6.China's small and medium-power laser Cutting Equipment market size

According to "Industrial Laser Solutions" (ILS) statistics, in 2008 the world's laser processing equipment is about 6.36 billion US dollars; According to H & Q Consulting research, including small and medium-power laser Cutting Machine accounts for about 10% of the global market size of about $ 640 million. In 2009, affected by the global financial crisis, small and medium-power laser cutting machine industry growth will slow down significantly. After 2010 to restore growth, to 2012, is expected to global small and medium-sized laser cutting machine industry scale will reach 1.31 billion US dollars.

In China, small and medium-power laser processing equipment, laser cutting machine and marking machine occupies 80% market share, is the application of small and medium-power laser processing the most extensive processing equipment. In 2008 China's small and medium-sized laser cutting equipment market size of 402 million yuan in 2009 by the global financial crisis, China's small and medium-power laser cutting machine growth slowed this year in 2012, China's small and medium-sized laser cutting machine scale will reach 1.04 billion yuan RMB. Laser cutting machine as a new alternative to traditional tools face a broad market prospects.

7.Looking to the future

China's laser industry has a group of aggregation, mainly in five industrial zones: the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, Central China, Bohai Rim, and the emerging northeast industrial revitalization area. In addition, the western industrial belt will be formed.

Laser processing is the largest project in foreign laser applications, and is also an important means for the transformation of traditional industries, mainly kW to 10kW grade CO2 lasers, fiber lasers and hundreds of kilowatt to kilowatt YAG laser to achieve a variety of materials cutting. Since the early seventies of last century, laser cutting technology has been put into production applications, the pace of development is very fast, technology is maturing. It is estimated that the next five years, China's laser product market demand will exceed 60 billion yuan. At present, the industry is more developed countries to use this technology more widely. Laser cutting technology to get more use of the main reasons are: laser cutting with a small thermal deformation, high precision cutting, easy to achieve no automatic cutting. Through the use of improved high-power laser cutting machine with high-performance intelligent CNC system, cutting speed faster, higher thickness, better quality of the cutting edge, the laser processing technology, especially high-power laser processing technology A wide range of applications and development.

China's main laser products are moving from single to multi-species, for example, 5KW and 10KW cross-flow CO2 laser has been applied in the industry, 3KW, 4KW, 6KW CO2 axial lasers are available, semiconductor direct lasers to achieve 10KW power. In addition, the return of overseas students to make our vacancies in the laser industry is soon to be added, especially in the field of semiconductor lasers and fiber lasers.

The future trend of lasers is focused on semiconductor lasers, fiber lasers, and disc lasers. China has been at the forefront of semiconductor lasers, and fiber lasers, IPG remains a leading position. China should pay attention to disc laser research and development. With the localization of the laser gradually mature, gradually improve the quality, laser prices gradually reduced, we have reason to believe that the laser cutting equipment, the universal application of the era has not far off.
