Applications for Industry 4.0 that use lasers most frequently incorporate IoT, AI, cloud computing, cognitive computing, cyber-physical systems, machine learning, and other technologies.

Threat:

Concerns for the environment related to the usage of rare-earth elements

Using solid-state and fibre lasers to process and refine rare-earth metals like neodymium, chromium, erbium, or ytterbium present a significant risk of radioactive contamination brought on by slurry tailings. The refining procedures make use of hazardous acids that, if handled improperly, might cause significant environmental harm. Additionally, the usage of rare-earth metals raises the possibility of short-term supply interruptions, and future implementation of renewable energy technologies may be hampered by supply issues for these metals.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 epidemic has limited production in a number of sectors, including the automotive and consumer electronics industry. The demand for the goods needed for production decreased as a result. In the production of consumer electronics, automobiles, and other sectors, laser solutions are frequently employed. Additionally, the COVID-19 epidemic decreased demand for automobiles worldwide. The need for laser solutions rose in the automotive and data centre industries during the COVID-19 epidemic. Numerous optical communications products are made with laser diodes to build data centres. The expansion of the worldwide market is being driven by an increase in investment by key companies in the IT industry in data centres.

The vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL) segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. The rise of these laser diodes in data centres and communication equipment is mostly to blame for this. This segmental expansion is being driven by an increase in 5G device adoption and rising data centre expenditure. Technology advancements, lower operating costs, and higher edge quality and operating speeds are anticipated to create new applications for this technology. The vertical cavity surface emitting lasers market is expanding as a result of such increasing infrastructure investments in data centres.

The communication segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The communication segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its higher efficiency and operational activity of specific diode types, such as of optical fibertype. The advantages of wavelength lasing and modern tuning dynamics have been fully included into the design of the systems of the next generation. These lasers have use as pump lasers in Erbium-doped Fibre Amplifiers (EDFAs), high power pulsed lasers for field measurement and testing, and transmitters in analogue and digital fibre optic networks.
