The increasing ongoing construction activities, along with the rising need for customized, cost-effective formwork solutions to produce building materials with minimal construction waste is primarily facilitating the adoption of 3D concrete printing technology across the globe. The technology assists in prototyping, designing, and producing accurate, lightweight construction components, including lintels, staircases, roofs, and walls with strong structural integrity, which represents the key factor driving the market growth. In line with this, governments of various nations are continuously investing in various renovation and infrastructure projects. This, along with the increasing environmental consciousness has promoted the large-scale deployment of 3D concrete printing solutions for the construction of green building purposes, which is acting as another growth-inducing factor.

The key manufacturers in the market are pioneering new techniques to enhance the efficiency and capabilities of 3D concrete printing. In addition, strategic collaborations amongst key players for introducing and commercializing concrete printing solutions to reach the masses are propelling market growth. For instance, in May 2024, Holcim Switzerland and PERI 3D Construction announced the completion of the construction of Switzerland's first onsite 3D-printed building. The 150 m2 showroom is built for Kobelt AG and it features striking curved walls with a height of over 6.2 meters, demonstrating a new concrete mix developed for sustainability and durability. The innovative design integrates wood-steel elements with printed concrete, delivering a fresh and advanced perspective on construction. This accomplishment sets a new benchmark for efficient and eco-friendly building practices in Switzerland.
