HOUSTON — (BUSINESS WIRE) — October 16, 2014 — Changing Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: CHGT) CEO Omar T. Durham says the demand for 3D printer materials and services, a sector forecast to reach $10 billion by 2018, is likely to exceed expectations as the technology moves into the mainstream and becomes readily available to consumers in retail environments.
“As more consumers and businesses become familiar with the cutting-edge advantages 3D printing technology offers and are given easier access through mainstream environments, like retail, the market for services is surely going to shatter expectations,” Durham said. “CHGT not only expects the demand for 3D printing services to continue to escalate as analysts predict, but we also expect to capitalize on this booming market segment by continuing to explore new 3D printing innovations, secure strategic partnerships and revolutionize on-demand for consumers in a variety of environments.”
CHGT subsidiary 6th Dimension Technologies (6D3D) will be offering high-quality, professional-grade on-demand 3D printed items at its retail kiosks. Currently a technology not easily accessible to mainstream consumers, 6D3D users will be able to customize items such as arts and crafts, jewelry, mobile phone cases, figurines and licensed miniatures with groundbreaking personalization options.
Analysts predict that the demand for 3D printer materials and services will exceed $10 billion by 2018, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 43.8 percent over the next five years. With a $1.8 billion market value in 2013, the space is forecast for massive growth as the technology is further embraced by small and large scale manufacturers as well as the growing small business and mainstream consumer markets.
