The Development of Laser Technology and Downstream Application Markets

2025-09-30

In the wave of transformation and upgrading of modern manufacturing, laser technology, as one of the core supporting technologies, is driving the transformation of the global processing industry. The core competitiveness of laser processing technology stems from the continuous iteration of lasers. From the early low-power CO₂ lasers and solid-state lasers, to the mainstream fiber lasers today, to the emerging special lasers such as ultraviolet and green light, technological breakthroughs in core components continue to break performance boundaries. The single-module power of fiber lasers has achieved a significant jump, and the cutting capacity has been significantly enhanced. At the same time, the photoelectric conversion efficiency has continued to improve, effectively reducing the unit processing energy consumption. On the cost side, with the acceleration of the localization process of core materials, the price of medium and low-power lasers has dropped significantly, which has laid a solid foundation for the popularization of laser technology.

 

Technological upgrading has directly promoted the overall improvement of the performance of laser processing equipment: on the one hand, the range of machinable materials has gradually expanded from traditional sheet metal to special materials such as ceramics, glass, and composite materials, which can meet the special needs of high-end fields such as new energy, semiconductor, aerospace, etc. On the other hand, the range of machinable materials has gradually expanded from traditional sheet metal to special materials such as ceramics, glass, and composite materials.For example, in the manufacture of power batteries, laser welding technology can realize the high-precision connection between the pole ear and the pole piece, significantly improving the yield; On the other hand, the machining accuracy continues to break through, from the micron level to the submicron level, with the AI visual positioning system, the dimensional error of laser cutting can be controlled in a very small range, which provides strong support for the upgrading of precision parts manufacturing.

The technological dividend has been further transformed into the explosive growth of downstream markets, showing four clear trends: first, the application field continues to expand. In addition to the traditional automotive and machinery manufacturing fields, laser technology has rapidly penetrated into many emerging fields such as 3C electronics, medical care, and photovoltaic, and plays an important role in the production links of different industries; second, the customer base accelerates the expansion of capacity, and as the threshold for laser equipment procurement costs decreases, more and more small and medium-sized manufacturing companies have begun to introduce laser processing equipment, which has become a new driving force for market growth; third, the replacement of traditional processes is accelerated, and laser processing far exceeds traditional processes in efficiency, and there is no problem of consumable material pollution. The replacement rate of traditional processes in metal processing and other fields is constantly increasing; fourth, there is a strong demand for equipment upgrades. With the continuous improvement of product accuracy and production efficiency requirements in downstream industries, the renewal cycle of old laser equipment has gradually been shortened, and the scale of the upgrading market has continued to expand.

 

As a result, the scale of China's laser processing market has achieved sustained high growth. With the dual drive of technological iteration and downstream demand, it has become the world's largest laser equipment market and occupies an important position in the global laser industry pattern.

 

Feiying laser keeps up with industry trends and drives development with technological innovation and market expansion: in terms of green technology research and development, focusing on the direction of low energy consumption and no pollution, the new generation of fiber lasers developed significantly reduce energy consumption compared with traditional products, and adopt mercury-free light source design, in line with the European Union RoHS and many other international environmental protection standards, supporting laser cutting equipment can also realize the secondary use of energy through waste heat recovery systems to help customers effectively save energy costs; in terms of international layout, actively respond to the “Belt and Road” initiative, in response to the special environmental needs of emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East, customized laser equipment adapted to high temperature and humidity environments has been launched to continuously improve It accounts for the proportion of revenue in overseas markets, and has established long-term cooperation with auto parts manufacturers in many countries to help upgrade the local manufacturing industry. At the same time, through the construction of overseas technical service centers, localized response to equipment installation and maintenance will be realized, and contributions will be made to promote the globalization and coordinated development of the laser processing industry.
