A Triton Market Research report has determined that the 4D printing market in the Middle East and Africa is set to surge at CAGR of 25.20% during the projected period 2019-2028.
The countries scrutinized in the Middle East and Africa market are:
• Turkey
• Saudi Arabia
• United Arab Emirates
• South Africa
• Rest of Middle East & Africa
In the Middle East, different technologies, like 3D printing IoT (Internet of Things) & analytics and robotics, are important for several industries in the region. For instance, autonomous vehicles will be able to provide driverless transportation, which can provide greater safety and reduce human exposure to danger. In this region, many government agencies have begun adopting smart machines for different functions, like surveillance, distribution, inspection, search & rescue, mapping and maintenance.
In the past few years, the government in Turkey has been aiming to transform the economy of the country into a knowledge-based system. It is trying to focus on developing value-added smart products. The country believes that smart industry implementations can fuel the share of high technology products. These developments are likely to increase the potential application of the 4D printing market.
In South Africa, advanced analytics are increasingly used in the automation and automotive sectors. However, they are not yet explored much by manufacturers. Although the advanced sensor technologies are also at a nascent stage, there is a growing interest among manufacturers to leverage their potential. The ever-increasing awareness of the benefits and the potential of 4D printing technology is likely to boost the regional market growth.
