4D printing is the process through which a 3D printed object transforms itself into another structure over the influence of external stimuli such as temperature, light, electricity, heat, and others. The difference between 3D printing and 4D printing is that 4D printing technology uses programmable and advanced materials that perform a different functionality by adding hot water, light or heat. The increasing demand for 4D printing in various industries such as healthcare, military & defense, automotive, retail, and others is driving the market growth during the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
The growing adoption of 4D printing technology in healthcare sector is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. The 4D printing software is used to create, design, and assemble models which is required in the healthcare industry. This is attributed to increasing demand of 4D technology for various applications such as chemotherapy, self-assembling human scale biomaterials, and tissue engineering in healthcare industry. Furthermore, 4D printing technology helps in reducing the surgical procedures that could save the patients with pain associated with the surgical procedures. Moreover, growing demand for organ transplantation, technological advancement, research & development of the 4D printing technology in the healthcare sector, and the presence of highly developed healthcare infrastructure is fueling the market growth.
