The VAT photopolymerization 3D printing technology market is projected to rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.18% to reach a market valuation of US$30,037.738 million by 2029, from US$5,283.230 million in 2022.
VAT photopolymerization is a 3D printing process that uses a VAT of liquid material to build 3D things layer by layer, which are subsequently solidified using ultraviolet radiation. Due to the rising need for this technology's high accuracy and smooth finish that enables its extensive application in particular sectors like healthcare, demand is predicted to increase significantly over the coming years.
Vat photopolymerization (VP) printing, considered the oldest technological principle, has emerged as the standard in dental practice due to its reproducibility, precision, affordability, and adaptability. While some practitioners utilize material extrusion (MEX) printing, notably fused deposition modeling (FDM), to create models, it won't be discussed here. This is because these technologies are unsuitable for long-term dental medical device production, primarily due to their extended printing duration, high material porosity, and lack of stable biocompatible materials. According to a 2021 report from the American Dental Association, the United States had 201,117 active dentists in 2020, which equated to a ratio of 61.0 dentists per 100,000 people. The report projected that the unadjusted ratio of dentists per 100,000 population would rise from 60.7 in 2020 to 67.0 by the year 2040.
Growing research in the photopolymer sector is expected to boost the market in the projected period
The development of durable photopolymers is driven by research and development in VAT photopolymer materials for a variety of 3D printing applications, including the creation of form-memory polymers. For instance, scientists from the Technical University of Vienna (TU Wien) in Austria have devised a technique for creating robust, high-resolution 3D printed polymers that may make it possible to get around the constraints that now exist for light-cured 3D printing materials. This entails customizing the manufacturing of photopolymers based on methacrylates without altering the curing procedure. Photopolymers are, therefore, expected to become increasingly important in 3D printing technology.
Further, in order to compete with injection molding and shed its reputation as an outdated rapid prototype technique, VAT photopolymerization 3D printing technology is significantly improving. It is gradually becoming a next-generation, Industry 4.0 digital manufacturing process. The development of high-speed, layer-free photopolymerization printing techniques that enable the use of more durable liquid resin components and isotropic component properties, as well as the continued advancement of photopolymer materials used in conventional VAT photopolymerization procedures like stereolithography, are contributing factors.
The dental sector has a significant interest in and uses VAT photopolymerization. Additionally, VAT photopolymers are employed in the manufacture of hearing aids, the creation of models that can aid in preoperative planning and diagnostics, and the creation of replicas of organs or parts of the body that can be used for training purposes to show delicate surgical operations like osteotomies. A 3D-printed human ear model, for instance, was created in June 2022 by a team of researchers from the University of Oklahoma in order to standardize testing for blast exposure of hearing protection devices (HPDs ). The researchers predict that applying 3D printing technology will significantly enhance the evaluation of HPDs by enhancing personalization, enhancing cost-effectiveness, and speeding up the process. Therefore, these research endeavors have increased the healthcare expenditure and expected to augment the market growth during the forecast period.

Photopolymerization-based 3D printing techniques have revolutionized various fields, including microfluidics, dentistry, biomedical devices, tissue engineering, and drug delivery. However, despite the rapid growth of this technology, there are still challenges that need to be addressed to enable its further progress. These challenges include the development of more diverse biocompatible materials for 3D bioprinting applications, 3D printing technologies with higher speed and resolution, the production of 3D materials with living features, expanding the physicochemical and mechanical properties of 3D printed materials, and addressing environmental concerns related to the production of thermosets. Collaboration among multidisciplinary researchers is crucial to overcome these challenges and bring about new applications for industries. This research area is expected to continue to evolve and hold promise for advanced studies and applications.
The market is projected to grow in the North American region.
The market growth is being driven on account of increasing demand for customized and complex products across various industries, including aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and architecture. This is because VAT photopolymerization 3D printing technology allows for the production of highly detailed and intricate designs that cannot be produced using traditional manufacturing methods. In the healthcare industry, VAT photopolymerization 3D printing technology is being used to produce highly customized medical devices and implants that fit the specific needs of individual patients. This has revolutionized the field of prosthetics, allowing for the production of prosthetic limbs and other devices that are comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. For instance, in April 2021, Evonik launched two photopolymers under their brand names INFINAM(R) TI 3100 L and INFINAM(R) ST 6100 L which are compatible with both SLA and DLP VAT polymerization technologies.
Additionally, the development of advanced materials has enabled VAT photopolymerization 3D printing to be used in a wider range of applications which is a key factor driving the growth of the VAT photopolymerization 3D printing technology market in the United States. For example, the use of biocompatible resins has enabled the production of customized medical implants and prosthetics, while the use of high-strength resins has enabled the production of aerospace and automotive parts.
The decreasing cost of 3D printing technology in the United States is driving the adoption of VAT photopolymerization 3D printing solutions. In the past, 3D printing technology was considered expensive and was primarily used by large corporations and research institutions. However, over the years, advancements in technology and economies of scale have resulted in the cost of 3D printing technology coming down significantly. This has made it possible for small and medium-sized businesses as well as individual hobbyists to invest in 3D printing technology. The reduced cost of VAT photopolymerization 3D printing technology is also making it easier for businesses to experiment with new products and designs, as they can quickly and cost-effectively produce prototypes before moving into full-scale production.
Furthermore, the United States government has been actively promoting the growth of the VAT photopolymerization 3D printing technology market growth through funding and grants for research and development. The government has also established partnerships with private industry and academic institutions to support the development and commercialization of 3D printing technologies. The government has also implemented tax incentives and other financial programs to support the growth of the 3D printing industry. For example, the Research and Development Tax Credit provides federal and state tax credits to companies that invest in research and development activities, including those related to 3D printing technology and the purpose should be to create new or improved products relying on hard sciences.
