Global 3D Food Printing Market is predicted to grow to around USD 1.65 billion by 2030

The global 3D food printing market size was worth around USD 486 million in 2021 and is predicted to grow to around USD 1.65 billion by 2030 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 16.12% between 2022 and 2030.

Three dimensional (3D) food printing is the process of using technology to print food items. It is considered an additive process that employs additive technologies aiding designs that would not be possible with subtractive manufacturing techniques. 3D food printing is still in the early stage of acceptance and utilization requiring more research and development to become useful in the current world scenario. With this technology, the number of foods that can be printed is currently restricted and these items require paste-like inputs like mousses, purees, and chocolate ganache. The printers function just like printing filament with the use of fused deposition modeling (FDM) which means that printing required a viscous material to be deposited to print a final outcome.

Currently, they are used extensively to provide designs and shapes and not to actually cook the food item. Once the 3D printing is complete they can be cooked separately like microwaving. This step determined how effective the printing technique is because, before the final steps, the food has to be safe for consumption because the food may deform while cooking if there were any errors during the printing process. Many gourmet food providers use 3D food printing technology and since as of now it is not scalable the global market users are currently very limited.

The global 3D food printing market is projected to grow owing to the rising applications of food printers in the space exploration sector. With the growing interest and investments in the space industry, it is imperative to make sure that the humans venturing into space are provided with sufficient and nutritious food which is possible to achieve with the aid of 3D food printers. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has already started exploring ways of accommodating 3D food printing in their ventures to provide astronauts with their respective dietary requirements.

The agency has envisioned producing food products with a shelf life of more than 30 years instead of using contemporary methods like freezing the products. This could also have a positive influence on the mental health of the astronauts that stay in space for a longer duration since they will have access to customized food items. Space exploration application is expected to become one of the largest revenue-generating sectors for the global market.

Although the current technology lacks the ability to produce food that is made of multiple materials. The latest printers can make use of only a limited set of food ingredients in certain forms and are not as capable of producing large-scale food items that can be prepared using traditional ways. Other factors that could impede global market expansion are related to the structure and speed the food items are produced.

The promising view as a solution for hunger may provide growth opportunities while safety may act as a crucial challenge during the growth phase.

The global 3D food printing market is segmented based on ingredients, technology, vertical, and region

Based on technology, the global market divisions are selective laser sintering, extrusion-based, inkjet, binder jetting, and others. In 2021, the leading revenue-generating segment was extrusion-based 3D food printing since the technique is predominantly used in commercial centers. This method used paste-like ingredients that can be easily converted into attractive designs with excellent textures. It requires fewer raw materials and is relatively lower in cost as compared to other technologies while also offering easy customization. The feed rate in extrusion-based printers ranges between 5 millimeters per second to 15 millimeters per second.

Based on vertical, the global market segments are commercial, residential, and government with commercial leading the global market revenue in 2021. The segment is made of restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and retail stores amongst other places where such products can be sold. The segment may witness significant growth due to the growing demand for meat-based products. In commercial centers like eateries, the service provider can cater to the specific demands of their guests by making use of 3D food printing technology. However, since the equipment costs between USD 1000 to USD 5000, only selective restaurants have the technology available.

North America is the leading contributor to the global 3D food printing market. The first printer was invented by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) which is one of the main reasons for high consumer awareness about the product. The growing interest of one of the largest space exploration agencies NASA in deploying 3D food printing methods may contribute heavily in the coming years. The European market is expected to benefit from the large and world-renowned gourmet food segment in the region and the willingness of commercial end-consumers to adopt better technology for upgrading their services.
