  Increasing demand for material processing is driving the market growth

  
  

The market for industrial lasers is being driven by the increased demand for material processing across numerous applications, including automotive, industrial machinery, aerospace, and construction. Due to many advantages, such as increased flexibility, increased productivity, and time-efficiency, laser systems are being used more and more for material processing, which is projected to lead to a strong demand for industrial laser sources in the market. Based on numerous secondary sources, the market for laser systems for material processing reached around USD 19.8 billion in 2018, growing by about 17% annually. The rise in demand for high power laser cutting and welding applications is to blame for this. The increase in automotive applications is to blame for the surge in demand for welding applications. The automotive sector is anticipated to develop as a result of the automobile industry's shift to e-mobility. Furthermore, the expansion of the automotive industry is being fueled by changing government policies. For instance, the Chinese government announced a significant easing of the country's prohibitions on foreign investment in the automobile sector in 2018. Commercial vehicles and passenger automobiles will be exempt from limits on foreign investment in 2022, after restrictions were lifted on new energy and special purpose vehicles. Therefore, it is anticipated that the aforementioned government efforts would attract significant investment, which will propel the automobile sector. This is also expected to support the growth of the industrial laser market as a whole throughout the forecast period.

Greater profitability for laser producers is being brought about by the rising demand for additive manufacturing due to its advantages, such as customisation, higher productivity, and quicker Time-To-Market. Additionally, the demand for high efficiency, waste reduction, customisation, decreased costs, and errors is driving growth in 3D manufacturing. The use of laser metal deposition and selective laser melting in machine tools for 3D printing is expected to grow the industrial lasers industry. The sector of additive manufacturing is projected to expand as a result of the growing demand for production process optimisation. Despite the substantial initial expenditure, operational costs have significantly declined over time.

Plastic, metal, and other materials used in manufacturing can be correctly and efficiently sliced with the help of laser cutting devices. Due to its ability to focus on particles as small as 25 microns—roughly one-fourth the size of a human hair—this technology allows precision cutting and welding. Therefore, this technique makes it possible to make a cut with high precision and accuracy while removing the least amount of material possible. Computer systems are coupled with CAD software, which directs the laser, in a laser cutter system to accurately cut material within a specific cutting tolerance. Because of these benefits, industrial laser systems are becoming more and more popular over traditional options. Over the course of the forecast period, this is anticipated to boost the expansion of the global market for industrial laser systems. Thus, driving the Industrial Laser cutting market revenue.
