This market research study identifies Brimrose Corporation of America, Gooch & Housego, Harris, and Isomet as the leading players in the global acousto-optic devices market. A comprehensive analysis of this market is also presented by application, by end-user, by product type, and by geography.
Overview of the global acousto-optic devices market
According to Technavio’s market research report, the global acousto-optic devices market will grow at a CAGR of more than 9% during the forecast period. The increasing need for precision in the healthcare sector will be one of the key drivers stimulating growth in the market during the projected period. Lasers are highly used in body contouring, hair removal, LASIK surgery, optical coherence tomography (OCT), skin resurfacing, tattoo removal, and wrinkle reduction. Laser diodes are used for medical and aesthetic applications. Acousto-optic devices are used during these procedures to adjust the wavelength of the light and maintain selectivity. This enables lasers to focus the beam with better precision to prevent any damage to the surrounding tissues. The incorporation of acousto-optic devices in laser technology will continue to increase in spine surgery, cardiovascular surgery, and cataract surgery to carry out various medical procedures.
North America has the presence of most prominent vendors for fiber lasers such as IPG Photonics, ROFIN-SINAR Technologies, Coherent, and Newport. CO₂ lasers offer high-speed, flexibility, precision, and anti-electromagnetic interference. These lasers are increasingly adopted in research, communications, medical, military and defense, and a number of other sectors. The increasing demand and growing market for lasers will drive the growth of the laser processing acousto-optic devices market in North America from till 2021.
