If there is one technology that would appear like magic to prehistoric humans, or even dwellers of the 19th century, it is 3D printing. The sight of a printer simply producing metal objects that would previously take painstaking forging to manufacture is nothing short of astounding. Therefore, it is natural that the 3D printing industry is one of the most lucrative and fastest growing in the world.
For instance, a research report from Strategic Market Research estimates that the industry was worth $14 billion in 2021 and it will grow at a whopping compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21% to sit at $77 billion by the end of 2030. Dividing the market in terms of printers and materials, the research firm reveals that industrial printers held the dominating position by accounting for 70% of the market and that metals were the most widely used material as they accounted for more than 50% of all the materials used. Additionally, Strategic Market Research also shares that the automotive industry is the largest user of 3D printing and that most of the overall use of the machines involves manufacturing prototypes. As is the case with most advanced technologies markets, such as biotechnology and artificial intelligence, North America was the largest 3D printing market in 2021 as it represented roughly 30% of the total market.
Another report, this time from Fortune Business Insights, has an even stronger growth rate for 3D printing. It believes that the industry was worth $15 billion in 2021, and from then until 2029, the sector will grow at an unbelievable 24.3% CAGR to sit at $83.9 billion. This report concurs with the previous one to claim that prototyping was the largest use for 3D printers and that North America is a global leader. Fortune Business Insights also outlines that new age technologies such as robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence will simulate the industrial adoption of 3D printers.
A heavy user of 3D printing is the aerospace industry. Modern day jet engines have thousands of components, and some of these, such as the turbine blades, need to be built to exacting specifications and with a single mold of material. Some engine components that use 3D printing are turbocharger impellers, blades, fuel nozzles, and other parts. Leading 3D printing firms that might catch your eye are General Electric Company (NYSE:GE), Xerox Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:XRX), and Renishaw plc (LON:RSW.L).

LUSAIL, Qatar (AP) France played its part in one of the most memorable finishes in World Cup history, even though the defending champions failed to retain the title. Kylian Mbappe's hat trick of goals all came late - first in regulation, then in extra time - and helped give France a 3-3 draw with Argentina in the final. In the penalty shootout, it seemed destined for Lionel Messi to win his first World Cup at the age of 35, not Mbappe to win his second at 23.

Stocks moving in after hours: Nike, FedEx, Workday
The big market headline this year – all year – has been the steady fall in stocks. The S&P 500 is down 20% for 2022, and the NASDAQ has fallen a disastrous 33%. And while recent data shows that there may be some hope on the inflation front, there may still be storm clouds massing for next year’s stock market. That’s the view of Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's chief equity strategist. He’s been a leading voice among the bears this year, and he’s not changing that tune as we head into the New Year.

In December of 2021, crypto exchange Coinbase Global was about to cap a banner year: it had gone public with a valuation north of $85 billion and a $328 share price, raised over $3 billion through corporate bond offerings, and would ultimately take in $7.8 billion in annual revenue. Coinbase stock (ticker: COIN) dropped 9.1% last week, only to fall to a new all-time low of $34.51 on Monday, before closing at $35.17. As it has attempted to weather the crypto winter, Coinbase has been careful to distance itself from the likes of FTX and other crypto companies that have imploded recently, pointing to its identity as a Nasdaq-listed public company with audited financial statements.
