Additive Manufacturing: Adding up Growth Opportunities for ASEAN
thyssenkrupp and National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster, Singapore
July 01, 2019

Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is currently at a technological and economical inflection point with potential to re-invent and disrupt the ~$12 trillion global manufacturing sector. Manufacturing is also at the center of the ASEAN economy driven by its cost competitiveness accounting for more than 20% of the region’s GDP and employing nearly 50 million workforce. However, AM has potential to disrupt traditional manufacturing cost structures and supply chains and give an equal opportunity to advanced economies to close their competitiveness gap and move manufacturing nearer to the end consumers. This poses a risk for ASEAN to fall behind and ASEAN needs to act now to secure its place in the age of Fourth Industrial revolution.
However, very little empirical research exists on the current status of AM in ASEAN (i.e., status of current adoption, leading markets & sectors, opportunities) leaving policymakers and business leaders without any guidance to best prepare for the future.
thyssenkrupp recognized this gap and assembled a multidisciplinary team of experts to construct a comprehensive perspective on the state of AM in the region and its implications for policymakers and businesses going forward. This builds on our rich working experience in the region over the last 150 years, our deep AM technology expertise in Mulheim, our recent set-up in Singapore, and the knowledge of our experts and our partners from EOS and NAMIC across the whole AM value chain.
This whitepaper provides a rich evidence base for policymakers and business leaders seeking to understand, analyze and invest in AM in ASEAN. The paper is structured along three chapters keeping in mind the diverse interest of various stakeholders:
• For business leaders: Chapter 1 provides a detailed overview of the AM market and its potential across ASEAN countries; while Chapter 3 lays down a systematic approach to analyze AM value chain and develop a commercially attractive business model
• For policy makers: Chapter 2 outlines the overall economic opportunity from adopting AM in ASEAN and the impact it can create across various aspects of the economy from trade, social development, job creation to sustainability
• For AM enthusiasts: Appendix 1 provides a brief overview of the technology and its applications today
