Global 3D Printing Elastomers Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2032

3D printing elastomers are flexible materials—such as thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)—used in additive manufacturing to produce rubber-like parts with high durability, stretchability, and resilience. These materials enable complex geometries and customer-specific designs across industries like automotive (seals, gaskets, vibration-dampers), healthcare (custom prosthetics, orthotics), consumer goods (wearables, grips), aerospace, and robotics. Market growth is driven by the demand for lightweight, customizable, and cost-efficient production, especially for low-volume or on-demand parts. While material costs and technical complexity remain challenges, innovations in sustainable elastomer blends and 3D printer compatibility are accelerating adoption globally. The elastomer 3D printing market has surged from around USD 162 million in 2021 to over USD 440 million in 2023–24, and is projected to exceed USD 2 billion by 2030–32, growing at 25–30% CAGR.
