
"Positive sentiment leads to corresponding actions and investments, bringing significant and sustainable growth. This study combines customer feedback with global economic indicators and provides a macro-level 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 technologies. However, starting development now entails minimal risk and is the best time to join the leading pack," emphasized Rohit Jhamb, Director of Global Research and Analysis at Ultimaker.
