The global laser processing market size is expected to reach USD 14.94 billion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Laser Processing Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Laser Type (Solid Lasers, Liquid Lasers, Gas Lasers, And Other Types); By Discrete Industry; By Application; By Industry; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2024 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Laser processing, a method utilizing lasers, finds application across various industrial and commercial sectors, encompassing cutting, welding, drilling, engraving, marking, and micro-processing. Unlike traditional techniques such as plasma, flame, and water jet, laser technology offers several advantages. A water jet, commonly used for ablation and structuring, generates significant noise during operation, making it less suitable for material processing. In contrast, laser technology efficiently accomplishes these tasks without causing noise pollution. Additionally, lasers are extensively utilized in engraving and marking consumer items, electronic components, and industrial equipment across diverse sectors, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical, packaging, and more, thereby fueling the growth of the global laser processing market.

In medical applications, carbon dioxide and Nd: YAG lasers are prevalent technologies employed for diagnostic and treatment purposes. Laser technology is increasingly utilized in various medical procedures, including skin, hair, and cancer treatments, as well as surgeries such as artery cleaning and detached retina repair. Moreover, laser technology enables cosmetic procedures like birthmark and skin blotch removal, and is instrumental in processing medicinal materials such as surgical instruments and implants.

Furthermore, lasers play a crucial role in medical treatments such as lithotripsy, angioplasty, dermatology, cancer diagnostics, mammography, medical imaging, microscopy, and ophthalmology. In industrial settings, laser technology is embraced for additive manufacturing, facilitating faster production rates, reduced material waste, and the creation of intricate designs. The demand for high-power lasers with enhanced beam quality drives advancements in laser technology for processing industrial materials. Disk lasers, which overcome thermal lensing limitations associated with traditional lasers like Nd: YAG rod lasers, offer superior beam quality and processing capabilities at high power levels.

Moreover, the adoption of laser-drilling technology in the oil and gas exploration industry is expected to replace conventional methods, leading to cost reduction and market expansion. As the demand for industrial solar modules grows, the laser processing market is poised for further growth. Additionally, technological advancements and increasing demand for laser technology in the medical sector, driven by benefits such as faster healing times and reduced discomfort, are expected to contribute to market expansion. Advancements in edge quality and cutting rates are also anticipated to broaden the global laser processing market.
