Laser equipment is the use of laser processing tools, a wide variety of, mainly can be divided into laser marking machine, laser welding machine and laser cutting machine three categories. In recent years, laser processing technology with its high precision, fast speed, good processing effect and other advantages is gradually realizing the replacement of traditional processing technology, has become one of the high-tech vigorously supported and promoted in our country. With the upgrading of China’s economic structure to the advanced manufacturing industry, the demand for laser equipment in domestic new energy vehicles, ships, rail transit, machinery manufacturing, aerospace and other industries continues to grow, prompting the rapid growth of China’s laser equipment market. Data show that in 2024, China’s laser equipment market is generally stable and good, and the national laser equipment market sales revenue has increased from 65.8 billion yuan in 2019 to 91 billion yuan.
Industry overview
Laser equipment is the use of laser processing tools, a wide variety of, mainly can be divided into laser marking machine, laser welding machine and laser cutting machine three categories.
