Market Overview

A Photopolymer is a polymer that is light sensitive and will change chemically and structurally when exposed to a specific wavelength of light. Increases in demand for prototyping across the automotive industry and designs for comprehending complex surgical procedures have led to increased demand for a photopolymer for 3D printing. Even increasing demand for artificial jewelry and prosthetics across the population is helping drive market growth. The nation's automobile industry is driving up demand for photopolymers. The original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the U.S. are focusing on improvements to traditional prototyping and methods of component development. The need for the production of automotive components like high-performance components at volume, an ample supply of spare parts via 3D printing, and generally easier manufacturing of components should drive demand for photopolymers for 3D printing of components across the U.S. during the forecasting period. The photopolymer market is growing as a result of the developing semiconductor and electronics industries. Within these sectors, photopolymers find employment in a wide range of products, such as optical films for displays, encapsulants for electronic components, and photoresists for photolithography. The electronics sector is expanding due to the growing demand for gadgets like laptops, cellphones, and wearable technology, which is pushing up demand for photopolymers.
