An edge-emitting laser is a type of semiconductor laser diode that emits light from the edge of the semiconductor chip. These lasers are compact, efficient, and can emit light at specific wavelengths, making them essential components in numerous electronic and optical devices. Edge-emitting lasers generate a highly collimated and intense light beam by applying the principle of stimulated emission within a semiconductor material.
Edge-emitting lasers come in various types, including distributed feedback laser, distributed Bragg reflector laser, fiber perot laser, and broad area laser diode. Distributed-feedback lasers employ a resonator with a periodic structure throughout the laser gain medium, acting as a distributed Bragg reflector within the laser action's wavelength range. These lasers find applications in optical communication, material processing, medical surgery, displays, research and development, and diverse industries such as defense, sensing, medical sciences, optics, electronics, oil and gas, among others.

The edge emitting laser market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.8 billion in 2024 to $2.05 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of applications in the healthcare and medical sectors, rise in demand for laser diodes in automotive headlights, utilization in automotive lidar applications, increased preference in 3D scanning and printing applications, and market expansion in the automotive industry.
The edge emitting laser market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.4 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing use of optical fiber communication, rising information traffic, edge emitting lasers' efficiency in producing single wavelength laser beams, application in optical fiber communication, increasing adoption in medical applications. Major trends in the forecast period include demand for high-speed communication, use in instrumentation and sensors, adoption in smart displays, and application in AR and VR devices.
The surge in the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) is anticipated to drive the growth of the edge-emitting laser market in the coming years. IoT encompasses a network of interconnected devices embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies, enabling data collection and exchange over the internet. The adoption of IoT is driven by factors such as increased efficiency, cost savings, enhanced remote operations, and revenue generation. Edge-emitting lasers play a crucial role in supporting the IoT ecosystem by facilitating high-speed, reliable, and efficient data transmission, enabling precise sensing capabilities, and enhancing overall energy efficiency and security. For example, according to data from the GSM Association in January 2022, global IoT connections are projected to reach 23.3 billion by 2025, marking a significant increase from the 15.1 billion connections recorded in 2021. Consequently, the rise in IoT adoption is fueling the growth of the edge-emitting laser market.
Key players in the edge-emitting lasers market are concentrating on developing innovative products, such as gallium nitride (GaN) laser technology, to enhance performance, efficiency, and application versatility. GaN laser technology utilizes gallium nitride as the semiconductor material to produce high-performance lasers. These edge-emitting GaN lasers offer several advantages over traditional laser technologies, including emission of light in the blue and ultraviolet spectrum. For instance, in September 2022, Kyocera Corporation launched a GaN laser chip, the smallest mass-produced from a silicon working substrate. This chip is designed for micro-light sources, crucial for next-generation automotive transparent displays and micro-light sources for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications. These micro-light sources provide key performance benefits such as higher definition, smaller size, and lighter weight, catering to diverse industry needs.
