Overview of laser industry development in the next five years

According to the "2014-2018 China Laser Industry Market Outlook and Investment Strategic Planning Analysis Report", lasers are a new light source in the 1960s, with good directionality, high brightness, good monochromaticity and high energy density. The laser industry based on lasers is developing rapidly in the world, and is now widely used in industrial production, communications, information processing, medical and health, military, cultural education, and scientific research. According to statistics, from high-end optical fibers to common barcode scanners, the market value of laser-related products and services is as high as trillions of dollars each year.
The laser industry has formed a complete and mature industrial chain distribution. The upstream mainly includes laser materials and supporting components, the midstream is mainly various lasers and their supporting equipment, and the downstream is mainly laser application products, consumer products, instruments and equipment. At present, the domestic laser market is mainly divided into laser processing equipment, optical communication devices and equipment, laser measuring equipment, lasers, laser medical equipment, laser components, etc. Its products are mainly used in industrial processing and optical communication markets, and both occupy nearly 7 Market space. According to statistics, there are more than 200 laser-related companies in China, mainly located in economically developed provinces and cities such as Hubei, Beijing, Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Guangdong. The annual sales of these regions account for about 90% of the total laser product market in the country. Four major laser industry clusters are formed in Central China, Bohai Rim, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta with the above-mentioned provinces and cities as the main body. In the future, the development of domestic laser industry will also be more concentrated. The laser industry research group of the Foresight Industry Research Institute predicts that with the advancement of laser technology, China’s laser industry will develop rapidly. In the next five years, driven by related industries, China’s laser market will develop at a rate of about 20%. By 2015, China's laser application field will form a laser industry group with laser processing, laser communication, laser medical treatment, laser display, laser holography, etc., and the industry has a promising future.
