Middle East and Africa 3D Printing Medical Devices Market to Grow at a CAGR of 15.1% to reach US$ 293.6 Million from 2021 to 2028

The Middle East & Africa 3D printing medical devices market is expected to reach US$ 293.6 million by 2028 from US$ 109.6 million in 2021. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 15.1% from 2021–2028.

The advancements of the medical 3D printing technology have made significant contributions to the healthcare sector. New tools and therapeutic methods developed through 3D printing can bring new levels of comfort and personalization to treatments. The applications of 3D printing technology also allow doctors to gain a better understanding of complex cases, which can lead to a higher standard of care. Moreover, individualized treatments and high-impact medical applications are likely to become a reality with advancements in 3D printing technologies and materials. The use of 3D printing also brings cost-effectiveness, higher productivity, design and manufacturing democratization, and improved cooperation in therapeutic applications. The freedom to create custom-made medical devices and equipment, including personalized prosthetics and implants, is the main advantage of 3D printers in medical applications. Furthermore, 3D printing can be used to create custom jigs and fixtures for use in operating rooms. Custom-made implants, fixtures, and surgical instruments can help reduce surgery time, improve patient recovery time, and increase surgery or implantation success. These technologies are also expected to allow the personalization of medicine dosage forms, release profiles, and dispensing for each patient in the future.

The adoption of 3D print technology across Africa region has been slow over the last few years, with applications limited to uses cases such as concept modeling and functional prototyping. Given the 3D print market's high responsiveness and agility to fill in medical supply-chain gaps, COVID-19 has likely compelled more businesses in Africa to reconsider their adoption of the technology and make a profound impact on disrupted supply chains. Elective surgeries have declined more rapidly in the Middle East than in Europe and the United States, with some treatments being hit more than others. Bariatric, orthopedic, and plastic surgeries have been particularly severely impacted, whereas trauma and some cardiovascular procedures have fared better.

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the 3D printing medical devices market. The Middle East & Africa 3D printing medical devices market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
