The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the growth of the global 3D printing gases. 3D printing technology is widely used in the construction, design, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the construction and manufacturing sectors has adversely affected the market growth of the 3D printing gases market. The lockdowns and isolations imposed by the government in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, resulted in the shutdown of manufacturing plants and production units, hampering the construction and production sectors. The stoppage of production and construction processes, due to the lack of labourers also decreased the market demand for 3D printing gases. The imbalance and large gap between supply and demand also resulted in the downfall of the 3D printing gases market in the COVID-19 period.

Increasing demand for 3D printing using inert gases.

The rising demand for 3D printing using inert gases is one of the major factors fuelling the market growth of the global 3D printing gases market. The growing need for inert gases in the aerospace and healthcare industries to achieve the high-tolerance standards necessary in 3D printing is projected to drive the market forward. Inert gases provide an inert atmosphere during the printing process, which helps to reduce the oxidation of sintered parts by lowering the oxygen concentration and creating a stable printing environment by maintaining a steady pressure in the print chamber. The stable nature showcased by inert gases used in 3D printing is rising the demand for 3D printing using gases. Gases like argon and nitrogen have a variety of uses, mostly because they improve the overall quality of 3D-printed items. The efficiency and stability showcased by 3D printing with gases compared to others are increasing the demand for the process in certain industries like aerospace, healthcare, and construction.

Wide applications in the manufacturing and healthcare sectors.
