Growing Research Funding Driving UK Additive Manufacturing & Material Market

UK Additive manufacturing & material market is anticipated to exhibit a CAGR of 25.5% during the forecast period (2021-2027). UK is a major contributor towards the growth of AM & material market across Europe after Germany in terms of both the development of knowledge and successful application of AM technology. In 2017, UK government had published an Industrial Strategy to promote the adoption of AM technology in the end-user industries operating in the country. Ongoing AM research and development projects and programs are the key factors driving the considerable growth of the country’s market.

Numerous major UK universities are actively engaged in AM-related research, with the three largest centres of research activity being the University of Nottingham, University of Sheffield and the University of Cambridge. In 2015, Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) was opened in the country that houses one of the most advanced National AM Centres. However, while the UK has considerable capacity in research, commercial adoption of the technology in manufacturing is still slow. Only few companies including Bowman International for bearing cages, Metron for elite cycles, Attenborough Dental for crowns and bridges, and Renishaw and Croft for filters and GKN for aerospace and automotive components are using AM to a great extent.
