Important possibilities on the 3D printing market in Europe include the shortage of workers through automation, a faster conclusion of the project and the reduced costs
Dublin, June 10, 2025 (Globe Newswire) -The “Europe 3D printing market, after land, competition, forecast & opportunities, 2020-2030f” was added Researchandmarkets.com Offer.
The Europa 3D printing market was rated $ 0.68 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 1.07 billion by 2030, which increases a CAGR of 7.77%.
The 3D printing construction is an innovative building technology that uses automated, additive manufacturing processes to create structures layer by layer. In contrast to conventional construction methods, which are based on manual work and conventional materials such as bricks and concrete blocks, 3D-pressure construction uses large-scale robot printers that extract special concrete, plastic or other composite materials.
This technology offers several advantages, including faster construction times, reduced labor costs and minimal waste of material. It enables the creation of complex architectural designs that are difficult or expensive when you reach traditional methods. In addition, the 3D pressure construction can improve sustainability by using environmentally friendly materials and optimizing the use of resources.
The applications of 3D printing in the construction work range from small residential projects to large commercial buildings, bridges and even disaster relief accommodation. The technology has achieved considerable attention to its potential to remedy the closer to the apartment, especially in areas with low income or from disasters affected by providing affordable and quickly applicable solutions.
Important market driver
Lack of qualified workers in the construction industry: One of the urgent challenges in the European construction industry is the lack of qualified workers. In many countries in the region, the number of trained workers recorded due to aging populations, falling interest in building jobs and increasing competition for specialists. This lack of work has led to higher wages and longer project schedule, which creates inefficiencies in the industry. The construction sector in Europe is facing an aging workforce, with a large percentage of employees approaching retirement. According to a report by the European Construction Industry Federation (FEC), around 40% of construction workers are in Europe or older, which leads to a potential lack of qualified workers in retirement.
The 3D printing construction deals with this problem by automating important parts of the construction process. Large 3D printers can continuously work with minimal human intervention and reduce the dependence on qualified bricklayers, bricklayers and other handlers. This automation leads to faster project times and lower labor costs for the projects.
In addition, the integration of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) into the 3D pressure construction enables precise execution, which reduces human errors and rework. Since the European construction sector continues to struggle with a shortage of labor, the assumption of the 3D printing construction is expected to increase as a practical solution to maintain productivity and at the same time reduce the dependency on human labor. The FIEC found that laborists increase costs and delay projects. Expertise shortage has led to an increase in construction costs by 5-10% in several European countries, especially in regions with rapid urbanization and growth of the infrastructure.
Important market challenges
Regulation and compliance obstacles: One of the biggest challenges for the 3D printing market in Europe is the navigation of the complex regulatory and compliance requirements. In contrast to conventional construction methods with well-established safety standards, building regulations and legal framework conditions, 3D printing in the construction system is still relatively new. As a result, there is a lack of standardized guidelines and regulations for use.
Each European country has its own building regulations, which makes it difficult for companies to scale business activities in several markets. Many of these regulations have been developed for conventional building techniques, and existing laws do not always take into account the unique properties of 3D printed structures. This creates legal uncertainties in relation to aspects such as structural integrity, durability, fire resistance and construction certification. In addition, the preservation of permits for 3D printed buildings can be a time-consuming and complex process. In many cases, the local authorities and supervisory authorities are not familiar with the technology, which leads to delays in the project permits. Without clear legal framework, developers and investors can hesitate to commit themselves to large-scale 3D printing projects and to slow down the introduction of technology.
Key market trends
Expansion of sustainable and environmentally friendly 3D printing materials: One of the most important trends on the 3D-3D printing market in Europe is the growing use of sustainable and environmentally friendly materials. Since the European Union (EU) is urging stricter environmental regulations and net zero carbon goals, construction companies actively examine environmentally friendly materials in order to reduce their ecological footprint. Traditional building materials such as cement and steel contribute significantly to carbon emissions, which makes them less suitable for the future of sustainable construction.
The 3D pressure construction offers the possibility of using alternative materials such as recycled concrete, biological composite materials and geopolymer cement that offer lower carbon emissions and at the same time maintain structural integrity. Researchers also develop new materials from industrial waste such as flight ash and glass powder to further reduce the production of waste. In addition, some companies experiment with biodegradable and plant-based materials such as Hanpcrete and Myzel composite materials (mushroom base) in order to create completely sustainable structures.
