The laser pointer market is brewing a new storm

A few days ago, the plan was heavily released, which proposed: to focus on the new generation of information technology, biotechnology, new energy, new materials, high-end equipment, new energy vehicles, green environmental protection, aerospace, marine equipment and other strategic emerging industries, and accelerate the key core Technological innovation and application, enhance the ability to guarantee the elements, and cultivate new momentum for industrial development Related to this, laser pointer technology is widely used in these industries.

For example, in the field of new-generation information technology, laser communications, laser display, optical storage, and optical sensing are all important industrial applications; in the field of new materials, optoelectronic materials, solid-state laser materials, photovoltaic cells, and material processing are all related to laser It is closely related; the recent hot market in the field of new energy vehicles, lidar, energy battery welding, automotive sheet processing, cutting, cleaning, etc. are also important factors that cannot be avoided…

However, as the laser market is increasingly showing a red sea, the dispute over the route of technological development has become more and more turbulent. The status quo of the laser industry: the market growth rate is slowing down, and the homogeneity competition is serious. In recent years, China’s laser industry has developed vigorously, especially lasers. As one of the indispensable core components in the laser processing system, lasers are widely used in various industrial manufacturing fields such as material processing, communications, information processing, medical beauty, scientific research and military affairs.

According to data, the global laser market continued to grow from 2013 to 2019. The global green laser pointer market in 2019 was 15.13 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 1.3%. With the slowdown of the market growth rate, the industrial development has gradually revealed its dilemma: the homogeneity of products is becoming more and more serious, the market price competition is disorderly, the gross profit margin of products has dropped sharply, and the living environment for small and medium-sized enterprises has become increasingly difficult…

With the increasing demand for high-end industrial manufacturing in industrial upgrading, domestic enterprises are also increasing R&D investment to explore new technical routes, and seek breakthroughs through differentiated layouts to build new advantages, in order to occupy the market in the ever-changing laser industry. Go ahead.

At present, there are two mainstream routes for laser technology research and development on the market: one is the vertical expansion of laser power performance, that is, through breakthroughs in technical bottlenecks to continuously increase output power, reduce prices, and improve efficiency to increase product market competitiveness; second, new lasers The horizontal expansion of the company is to develop new laser types through new light sources, media, structures, etc., to develop new application scenarios and open up new markets.
