France 3D Printing Elastomers Market Outlook

the french 3d printing elastomers market is projected to witness substantial growth over the forecast period of 2018-2032, driven by the growing demand for elastomeric materials for diverse range of applications in various industries. elastomers are a group of materials renowned for its deformability and the ability to recover the original shape after deformation. they are either thermoplastics or thermosets, and employ a wide range of polymers, including compounds of polyethylene, polyurethane, nitrile rubber, neoprene, and others. 3d printing technology uses thermoplastic elastomers (tpes), as they can be repeatedly melted and remolded for denser and more complex structures. as the 3d printing technology is gaining popularity across various industries, companies are increasingly turning to elastomeric materials to upgrade their production processes. a wide range of applications of 3d printing elastomers further includes consumer electronics, automotive and aerospace, food and beverage, medical and healthcare, textiles and apparel, and others. in the french market, 3d printing elastomers are rapidly gaining traction due to their thermal and electrical insulation, increased chemical resistance, and superior mechanical properties that can provide a range of functional performance benefits. in addition, durability and reusability, along with low cost make elastomers versatile in the 3d printing applications. as the french government is actively supporting research and development and innovation in 3d printing, major players have already taken the initiative to launch 3d printing elastomer specific products such as isoprene tpe from collaboration between basf and stratasys and med-elast from dsm. in the near future, production costs are expected to continue to fall for 3d printed elastomers, enabling conventional industrial manufacturers to use them in mass production for various applications. due to the advancement in 3d printing technology and introduction of innovative products, 3d printing elastomers market growth opportunities are likely to remain strong in france.
