标题: National Bureau of Statistics: China's 3D Printer Production Rose 62.5% in the First Three Quarters
Introduction: Nanjixiong has a strong hunch that a 3D printing company in China will exceed RMB 20 billion in revenue in 2026.

On October 20, 2026, Nanjixiong learned that the National Bureau of Statistics had recently released economic data for the first three quarters. The value added of industrial enterprises above designated size nationwide grew 5.3% year over year. By sector, mining grew 2.0%, manufacturing 5.7%, and electricity, heat, gas and water production and supply 5.4%. Value added in equipment manufacturing increased 10.2%, and high-tech manufacturing grew 14.3%, outpacing the overall growth of industrial enterprises above designated size by 4.9 and 9.0 percentage points, respectively. By ownership, state-controlled enterprises grew 3.8%, shareholding enterprises 5.8%, foreign- and Hong Kong/Macau/Taiwan-invested enterprises 3.2%, and private enterprises 4.3%.

By product, output of 3D printing equipment, lithium-ion batteries and industrial robots increased 62.5%, 39.5% and 29.1%, respectively, year over year. In September, value added of industrial enterprises above designated size grew 5.5% year over year, 0.3 percentage points faster than the previous month, and 0.61% month over month. The manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index was 50.1 in September, up 0.3 from the previous month, and the business activity expectations index was 53.8, unchanged. From January through August, total profits of industrial enterprises above designated size nationwide reached RMB 5.272 trillion, an increase of 15.7% year over year.

Nanjixiong paid particular attention to a comment by a responsible official during a press Q&A: "Our research has also found many successful cases. For example, applying 3D printing in ceramic production has helped accelerate the upgrading of the Jingdezhen ceramics industry, whose output value has exceeded RMB 100 billion."

Structurally, more than 95% of China's 3D printing equipment output consists of consumer desktop 3D printers. Bambu Lab, Creality, Snapmaker, Elegoo and others are based in Shenzhen. The rest includes industrial metal and photopolymerization 3D printers.

Nanjixiong estimates that China's consumer 3D printer shipments could reach 8 million units in 2026, growing by more than 60%. Maintaining such a high growth rate on an already large base is rare across product categories.

With these large shipment volumes, Nanjixiong strongly believes that in 2026 Shenzhen could see a consumer 3D printing company exceed RMB 20 billion in revenue, as well as five companies with annual revenue between RMB 1 billion and RMB 5 billion.

Shenzhen has become the world's undisputed "number one city for consumer 3D printing."

Nanjixiong also notes that several other maker-tool categories are growing rapidly alongside consumer 3D printers:

Desktop CNC machines;
Desktop laser engravers;
Desktop full-color UV printers;
Desktop fabric knitting machines.
