Laser stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (LASER). A laser technology device produces a beam of light, which is coherent, monochromatic, and aligned. Laser technology offers various benefits - such as greater speed, higher accuracy, and lesser cost - over traditional methods, which are expanding this technology's application across various verticals.

Currently, the laser technology market is in the growth stage. The growth of the laser technology market is driven by factors such as huge demand from the healthcare vertical and enhanced performance over traditional materials processing techniques.

Laser technology provides various benefits over traditional materials processing, such as higher accuracy, lower labor cost, and lesser loss of material. For instance, laser displacement sensors can measure a larger area than capacitive or inductive distance sensors. The shift toward the production of nano and micro devices would further boost the growth of the laser technology market. Whereas, regulatory compliances could inhibit the market's growth; the requirement for low-cost solution is a major challenge for the market.

APAC held ~33% (largest share) of the laser technology market in 2017. The market in APAC was valued at USD 4.02 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 5.95 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 5.35% from 2018 to 2024. China, India, South Korea, and Japan are the major contributors to the growth of the laser technology market in APAC. Continuous demand for cost-effective and fast processing laser machine tools from semiconductor, automotive, industrial, and telecommunications verticals are expected to drive the growth of the laser technology market in APAC.

The laser technology market in North America was valued at USD 3.51 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 4.88 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 4.40% from 2018 to 2024. The US, Canada, and Mexico are the major contributors to the growth of the laser technology market in North America. North America is one of the most technologically advanced regions and is a huge market for laser technology devices because of the presence of prominent system suppliers, large semiconductor companies, and automotive manufacturers. North America is a pivotal region for the growth of laser technology in industrial, automotive, telecommunications, and semiconductor verticals.
