Wohlers Associates, powered by ASTM International, has announced Wohlers Report 2025. According to the Wohlers Report 2025, the global additive manufacturing (AM) industry grew by 9.1%, reaching USD$21.9 billion.

Most of the AM growth was driven by the expansion of the AM industry in Asia, particularly in China, while Europe and Middle East (EMEA) and the Americas experienced only slight growth or even declines. AM machine manufacturers saw a decline in revenue, whereas other segments of the industry grew, with material producers achieving the highest year-over-year growth. 

Information gathered by the Wohlers Associates team suggests that although the weighted average growth rates in the AMER and EMEA were +/- 5%, many companies in these regions experienced double-digit positive revenue growth rates, which highlighted the importance of strategy and market positioning.
