In an environment shaped by digital transformation and globalization, manufacturers face increasing market dynamics, cost pressure, and more sophisticated customer requirements. As this demands flexibility and adaptability, enterprises rely on new solutions for collaboration. A marketplace for production capacities supports companies in reducing order risks and improving responsiveness to changing market conditions. We seek to define requirements for a marketplace that is capable of matching products with production processes. With an initial focus on additive manufacturing, we aim to build a blueprint for similar application scenarios in other industrial contexts. Therefore, we employ a qualitative research based on expert interviews. Our results suggest that a marketplace for production capacities must address various requirements, which can be grouped under the categories of technologies, machines, and products. We further build a conceptual meta model that sets the groundwork for the matching and thus facilitates the implementation of the marketplace in practice.
