India has a strong manufacturing industry and 3D printers are a part of this manufacturing landscape. In India, the market for 3D printers is at an emerging stage, offering enormous growth opportunities in the upcoming years. Domestic production, along with the low cost of manufacturing, and the increased access across various applications is spurring the 3D printer market in India. With the low cost of production, increasing awareness, and advancements in material research, the 3D printer market is anticipated to see impressive growth in the coming years.
The 3D printer market in India is predicted to pass $79 million by 2021, with automotive applications leading the growth. Educational and medical applications are also seeing good growth. Other usages embrace arts and crafts, interior decoration, fashion accessories, footwear designs, jewelry designs, furniture, and modeling.
India mostly imports 3D printers from countries such as the U.S., China, and Germany. However, with government programs designed to improve domestic manufacturing, many local manufacturers are expected to surface in the near future.
Choosing the right type of 3D printing technology for a specific application and use is of key importance for business leaders. Eventually, the technology has to provide business value. This is where AMTech comes in. AMTech EXPO is India's largest exhibition for additive manufacturing. The show provides a concerted business networking platform for 3D printing technology, where the environment of the additive manufacturing industry in India can be examined. Amtech provides a comprehensive view of the entire value chain of the core technologies in additive manufacturing.
The expo will be held December 11 – 12, 2019 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC), Mumbai, India. This is the 5th edition of India’s largest exhibition for Additive Manufacturing (AM). It provides a networking platform for 3D printing technology by experiencing the scope of the AM industry in India.
3D printing will help India’s endeavor to position itself as a global manufacturing hub.
With its capability to drive mass personalization, 3D technology has the potential to usher in the industrial 4.0 revolution in India. The government is helping with special budgetary allocations, exploring the enormous possibilities that 3D printing technology presents.
AMTech with conferences, seminars and market intelligence provides an ideal way to exchange knowledge, understand the latest market trends, network, and exchange ideas how to make the best use of this technology in the Indian context. During the show, the Additive Manufacturing Business Forum will provide an ideal arrangement for learning from industry experts, networking and exchanging ideas to hasten the adoption of AM in India. It will provide the latest market trends, developments and present business cases in automotive engineering, tooling, aerospace, metal additive manufacturing and much more.
The Shanghai Additive Manufacturing Association (SAMA) will be lending their support as an association partner for AMTech. This is a beginning taken by both the Indian 3D Printing Network (I3DPn) and SAMA to promote growth and networking between the additive manufacturing environment in China and India. This is the first I3DPn and SAMA India Forum, which will take place during the AMTech 2019 Expo.
