Laser Processing Market: Key Drivers and Challenges
The growing benefits of laser welding over conventional welding is notably driving the laser processing market growth, although factors such as the availability of alternate machine tools for metal cutting application may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the laser processing industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Laser Processing Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the laser processing market is the growing benefits of laser welding over conventional welding. Laser welding offers several technical advantages, such as deep narrow welds, minimal distortion, and ease of automation, over conventional welding procedures. One of the key advantages of laser welding is its ability to automate the welding process, which helps in increasing the overall production rates. Although laser systems, in general, are more expensive than traditional methods, the cost savings achieved through higher production and lower reject rates almost nullify the additional cost incurred during the purchase of the laser welding systems. Such factors will positively influence the adoption of laser processing for industrial applications.
Key Laser Processing Market Challenge
The availability of alternate machine tools for metal cutting applications will be a major challenge for the laser processing market during the forecast period. The use of waterjet cutting machines to cut a wide range of materials and produce high-quality cuts makes it the preferred profiling method in end-user industries. The heat cutting process uses laser or plasma cutting machines for cutting metal parts. However, the excessive heat generated during the cutting process in laser and plasma cutting machines limits their application for materials that are reflective, conductive, heat-resistant, or heat-sensitive. The ability of waterjet cutting machines to precisely cut heat-sensitive and heat-resistant materials without generating heat has increased their popularity among end-user industries, such as construction, automotive, electronics and electrical, and aerospace. Collectively, these factors have affected the demand for laser processing machines for heat-sensitive applications.
This laser processing market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
