New consumer trend drives a significant increase in 3D printing equipment production.

The latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that the output of 3D printing equipment in May increased by 40% compared to the same period last year, exceeding the growth rates of industrial robots and new energy vehicles. The Shanghai Securities News reporter noticed that so far this year, the output of 3D printing equipment has maintained a relatively high growth rate, with a 60.7% year-on-year increase in April and a 44.9% year-on-year increase in the first quarter. "The core driving force behind the significant year-on-year growth in the output of 3D printing equipment is the double growth in sales of consumer-grade 3D printing equipment both domestically and internationally," said Li Fangzheng, Deputy Secretary-General of the China Additive Manufacturing Industry Alliance, to reporters. Many industry insiders believe that the recent increase in sales of consumer-grade 3D printing equipment is mainly due to three factors: first, the content ecology and community culture of 3D printing are gradually maturing, leading to a continuous increase in the user base and demand for products; second, a large-scale production mode has been formed in the consumer-grade 3D printing field, with product quality and quality also improving with technological iterations, driving the enhance product accessibility; third, factors such as the decreasing prices of consumer-grade 3D printing equipment have led to an increase in overseas market demand for equipment.
