The additive manufacturing industry continues to expand at an unprecedented pace. Each day brings new machines, materials, and production workflows that reshape what's possible. To navigate this complexity, you need insight - not just information.

For over 30 years, Wohlers Associates has tracked the global AM landscape. Now, under ASTM International, we’ve expanded our proprietary database with new tools, technologies, and methodologies — incorporating both AM-specific and broader industrial data for greater strategic context.

Whether you're looking for insights on global machine installations, materials sales by process, or future investment trends, Wohlers Market Intelligence delivers the intelligence you need to grow with confidence.

Our Market Intelligence Portfolio includes:

• Market Reports - While the Wohlers Report has long been our flagship product, Wohlers Associates also produces specialty reports covering a wide range of additive manufacturing topics.

Wohlers Report 2026 - Available Now

Annual depth. Quarterly clarity. Daily intelligence.  

Now in its 31st year, the Wohlers Report 2026 is the global benchmark for additive manufacturing market intelligence, and the flagship of the ASTM AM Market Intelligence portfolio.

The AM market is no longer growing uniformly. It's diverging, by segment, geography, capital flow, and policy exposure. The 2026 edition is built to extract the strategic signal beneath the headline, for decision makers, asset allocators, and business strategists making capital, growth, and positioning decisions in a restructuring industry.

What's new and what's deepened in 2026:

• a dedicated end-user section: the only global dataset of its kind, with adoption maturity, ROI patterns, barriers, and enablers segmented by stage, application, and geography. Built for benchmarking your AM strategy against peer organizations.
• expanded capital allocation analysis: tracked deals, regional capital flows, and a "capital (mis-)allocation" thesis naming where value has compounded and where it has been destroyed. Built for investors and corporate development teams.
• a China deep-dive informed by our regional analyst network, covering deals, policy signals, and competitive dynamics English-language sources miss.
• U.S. defense policy analysis covering multiple AM-relevant NDAA Sections, with value-chain implications mapped by role — equipment OEMs, materials producers, software, service bureaus, and primes.
• comprehensive coverage across equipment, materials, software, and services with the granular detail needed for competitive positioning and portfolio decisions.
• independent and citable, backed by ASTM's standards authority and the largest network of AM specialists in the industry.

Whether you allocate capital across AM, lead strategy at a manufacturer, advise government or defense programs, run an AM equipment or materials business, or shape academic and association agendas, the 2026 edition is built to anchor the decisions ahead of you.

Available in print and digital, with enterprise subscriptions for teams of five or more.
