Worldwide Ultrafast Laser Markets, 2019 to 2024 - Asia-Pacific to Shape the Future
DUBLIN, July 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --The "Ultrafast Lasers Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2019 - 2024)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global ultrafast lasers market was valued at USD 3.37 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach a value of USD 12.82 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 25.02%, during the forecast period (2019-2024).
In medical applications, Q-switched lasers are being replaced with ultrafast lasers. Also, some non-laser techniques, such as surgical scalpels and mechanical saws are being substituted owing to their similar practicality traits and easy-to-handle options.
Key Highlights
-- Industries have moved from laser cut technology to ultrafast laser
technology for the machining accuracy and thus enabling early time to
market. The improvement in process precision reduces the overall time
and operating cost for the production line, which is the primary reason
for the adoption of material processing applications.
-- With the government imposing regulations, including quality, to increase
the mileage and reduce the CO2 emissions, automobile manufacturers are
turning toward technological innovations in lasers to meet the targets
and stringent rules imposed by the government.
-- There is a learning curve associated with bringing laser technology in
house. For instance, the majority of drawbacks are related to the
learning curve involved in bringing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract
surgery in the house. More than the initial coursework, the professional
needs to set aside dedicated time to learning how to work with the laser
in his/her office. This includes everything from where to set up the
machine to how the support staff can best assist with the procedures.
Key Market Trends
Femtosecond & Picosecond Variant Gaining Market Share
-- Available in the femtosecond and picosecond variants, these lasers are
gaining traction in the medical equipment and military equipment
manufacturing. For instance, stents and catheters are being made with
ultrafast lasers.
-- In addition, mandates of laser marking for medical devices across the
regions is another reason for the increasing demand for ultrafast
lasers.
-- While femtosecond lasers are known for marking in the glass, which
allows the traceability of syringes and other glass devices, and other
volatile materials used in military equipment, picosecond lasers are
most used for laser marking on the steel metals surface. In addition,
these lasers are used for processing plastics for medical devices
(polymer processing).
Asia-Pacific to Shape the Future of the Ultrafast Lasers Market
-- Research-funding agencies have begun to invest mostly in new
collaborations and facilities in Asia-Pacific that employ ultrafast
lasers for broad areas of science.
-- Companies are collaborating in this region, which is creating huge
opportunity. For instance, in November 2018, STORMBEE made a strategic
partnership with NEOLASER SOLUTIONS to grow their presence in the Asia
Pacific market of Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam,
China, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand.
-- Symposiums like APAC Laser Symposium help to create awareness regarding
laser usage, thus attracting investors.
Competitive Landscape
Vendors in the market are involved in new product rollouts with significant R&D investments and partnerships that significantly boost the market growth. In addition to technological investments, companies also have acquisitions as their growth strategy. The market consists of laser/photonic giants, such as Coherent, Trumph, Jenoptik, Lumentum, among others.
-- March 2019 - Coherent Inc. significantly expanded its Gilching, Germany
micromachining and sub-system facility in Gilching, and completed the
relocation of the company's laser marking group from nearby Gunding.
This Center of Excellence, designated as Coherent Munich was an upgrade
to the organization's applications and R&D capabilities.
-- March 2019 - Trumpf's new disk laser TruDisk Pulse 421 generates laser
light in the green spectrum at 515 nanometers. It operates in the pulsed
mode at mean power of 400 watts and solves the problems found when using
infrared lasers to weld copper.
-- February 2019 - MKS, introduced Spectra-Physics IceFyre 355-30, a high
power, industrial UV picosecond hybrid fiber laser designed for
micromachining applications in high throughput manufacturing.
