Global Laser Marking Machine Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Laser Type(Fiber Laser, CO2 Laser, UV Laser, YAG Laser, and Others (Green lasers, Diode-Pumped Lasers, and many more)),and by Application(Electronics, Automotive, Medical Devices, and Others (Packaging, Jewelry, and many more)),Forecast Period (2023-2030)
The global laser marking machine market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period (2023-2030). The rise in demand for precision marking which is achievable by laser marking machines as these machines are much more accurate is a key factor contributing to the global market growth. The rising demand of customers in personalized machines is also contributing to the market growth.
The high initial investment cost of the laser marking machine may restrain its market growth. Additionally, operating and maintaining laser marking machines efficiently requires specialized technical knowledge and skills. This necessitates training for the workforce or hiring skilled personnel, increasing operational costs.
The global laser marking machine market is segmented into laser type and application. Based on the laser type, the market is sub-segmented into fiber laser, co2 laser, UV laser, yag laser, and others. Further, based on application the market is sub-segmented into electronics, automotive, medical devices, and others.
Among the laser types, the fiber laser sub-segment holds a considerable share of the global laser marking machine market. The high demand for fiber lasers owing to its offered benefits is a key factor driving the growth of this market segment. Their super-sharp, steady beam allows for precise and detailed markings on a variety of materials, overtaking other options like CO2 lasers. This makes them perfect for high-precision jobs. Fiber lasers also work incredibly fast, thanks to their rapid pulsing. This translates to increased production speed and efficiency for manufacturers. Additionally, this laser has a wider range of wavelengths compared to other technologies thus can mark on a much broader spectrum of materials, from metals and plastics to ceramics and even organic materials.
The global laser marking machine market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Among these, Asia-Pacific holds the largest market in the global market. The e significant rise in the manufacturing sector across the region has driven the demand for laser marking machine across the region. China and India are leading the manufacturing sector and especially India in recent times has been heavily investing in local manufacturing. As the products are being made locally within the country and the labor of India and China are much cheaper than that of other regions so it makes the manufacturing cost is much cheaper in the Asia-Pacific region.
Among all regions, the North America is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. Laser marking has become a popular choice for manufacturers in North America due to its precision, permanence, and versatility. This is particularly true in industries like aerospace, medical devices, and high-end electronics, where accurate and durable markings are essential. North American manufacturers have a history of adopting cutting-edge technologies early, and laser marking is no exception. They have embraced advanced technologies like fiber and ultrafast lasers, which offer unmatched speed, precision, and versatility. Additionally, the region's significant investment in research and development for laser marking technologies has led to continuous innovation, improving efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and application possibilities. This, in turn, has driven market growth. Moreover, North America's strong infrastructure and supply chains ensure timely access to equipment, spare parts, and servicing, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
The major companies serving the Laser Marking Machine market include Coherent Corp., Han's Laser Technology Industry Group Co., Ltd., IPG Photonics Corp., MECCO, TRUMPF, and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in August 2023, Coherent Corp. introduced its next-generation ultralow-cost Matrix nanosecond pulsed UV lasers for high-contrast marking applications in consumer goods, industrial electronics, home appliances, and packaging. These newly launched lasers are diode-pumped solid-state lasers that provide marking quality at almost half the cost of old-generation lasers.
