Chinese Laser Market

China's laser processing market is mainly distributed in South China (30%), central China (24%), East China (20%), North China and Northeast China (13%) areas, including South China, Central China and East China three major areas of manufacturing developed The focus of laser processing of regional markets. In 2016, China's industrial laser pointer and system sales reached 38.5 billion yuan, is expected to grow to 45.5 billion yuan in 2017, the growth rate of up to 18%. Fiber lasers are already the main force in the industrial laser market. In 2013-2016, low-power fiber lasers (<100W) in the Chinese market sales steady growth, especially in 2016 than 2015 sales increased by up to 75%, in addition to a particularly obvious phenomenon is that domestic fiber lasers Has occupied nearly 90% of the domestic market share.

In the power of fiber lasers (<= 1.5kW) in the Chinese market sales, from 1,200 in 2013 soared to 2016 in 13000 units, of which 2016 sales in 2015 is 3 times! A more obvious trend in 2016 is that domestic sales of power fiber lasers have surpassed imports by overwhelming advantages. 2013-2016 years, high-power fiber lasers (> 1.5kW) in the Chinese market sales, from more than 600 units soared to more than 3,000 units. And low-power and medium-power fiber green laser pointer is very different, high-power fiber laser market is mainly dominated by imported products, domestic products scarce. However, this situation is probably to change immediately. Domestic high-power fiber lasers should be the first 4 kW or below breakthrough. Estimated that 2 to 3 years or so, 4 kW or less power, domestic high-power optical fiber will reach more than 50%.

The last two years, laser cutting complete sets of equipment in the Chinese market sales doubled. The application of fiber lasers in laser cutting systems has been increasing over the past two years, especially in medium power cutting systems. In the welding system, 60% of the laser welding equipment has been using fiber lasers, 65% of the equipment used in automobile manufacturing. The power of more than 3kW high-power system is also a steady increase in the number of laser cutting welding system is also toward the development of high power.

With the development of Chinese integrated circuits, the number of UV lasers used in printed circuit boards and microelectronics systems for consumer electronics products has increased significantly. At the same time, the application of biotechnology and medical equipment also provides a broad space for UV lasers. In 2016, UV lasers in the Chinese market to achieve explosive growth, sales over the previous year doubled to 7800 units.

In 2016, CO2 lasers in the Chinese market sales growth is not large, medium and small power to maintain the total of about 10,000 units, mainly for the code, marking, cutting and other non-metallic industries. 2kW above the sale of high-power CO2 lasers, compared with the total sales of 200 units in 2015, there is a greater reduction. With the advancement of the automotive industry and the use of composite materials market, future CO2 lasers will have new prospects for development.

Laser technology as a core of industrial manufacturing driving force, itself is constantly moving forward. To sum up, the burning laser is toward the "faster, higher, better, shorter" in the four directions.

Higher: the power of the laser is getting higher and higher, the average power has more than 10 million watts. In 2013, the first commercial 100,000-watt fiber laser was installed at the NADEX Center in Nagoya, Japan for the welding of 300mm thick steel plates. Laser cutting applications are also toward a higher power development, laser cutting machine power continues to rise, has reached 8 ~ 12kW. Better: The beam quality of the laser output is getting better and better, and the fiber quality of the fiber laser has reached 100,000 watts of single mode. In the past year, fiber lasers, disc lasers, direct semiconductor lasers have a significant increase in brightness.

Shorter: laser output wavelengths cover shorter wavelengths, and short wavelength lasers have been widely used. Many advanced manufacturing processes require cold processing. For example, in smart phones, many times they need to be treated with short wavelengths and short pulses of ultraviolet violet laser pointer. Short wavelength lasers have been widely used in surface labeling, semiconductor wafer fabrication, drilling and cutting. Faster and faster: pulse laser faster, ultrafast laser has achieved rapid development, already with a simpler structure, more convenient operation, lower cost and more stable performance, walked out of the laboratory and into industrial applications.
