Overview


According to FutureWise analysis, the market for 4D Printing in Healthcare is expected to reach US$ 0.12 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 30.10% over the forecast period of 2023-2031.

4D printing uses similar technology to that of 3D printing. It adds one more dimension of transformation over time, where printed product reacts with parameters like temperature/humidity etc., to change their form per the requirements. It is a new & advanced technology, rapidly emerging through different disciplines, such as engineering, medicine, material science, chemistry, basic sciences, and computer science. This technology is based on the fundamentals of stereolithography, where ultraviolet light (UV) is used to cure a material layer by layer during the printing process. It is a rapid and accurate manufacturing method for customized fabrication of soft structures. It uses unique materials with self-deformation property and is adopted by scientists for research.

4D printing enables the production of medical tools and equipment with enhanced functionalities. Self-assembling surgical instruments can be designed to transform into specific shapes inside the body, allowing for minimally invasive technique and reducing the need for multiple incisions. These instruments can also incorporate self-sensing capabilities, providing real-time feedback during surgeries and improving precision. Additionally, 4D printing holds promise for developing advanced drug delivery systems. By incorporating smart materials into pharmaceutical formulations, drug-release mechanisms can be triggered by specific environmental conditions or biological signals within the body. This technology has the potential to optimize drug dosage, timing, and localization, leading to more effective and targeted therapies.

Recent development for 4D Printing in Healthcare Market:

  • In March 2023, researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) successfully developed a 4D printer with potential in the biomedical sector. This printer has the capability to program the material's response to an external magnetic field or mechanical deformation. As a result, it can change its shape or electric characteristics accordingly. Moreover, this machine allows for the control of these additional functions.

4D printing technology drives a significant transformation in the medical field. It has broader applications in tissue engineering, chemotherapy, and self-assembling human-scale biomaterials. Now there is a development from 3D medical devices to 4D medical devices, such as manufacturing biomedical splints, stents, bioprinting, and orthodontic devices. It manufactures implants as planned, which grow with human growth. 4D printing handles such difficult situations easily with better accuracy. With this technology's application, endless possibilities potentially impact all sectors, like medicine, manufacturing, and education, thus driving the market growth. In the medical field, there is an excellent contribution of 4D printing technology to minimize the procedure of surgery. One of the key areas where 4D printing is making significant strides is tissue engineering. By using stimuli-responsive materials, researchers can create artificial tissues and organs that possess the ability to adapt and grow within the human body. For example, 4D printed bone structures can be implanted and gradually extend over time, providing a more natural and personalized approach to bone regeneration. This technology is expected to create a disruptive effect on medical and other related industries in the next upcoming years which is anticipated to create opportunity for key market players to generate revenue for this target market. However, the complex nature of technology and lack of skilled individuals are expected to limit market growth.
