Development status of laser welding market

Compared with traditional machining technology, laser welding technology has significant advantages. However, in the promotion of laser welding market applications in downstream industries, there is still a problem of insufficient penetration rate. Traditional manufacturing companies, due to the earlier launch of traditional production lines and mechanical equipment and an important role in corporate production, replacing more advanced laser welding production lines means huge capital investment, which is a big challenge for manufacturers .

At this stage, laser processing equipment is mainly concentrated in several important industry sectors where production capacity demand is strong and production expansion is obvious, such as the new energy vehicles and power batteries that have been strongly supported by the state in recent years, and related parts processing areas driven by the global consumer electronics boom Wait, the needs of other industries still need to be more effectively stimulated.

 Laser welding, laser cutting, and laser marking together constitute the "troika" of laser mechanics. In recent years, benefiting from the advancement of laser technology and the decline in laser prices, the downstream applications of laser welding equipment for new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, display panels, mobile phone consumer electronics and other fields have strong demand. Han's Laser, Huagong Technology, Thunder Laser, United Win Laser , Yifei Laser, etc. are in the laser welding market, with rapid growth in revenue, which has promoted the rapid growth of the domestic laser welding equipment market. According to the "2021 China Laser Industry Development Report" data, the market size of China's laser welding will reach 11.05 billion yuan in 2020, an increase of 9.1% compared to 2019.

From the perspective of the development of the entire laser welding market, due to the characteristics of regional and downstream discrete manufacturing companies, it is difficult for the laser welding market in the manufacturing sector to form a relatively concentrated competition pattern, and the entire market is relatively fragmented. At present, there are more than 300 domestic laser welding companies. The main laser welding companies include Han's Laser, Huagong Technology, Lianying Laser, and Chutian Laser.

Laser welding technology is a new type of processing technology that uses directional energy for non-contact processing. It is fundamentally different from traditional welding methods. It can be integrated with many other technologies and breed emerging technologies and industries, which will be able to replace traditional welding in more fields .

With the rapid advancement of social informatization, microelectronics related to information technology, as well as the integration of computers, communications, and consumer electronics, are booming, and they are embarking on the path of continuous miniaturization and integration of components. Under the background of this industry, realizing the preparation, connection, and packaging of micro-components, and ensuring the high precision and high reliability of the products are currently urgent problems that need to be overcome. As a result, high-efficiency, high-precision, low-damage welding technology is gradually becoming an indispensable part of supporting the development of contemporary advanced manufacturing.

In recent years, laser welding has gradually increased in the fields of fine and micro-processing such as power batteries, automobiles, consumer electronics, and advanced technology fields with highly complex components such as aero engines, rocket aircraft, and automobile engines. Laser welding equipment has ushered in new developments. Development Opportunities. Source of the above information: Veken Laser Net.
