3D Printing In Healthcare Global Market Report 2026

The application of 3D printing in the healthcare sector entails producing a three-dimensional object by layering materials according to a digital design customized for healthcare purposes. This involves utilizing 3D design and printing technologies to create medical devices tailored to individual patients, anatomical models, and surgical tools.

The primary components of 3D printing in healthcare encompass systems, materials, and services. The provision of 3D printing services facilitates specialists in generating reference models through the utilization of MRI scans and CT scans, assisting surgeons in their preparations for surgeries. A range of technologies, including laser beam melting (LBM), electron beam melting (EBM), photopolymerization, droplet deposition, laminated object manufacturing, wax deposition modeling, and bio printing, contribute to this field. These technologies find diverse applications, such as creating personalized medical equipment, developing models for surgical planning and education, producing prosthetics and implants, advancing biomaterials, and printing personalized medicine. Moreover, these technologies are employed by various end users, including medical and surgical centers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and academic institutions.

Tariffs are influencing the 3D printing in healthcare market by increasing costs of imported printers, lasers, electronic control systems, and specialized printing materials such as metals and biomaterials. Medical device manufacturers and research institutions in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported high-precision systems, while Asia-Pacific faces higher material and equipment costs. These tariffs are raising capital investment requirements and slowing adoption in smaller facilities. At the same time, they are promoting domestic printer manufacturing, local material development, and regional innovation ecosystems for healthcare additive manufacturing.

The 3D printing in healthcare market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.47 billion in 2025 to $2.95 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in additive manufacturing technologies, early adoption of 3D printed surgical guides, expansion of academic research in medical printing, increased use of anatomical modeling, availability of diverse printable biomaterials.

The 3D printing in healthcare market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.99 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in bioprinting research, rising demand for personalized healthcare solutions, expansion of regenerative medicine applications, growing adoption of point-of-care manufacturing, increasing regulatory approvals for printed medical devices. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of patient-specific medical devices, rising use of bioprinting technologies, growing demand for customized surgical models, expansion of 3D printed implants and prosthetics, enhanced integration of digital design and manufacturing.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the 3D printing market in the coming years. Chronic diseases are long-lasting health conditions that are typically persistent and often incurable, including disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis. The growing burden of these conditions is largely attributed to the widespread adoption of modifiable lifestyle risk factors, including sedentary behavior, diets rich in processed foods, and high consumption of tobacco and alcohol. Three-dimensional printing supports the development of customized medical devices and implants for chronic disease management, improving treatment outcomes through highly personalized and precise solutions. For instance, in February 2024, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicated that in 2023, approximately 129 million people in the United States were living with at least one major chronic disease, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, or hypertension. Among them, 42% had two or more chronic conditions and 12% had at least five conditions, while nearly 90% of the annual USD 4.1 trillion healthcare expenditure was associated with the treatment and management of chronic diseases and mental health conditions. Therefore, the rising incidence of chronic diseases is contributing significantly to the expansion of the 3D printing market.

Leading companies operating in the 3D printing in healthcare space are prioritizing technological advancements such as multi-material 3D printing, which enables the production of complex, patient-specific medical and dental solutions with enhanced precision, efficiency, and aesthetic quality. Multi-material 3D printing refers to a manufacturing process that allows the simultaneous use of two or more materials within a single print, supporting the creation of highly functional and customized components in one build cycle. For example, in July 2024, Stratasys Ltd. launched the DentaJet XL, a high-speed PolyJet 3D printer designed specifically for digital dental laboratories. Equipped with a large build tray and 4-kilogram hot-swap resin cartridges, the system enables continuous production of up to 102 crowns and bridges in a single run. Its super high-speed mode increases productivity by up to 50%, while dual-material printing capabilities support the fabrication of multi-component dental restorations simultaneously. In addition, integrated software automates part layout and large-batch post-processing, reducing labor requirements and operational costs while improving accuracy, throughput, and safety in high-volume dental manufacturing environments.

In July 2024, Materialise, a Belgium-based provider of 3D printing solutions, acquired FEops for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition will allow the company to enhance its cardiovascular solutions by incorporating predictive simulation capabilities powered by 3D technologies. This advancement aims to support the development of personalized treatments for heart disease, customized to each patient's unique anatomy, ultimately leading to improved outcomes and patient satisfaction. FEops specializes in simulation technology, providing software solutions for engineering simulation and analysis, and is also a Belgium-based company that offers 3D printing solutions in the healthcare sector, particularly in cardiovascular care.
