Inflation and increasing demand for high-end metal additive manufacturing systems helped to boost industrial 3D printer revenues this past quarter as unit sales fell across the globe, according to the latest report from market intelligence company CONTEXT . Shipments varied across different machine classes and industries, while inflationary price increases propped up revenues across the gamut, resulting in an overall total system revenue growth of 15% on the previous year. While the industrial machine segment (those costing upwards of 100,000 USD) saw shipments fall by -15% (YoY), the category held a 54% majority of the industry's overall system revenue, and saw revenues rise by 11% (YoY) due to greater demand for metal 3D printing hardware.
