Both markets remain dramatically different, but the stakes remain the same when it comes to conquer the overall market.
The US is still on its way to
retain its position as the market leader in terms of market revenue, mostly due
to the greater proportion of high-end printers adopted by the manufacturing
sector.
In china, considering the high
support that industrial transformation has received from favorable policies
introduced in China’s 13th 5-Year Plan such as the “Made in China 2025”
initiative, China buyers from the manufacturing sector are on the soft line to
become more conscious of and more reliant on high print quality.
In fact, the Chinese
Government is dramatically promoting development in areas of hi-tech
manufacturing such as aerospace and aviation. Demand from these segments will
drive the growth of China 3D printer market, narrowing therefore, the revenue
gap between the China and US 3D printer markets.
