雷射加工市場 - 2024 年至 2029 年預測Laser Processing Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
預計到 2029 年,雷射加工市場的市場規模將從 2024 年的 15,223,000 美元增加到 19,959,084,000 美元,複合年成長率為 5.60%。
雷射加工涉及使用高強度光束來製造材料。在當前的「工業4.0」趨勢下,此類技術將廣泛應用於汽車、工業、醫療保健和航太等各個關鍵領域的複雜零件的製造。
隨著最終用戶的成長,奈米製造技術的快速成長預計將促進市場成長。同樣,此類技術增強了最佳功能,是推動工業應用需求的主要原因之一。然而,雷射加工系統較高的初始成本是市場成長的主要限制因素之一。其他障礙包括雷射無法切割厚金屬以及需要專業知識來操作雷射進行精密切割。
在預測期內推動雷射加工市場成長的關鍵因素之一是它提供了眾多性能優勢,例如精確的材料切割、易於客製化和高材料相容性,使其比傳統方法更偏好。由於其與性能相關的特性,該技術在小型化 IC 和半導體的加工中找到了用武之地,其需求正在創造智慧型手機等消費性電子產品的巨大繁榮。
雷射鑽孔還可以獲得大的深徑比。改進材料加工的積極努力,加上微電子的小型化,正在為市場擴張提供新的成長前景。
下一代創新產品的開發預計將簡化製造和工業流程,從而增加未來幾年對雷射加工產品的需求。例如,2023年9月,IPG Photonics在美國密西根州「電池展」上展示了全新創新的AMB(可調模式光束)雷射解決方案。這種雙束雷射器旨在擴展 IPG 的 AMB 系列並提高電池焊接速度。
同樣,策略合作也在加強工業雷射加工。例如,2024年2月,Cailabs與Precitec合作,將Former的先進光束整形模組整合到Precitec的雷射光束焊接頭中。這種合作關係滿足了電動車領域對無與倫比的高精度雷射焊接的需求。此類產品創新和策略合作預計將加速雷射加工市場的擴張。
雷射加工市場的地域展望
從地區來看,亞太地區佔很大佔有率,由於雷射加工在製造業的使用,預計將成長最快,尤其是在中國。國家統計局數據顯示,2023年11月製造業產出比去年同月成長6.9%,其中高技術製造業成長6.7%。此外,金屬切削工具機產量顯著成長21.3%。
此外,建築、醫療保健和電子產品等最終用戶在過去幾年中呈現積極成長,預計這將在未來幾年推動區域市場的成長。根據 PIB 2023 年 4 月的公告,印度電子製造業預計到 2025 年至 2026 年將達到 3,000 億美元,其中包括 LSME(大規模電子製造)的 PLI 計劃,該計劃正在促進該國電子產業的投資。
此外,亞洲是台灣、韓國、日本和中國等主要半導體和PCB製造國家的所在地,這些國家正在積極投資技術創新以提高整體產出。雷射加工是PCB和半導體應用中使用的關鍵技術之一,隨著投資的增加,此類技術的普及率預計也會增加。
雷射加工可對各種材料和零件進行無與倫比的精密切割。然而,採用此類技術需要大量投資。價格根據所使用的雷射類型和所使用的應用而有所不同。例如,在美國,一台瓦數雷射切割機的成本在4,000美元至15,000美元之間,一台光纖雷射切割機的成本在20,000美元至45,000美元之間。這些高成本可能是一個障礙,特別是對於較小的製造商和企業。
與傳統切割技術相比,雷射加工具有無數的性能優勢。然而,為了獲得材料的精確形狀,切割和焊接過程必須非常精確。此類機械的操作需要高度的技術專業知識,缺乏這些專業知識可能會阻礙市場的成長。
雷射加工市場的主要發展
The laser processing market is anticipated to reach a market size of US$19,959.084 million in 2029, with a CAGR of 5.60%, from US$15,200.233 million in 2024.
Laser processing involves using high-intensity light beams in material fabrication. In the ongoing "Industry 4.0" trend, such technology is highly applicable in various major sectors, such as automotive, industrial, healthcare, and aerospace, for complex parts manufacturing.
Bolstering growth in such end-users, followed by the rapid growth of nano-fabrication technology, is expected to contribute to the market growth. Likewise, such technology bolsters optimum functioning, one of the prominent reasons driving its demand in industrial applications. However, the high initial cost of laser processing systems is one of the major restraints for market growth. The inability of lasers to cut thick metals and the need for expertise to operate for precision cutting further act as obstacles.
One of the major factors driving the laser processing market growth during the forecast period is the large number of performance benefits such as precise material cutting, easy customization, and high material compatibility, which has increased their preference over traditional methods. Owing to its performance-related functioning, the technology is finding its way into processing miniaturized ICs and semiconductors, whose demand is witnessing a significant boom for consumer electronics such as smartphones.
Laser drilling can also obtain a large depth-diameter ratio. Favorable efforts to improve material processing, coupled with the miniaturization of microelectronics, have provided new growth prospects for market expansion.
Developing innovative and next-generation products is making manufacturing and industrial processes easy, which is anticipated to increase the demand for laser processing products in the coming years. For instance, in September 2023, IPG Photonics showcased its new innovative AMB (Adjustable Mode Beam) laser solutions at the "The Battery Show" held in Michigan, USA. The dual-beam laser aimed to expand IPG's AMB series and increase battery welding speed.
Likewise, strategic collaborations are also taking place to enhance industrial laser processing. For instance, in February 2024, Cailabs partnered with Precitec to integrate Former's advanced beam shaping module into Precitec's laser beam welding head. The collaboration will meet the demand for unparalleled precision laser welding in the e-mobility sector. Such product innovations and strategic collaboration are estimated to accelerate laser processing market expansion.
Laser Processing Market Geographical Outlook
Geography-wise, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to hold a significant market share and is projected to witness the fastest growth owing to the use of laser processing in the manufacturing sector, largely in China. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, in November 2023, manufacturing output witnessed an overall 6.9% Y-o-Y growth, in which high technology manufacturing experienced 6.7% Y-o-Y growth. The same source further stated that the output of metal-cutting machine tools witnessed a major growth of 21.3%.
Moreover, end-users such as construction, healthcare, and electronics have showcased positive growth over the years, which is projected to drive the regional market growth in the coming years. According to the PIB's April 2023 release, India's electronic manufacturing is expected to reach up to USD300 billion by 2025-2026, and favorable government schemes such as the PLI scheme for LSME (Large-Scale Electronics Manufacturing) are bolstering the country's investment in the electronics sector.
Additionally, Asia is home to major semiconductor and PCB manufacturing nations such as Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and China, which are actively investing in technological innovations to bolster their overall production output. Laser processing constitutes one of the major technologies used in PCB and semiconductor applications, and with the growing investments, the prevalence of such a technique is also expected to increase.
Laser processing provides unparalleled and precise cutting for various materials and components. However, such a technique requires a hefty amount to be invested for their employment. Price differs based on the type of lasers employed and the applications in which they will be used. For instance, the wattage laser cutting machine ranges between US$4,000 to US$15,000, whereas the fiber laser cutting machine can range between US$20,000 to US$45,000. Such high costs can become an obstacle, especially for small-scale manufacturers and firms.
Laser processing provides countless performance benefits over traditional cutting techniques. However, to achieve the precise shape of the material, the cutting or welding process needs to be done with great accuracy. Operating such machines requires a great degree of technical expertise, and the lack of it can hinder the market's growth.
