The global laser processing market size is expected to reach USD 42.73 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.0% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising utilization of expensive laser-drilling techniques for oil and gas exploration purposes is projected to substitute the traditional methods. Decreasing drilling costs are anticipated to increase the feasibility of uneconomic oil deposits, thus positively impacting the market growth. The growing need for this type of processing in industrial solar modules is further expected to fuel the market growth.
The requirement for laser technology in the medical sector is projected to witness significant growth due to increasing technological advancements. These technical developments offer faster recovery time, smaller incisions, and lesser pain. The increasing adoption of these methodologies is expected to spur the demand for surgical lasers. Advancements leading to enhanced edge quality and cutting speeds are anticipated to offer growth avenues for the market. Furthermore, the manufacturing sector has increased the adoption of laser technology for processing the material due to many advantages over traditional material processing, which is expected to be one of the major factors driving the market.
Significant investments by the market players in R&D are fueling the growth of the market. For instance, Fudan University researchers led by Profs. X. Wu, M. Lu, and S.-Y. Zhang produced an all-silicon laser with high optical gains using silicon nanocrystals. Silicon nanocrystals are similar to GaAs and InP. All-silicon laser combines optoelectronics and microelectronics used in various fields such as sensing, communication, displays, detection, and imaging.
