Grow your business with MY YARD vacuum formers

In today’s dynamic business landscape, customisation, small-batch production, and hands-on learning have never been more valuable. Desktop vacuum forming is rapidly emerging as an essential tool across sectors from education and product design to small business manufacturing. This versatile technology empowers creators and entrepreneurs to shape, mould, and produce with remarkable speed, precision, and flexibility.

For resellers, this presents more than just a product opportunity. It's a chance to align with a growing movement and offer customers a tool that genuinely solves problems, fuels creativity, and adds value across industries.

This paper explores the rising demand for desktop vacuum forming, the trends driving its adoption, and how you can leverage this momentum to expand your businesses with a solution that integrates into your existing portfolios.

What is driving the rise of desktop vacuum forming?

As businesses and creators prioritise speed, personalisation, and innovation, desktop vacuum forming has gained strong traction. Traditionally used in packaging, prototyping, and fabrication, vacuum forming involves shaping plastic sheets over moulds using heat and suction. However, this process was once limited to large-scale industrial setups, making it inaccessible to most small businesses and creators.

That is now changing. With the emergence of desktop vacuum formers, the process has become compact, affordable, and accessible. These machines are transforming how people make things and the demand is growing quickly.

According to DataIntelo, the desktop vacuum former market is expected to grow from $150 million in 2023 to $375 million by 2032, with a CAGR of 10.5%.

The desktop vacuum forming equipment market shows different levels of adoption and growth worldwide. North America stands out as a key region, fueled by a large number of educational institutions, a thriving DIY community, and a high density of innovative startups and small to mid-sized enterprises.

The United States, in particular, demonstrates strong demand for these machines, backed by well-developed research and development infrastructure.

What is driving this surge? A rising demand for hands-on product development, affordable prototyping, and smart classroom tools. Small businesses are seeking in-house manufacturing solutions, schools are looking for STEM-integrated tools, and makers are pushing the boundaries of creative production.
