Five major trends in future fiber laser market

Recently, foreign analyst agencies released the "2014-2018 Global Fiber Laser Market Development Trend Analysis" and "2009-2019 Global and China Fiber Laser Industry Market Research Report." The successful R&D of Lockheed Martin’s latest 30,000-Watt laser weapon also cannot be separated from the emergence and significant development of fiber laser technology. Fiber lasers are lasers that use rare-earth-doped glass fibers as the gain medium. Fiber lasers can be developed on the basis of fiber amplifiers. Unlike conventional gas lasers, fiber lasers use fiber optics as resonant cavities in laser beam formation.

In the next few years, the research institute puts forward five trends in the fiber laser market: gradual increase of suppliers' R&D costs, increased win-win cooperation among suppliers, rapid progress in technology, development of environmentally friendly technologies, and continuous productivity of suppliers. improve.

Global fiber laser suppliers such as IPG have previously set up a research and development department to expand their own product lines. In the future, in the fiber laser industry, major manufacturers will increase investment in technology research and development to enhance product features to meet growing customer demand. From the perspective of returns, investment in R&D will increase the market share of the product and at the same time it will also help form or maintain its own market competitive advantage.

The win-win cooperation between suppliers will become another trend in the industry in the future. Commercial cooperation aims to increase market share while gaining maximum market interest. Through strategic alliances, it can also promote the development of their own technological exchanges.

The continuous application of fiber lasers in the industry has benefited from the continuous development of technologies, mainly in terms of cost, energy consumption and space. Compared to its alternative technologies, fiber laser technology is becoming more and more mature, especially in terms of energy saving.

Compared to other technologies, fiber lasers will produce less carbon dioxide at the same time with higher transmission performance. The reduction of energy consumption, waste reduction, and the use of non-hazardous materials will all increase the popularity of fiber laser technology in the laser field.

In view of the increasing recognition of fiber laser technology in the world, suppliers are tending to increase product production and increase their respective productivity. For example, in 2012, IPG invested $68.20 million to increase production.

The research report of the research institute involved many manufacturers who investigated the fiber laser market. For example, more than 30 laser companies such as American Coherent, Lipo, German IPG, Lofin Laser, and TRUMPF.
