Bambu Lab Surpasses 170,000 Orders on Taobao! Domestic Sales Hit CNY3.6 Billion? Global Revenue Could Reach CNY36 Billion by 2030?

With some unrestrained number crunching and bold predictions, Panda3dp.com estimates that Bambu Lab, a global leader in consumer-grade 3D printing, has achieved CNY1.9 billion in domestic online sales and a total of CNY3.6 billion from 2022 to July 2025 (figures unverified). Furthermore, it forecasts that China’s consumer 3D printing market could reach CNY18 billion annually by 2030, with the global market potentially hitting CNY72 billion.

Bambu Lab: A Meteoric Rise in the 3D Printing World
In both the 3D printing industry and the broader global tech scene, Bambu Lab has emerged as a rapidly ascending star. Since launching its first printer—the Bambu Lab X1—the company has made a powerful impact in the consumer 3D printer segment. With cutting-edge innovations and product excellence, Bambu Lab has achieved remarkable success in a short time.

The company’s revolutionary approach—bringing industrial-grade performance, including unmatched high-speed and stable printing, multi-material automation (AMS), and intelligent calibration, into the consumer price range—has completely reshaped the market. This "top-down disruption" transformed 3D printers from niche tools for geeks and makers into widely accessible productivity machines for designers, entrepreneurs, and everyday households. The result: a rapid expansion of both user base and market size.

Technology-Driven Growth: Igniting the 3D Print Farm Boom
Bambu Lab’s breakthroughs in performance and affordability have directly fueled the explosive growth of a new model—“3D print farms.” This mode of scalable production has, in turn, become a major driving force behind the company’s soaring sales.

Refined Sales Estimate Based on Behavior Analysis

Adjustments based on typical consumer behavior:

· Average equipment per order: 1.5 units

· Average materials per order: 2 rolls

Revised Totals:

· Adjusted Equipment Revenue: CNY5B × 1.5 = CNY7.5B

· Adjusted Material Revenue: CNY1B × 2 = CNY2B

· Online Sales (Revised): CNY9.5B

Adding Other Online Channels
Bambu Lab is also active on JD.com, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu. Assuming these platforms match Taobao’s sales figures:

· Other Online Sales: CNY9.5B

· Total Online Sales: CNY19B

Full Domestic Sales Estimate
Offline sales are equally strong, particularly from large-scale print farm operators who often purchase hundreds or even thousands of units. Assuming offline equipment sales equal online (CNY7.5B), and materials also contribute another CNY2B:

· Offline Sales: CNY9.5B

· Total Domestic Revenue: CNY19B (online) + CNY9.5B (offline) = CNY36 billion

Annual Growth and Cumulative Revenue Estimates
Estimated annual sales:

· 2022: CNY500M

· 2023: CNY2B

· 2024: CNY6B

· Jan–July 2025: CNY5B

· Total to Date: CNY13.5B (~27% of projected company total)

Bold Forecasts for China’s 3D Printing Market
Bambu Lab’s 170,000+ unit sales prove the success of its strategy to bring industrial-grade capabilities to consumers. More than a hardware revolution, it’s a shift in public perception, turning 3D printing into a household productivity tool. The popularity of print farms is only accelerating this momentum.

Imagine:

· China has 1.4 billion people and 30 million middle-class families.

· If 10 million families own 3D printers by 2030, with each spending similarly to current users, the market size could reach:
10M760K×CNY3.6B=CNY47.3B\frac{10M}{760K} × CNY3.6B = CNY47.3B

Round off with further adjustments and growth assumptions, Panda3dp.com estimates:

· Cumulative Domestic Market by 2030: CNY47.3B

· Remaining Potential (2025–2030): CNY47.3B − CNY3.6B = CNY43.7B

Growth Model & Final Forecast

Using a 50% annual compound growth model over 5 years, the math roughly resolves to:

· Final year (2030) domestic market size: CNY18 billion

· Assuming global market is 3× China’s: CNY72 billion

· If Bambu Lab captures 50%: Revenue could reach CNY36 billion

A Gamble Worth Taking?
Many may think Panda3dp.com is overly optimistic—"all bark and no bite." But to skeptics, here’s a challenge: If Bambu Lab hits CNY36 billion revenue in 2030, send Panda3dp.com a CNY3,600 red envelope in their 3D printing group. If not, Panda3dp.com will send the group a CNY3,600 red envelope instead.

Let’s bet on the future.
