4D Printing in Healthcare Market Overview


The 4D Printing in Healthcare Market is expected to reach USD 7465.89 Million by 2030 at 25.10% CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2030.


In the past decade, there has been increasing use of 3D printing in the field of healthcare. The introduction of 4D printing and its shape-changing material property in the field of dentistry, implants, and prosthetics, among others will further enhance the 3D products used for these applications. The shape-changing property of the material used for 4D printing has been one of the major factors influencing the growth of the 4D printing in healthcare market.


Moreover, factors such as increasing research and development, rising investment by chemical companies. These chemical companies are keen on grabbing the opportunity for the development of smart materials in 4D printing, which in turn is directly enhancing the growth of the 4D printing in healthcare market.


Factors such as stringent regulatory policies for the approval of 4D printing medical devices and limited skilled professionals have been major challenges for 4D printing in healthcare market.  


Market Drivers




  • Increasing application of 4D printing in healthcare verticals such as dentistry, implants, and prosthetics.

    • The dental industry is one of the major applications of 4D printing. Clear aligners have been the most manufactured products via 3D printing in the dental industry.

    • Align technology, the leader in global clear aligners market, accounts for about 80% of the 4D printing in healthcare market. The company uses 3D Systems to produce over 1.6 million custom aligners per week.

    • Clear aligners can further be enhanced using 4D printing, as these products require shape altering properties according to the changing structure of the teeth on a weekly basis.

    • 4D printers are also used to manufacture various dental implants, including dental implants, dentures, crowns, & bridges, among others.

    • Increasing prevalence of dental diseases is further influencing the growth of the market. According to the MRFR research study in 2018, it was estimated that oral diseases affected more than 3.7 billion individuals that are around half of the world’s population.






  • Rising research and development

    • A research team from the US in March 2019, invented a new bio-ink that allows to print catalytically active live cells into several self-sustaining 3D geometries. These properties include tunable cell densities, fine filament thickness, and high catalytic productivity.






  • Growing investment by chemical companies

    • Various companies such as BASF Venture Capital GmbH and Evonik Venture Capital have invested in Chinese 3D printing companies




Market Challenges



  • Stringent regulatory policies for the approval of 4D printing medical devices

  • Limited skilled professionals
