Global Diode Mount Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global diode mount market

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global diode mount market will grow at a CAGR of more than 6% by 2021. The rising demand for laser diodes in industrial applications is identified as one of the primary growth factors for this market. Many industries, including heavy engineering, aerospace, consumer electronics, and general manufacturing, regularly use laser diodes in various applications, such as material processing. The utilization of laser diodes is increasing across industries due to their advantages, such as high efficiency, compact size, short wavelength, and long maintenance-free cycles. Mounts are used on diodes as they use the embedded temperature sensor to provide feedback to the temperature controller. This then acts to maintain a constant temperature in the industry processes. With the increasing demand for diodes, the demand for diode mounts will subsequently increase in the coming years.

In terms of geographic regions, APAC will be the major revenue contributor to the diode mount market throughout the forecast period. The growth in the industries in APAC countries, including China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and India, will drive the growth of the diode mount market in this region. APAC is the largest market for semiconductors that are used in industrial applications. Moreover, inexpensive labor, low manufacturing costs, and the growth of the industrial sectors that lead to the demand for materials processing and lithography will also drive the demand for diode mounts in APAC.
