Recently, with continuous technological breakthroughs and evolving market demands, my country's laser equipment industry has witnessed several significant advancements. Key breakthroughs have been achieved in core technologies such as ultrafast lasers and blue lasers, and application scenarios are further expanding into high-end manufacturing, healthcare, consumer electronics, and other fields. The industry is transitioning from price competition to high-quality development, and the process of domestic substitution continues to accelerate.

In terms of technological innovation, the various new laser equipment products recently unveiled exhibit a clear iterative trajectory. Ultrafast lasers are continuously evolving towards higher power, narrower pulse widths, and higher single-pulse energy. Some products have pulse widths controlled below 200 femtoseconds and average power reaching the hundred-watt level, meeting the extremely high requirements for beam quality and pulse energy in high-end applications such as semiconductor through-hole processing, photovoltaic grooving, and precision manufacturing. Blue lasers, on the other hand, have moved from laboratory verification to large-scale industrial applications. Many new products have achieved improvements in power and electro-optical conversion efficiency. One multimode blue laser boasts an electro-optical conversion efficiency of up to 48%, while another multi-core packaged product achieves 42W output, widely adaptable to diverse scenarios such as marking, cutting, and projection displays. Meanwhile, breakthroughs have been achieved domestically in the core technology of disc lasers, which had long been monopolized by foreign companies. This has propelled the precision machining field from traditional thermal processing to high-precision machining, and its applications have already been realized in high-end fields such as semiconductors and military industries.

Market data shows that my country's laser equipment industry continues to expand, with market sales revenue reaching 95.8 billion yuan in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 6.8%, accounting for 58% of the global market. The growth rate is projected to remain around 7% in 2026. Among them, laser welding equipment performed exceptionally well, with sales revenue reaching 21.25 billion yuan in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 29.3%. It is expected to surpass the cutting market to become a core sub-segment within the next three years. The localization rate of high-power lasers continues to improve, with the localization rate of products above 10kW approaching 80%. A complete industrial chain has been formed from core components to complete machine manufacturing, and the independent and controllable technology system is gradually being improved.

The continuous expansion of application scenarios has become an important engine for industry growth. In the industrial sector, laser equipment has been widely applied in new energy battery processing, automotive body welding, and bridge steel welding, with some high-power products achieving large-scale application due to their stable performance. In the medical field, the world's first 30W blue laser surgical device has been put into clinical use, successfully applied to the treatment of urinary tract diseases due to its advantages such as fast vaporization speed, good hemostasis, and minimal tissue thermal damage. Future applications are planned for gastroenterology, gynecology, and other fields. In the consumer market, lightweight laser equipment is rapidly emerging, with some products reducing size, volume, and weight by 50%-70% compared to conventional industrial products, significantly lowering integration and usage costs and making them suitable for civilian applications such as jewelry processing and desktop engraving.

Industry insiders indicate that the laser industry is currently undergoing rapid consolidation, with leading companies dominating the market due to their technological advantages. The top ten companies collectively hold over 50% of the market share. In the future, the industry will continue to focus on AI and optoelectronic integration, high-power laser technology upgrades, and consumer product innovation, further breaking through core technological bottlenecks and promoting the intelligent, modular, and diversified upgrading of laser equipment. Simultaneously, it will accelerate the pace of domestic substitution, driving my country's transformation from a major laser equipment producer to an industrial powerhouse.
