4D printing is an evolved form of 3D printing which uses a combination of special materials and complex designs to change its shape and appearance over time. Factors influencing appearance changes are wind, heat, water, and other forms of energy. The materials are programmed to react to certain triggers. This is evident with various research laboratories focusing their attention on microscopic structures that evoke such changes. The global 4D printing market report by Market Research Future (MRFR) investigates the drivers and challenges associated with the industry as well as its scope for the period from 2019 to 2022 (forecast period). The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects are included and reflected in projections for growth and revenue sizing in the report.
