A huge number of power generation companies are investing in renewable energy sources, especially in the European USA and Asian countries.

• Increase number of government initiatives for spreading  awareness

The governments are endorsing renewable energy sources by offering incentives and subsidies to renewable power generation companies globally. The Australian government invest approx. $600 million in subsidies to wind power generators. This is anticipated to increase the demand for services which has provided by construction companies, thus driving the market during the forecast period.

• Inherently green technology

For build energy efficient buildings and reduce construction costs, the building construction companies are gradually using green construction techniques. Green construction refers to the using of sustainable building materials and construction processes to produce energy-efficient buildings with nominal environmental impact

Opportunities

• Technological advancement

Due to technological advancements, the abilities of simulation software is advanced to attain advanced simulating printing and achieve better coordination between industrial printing parts and simulation software. This helps to upsurge the process for optimize machine performance, reliability and decrease material waste.

• Rapid urbanization

Rapid urbanization in the world increase the demand of 3D printing construction market.  Due to reduced material consumption, improved safety, injuries of construction workers in the fields, less reliance on human resources, durable and sustainable infrastructure are encouraging companies to adopt this technology, better branding and market share will boost new market opportunities for the market's growth rate.

Restraints/ Challenges

The negative impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on the supply chain, as well as the high cost of raw materials, would act as market restraints, further challenging the market growth rate. The increasing demand for large capital investments, combined with the availability of limited-size printers, will stymie the expansion of the 3D printing construction market over the forecast period. The inability to carry large objects and the lack of handle support in 3D printing construction are the primary market restraints that will slow the market's growth rate.

COVID-19 Impact on 3D Printing Construction Market

A coronavirus epidemic occurred in 2019, resulting in a COVID-19 global pandemic. Companies that used to play a significant role have transferred their activities away from the point of origin. With a considerable decline in output, both the manufacturing unit and the supply chain have been significantly hit. The transportation of goods was restricted due to which the requirements of raw materials were affected to construct 3D printers. However, the higher cost of 3D printing equipment and lack of skilled labour and due to imposing regulations on 3-dimension printing can restrain the industry growth.

Recent Development

• In June 2019, the plan of UAE government to construct approximately 25% of new buildings in Dubai as per 3D printed buildings by 2025. In order to attain this target, company has selected CyBe construction.
