The Laser Interferometer Market size was estimated at USD 309.36 million in 2023 and expected to reach USD 329.93 million in 2024, at a CAGR 6.78% to reach USD 489.96 million by 2030.

A laser interferometer utilizes the interference of light waves to make precise measurements of various physical quantities, such as distance, length, displacement, or vibration. A laser interferometer is based on the principles of interference, which is the interaction of two or more coherent waves resulting in constructive or destructive interference patterns. Increasing requirement for precision measurements across manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and electronics increases the demand for laser interferometers. Continuous growth in the semiconductor industry increases the demand for laser interferometers for wafer inspection, lithography, and other critical semiconductor processes. High costs and complexities in non-optical materials associated with laser interferometers hamper the growth of the market. The growing development of compact and portable laser interferometers that can be easily integrated into handheld devices is expected to increase the applications of laser interferometers.
