The first half of 2022 has passed, affected by the epidemic, the development of the entire laser industry has declined, and some companies believe that the laser winter has arrived, and laser is becoming less and less profitable. However, some companies have also stepped on the current tuyere, with the demand of lithium battery field orders are also full of pot, although the current "winter" laser cutting market is not lifeless.
1 Domestic laser market size
Looking back at 2020, China's laser industry achieved a positive growth of 10 percentage points throughout the year, far exceeding expectations, and the overall size of the laser equipment market in 2021 increased by 18.3% year-on-year, reaching a record $12.9 billion. Although affected by the epidemic in 2022, the development of the laser industry has declined. However, China is a manufacturing country, but compared with the world's manufacturing powers, China's laser in the manufacturing industry, especially equipment manufacturing, the application ratio is low, only 30%, while the United States, Japan, Germany laser in the equipment manufacturing industry in the application proportion of more than 40%, the penetration rate of laser in the downstream manufacturing industry is higher than 10pct in China. In the future, the application of laser in the manufacturing industry will continue to improve, and the laser industry has broad prospects.
2 Laser cutting out of the downturn to meet new breakthroughs
With the development of laser technology, its application space is an eruption expansion, laser research and development and laser processing equipment production market is also booming, with the improvement of laser technology and the expansion of the competitive market, the overall laser processing equipment is becoming more and more civilian, processing efficiency, processing accuracy, intelligence is significantly better than the traditional CNC punching machine and plasma processing equipment. Laser processing equipment is increasingly welcomed by processing enterprises in various industries.
Laser processing equipment belongs to high-end manufacturing industry. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, laser processing technology has been a national key support and promote the application of a high-tech, especially the government stressed to revitalize the manufacturing industry, which undoubtedly brings development opportunities to the application of laser processing technology.
