Russia's Additive Tech Market Booms, Aims for 180 Centers by 2030

The Russian market for additive technologies (AT) has seen significant growth and strategic planning in recent years. In 2023, the market size reached 12 billion rubles, with the government aiming to create around 180 centers for additive technologies by 2030. Meanwhile, the global stock market is projected to exceed $110 billion by 2030, growing at a rate of 23% annually.

In 2020, the Russian AT market was valued at 3.56 billion rubles, with the market for additive equipment and components being 2 billion rubles. The government has shown commitment to this sector, approving the 'Strategy for the Development of Additive Technologies in the Russian Federation until 2030' in July 2021. The state plans to allocate 170 billion rubles for AT development from 2025 to 2030 as part of the 'New Materials and Chemistry' project.

Metal 3D printing dominates the global AT market, accounting for over half (54%) of the market share. Airbus has already adopted this technology, installing a titanium bracket made using 3D printing on its A350 XWB aircraft in 2017, reducing the part's weight by a third. GE Aviation, a global leader, had 40 3D printers in operation by 2018 and produced a 30,000th fuel nozzle tip using additive technology. In Russia, over 150 enterprises were involved in the AT market as of the beginning of 2024, with around 60 specializing in metal printing.

The Russian AT market has grown significantly, with the government investing in its future. As global leaders continue to adopt and innovate in additive technologies, Russia is positioning itself to become a key player in this rapidly growing stock market.
