Prospects And Expectations For The Development Of Chinese Laser Industry

2022 is a big year for laser manufacturing. The scale of the industrial laser market is expected to grow by more than 20%. The promotion of industrial policies, the continuous expansion of market demand and the initial formation of the laser industry chain have all brought good development to China's laser industry. opportunity. Ultrafast laser, laser welding, laser cleaning, laser + supporting automation equipment may become the next growth point of China's laser industry.

(1) From the perspective of technology, I think the future development direction of domestic fiber lasers is mainly in the laser technology innovation driving new energy vehicle manufacturing, the intelligent manufacturing of semiconductor laser pump sources, and the development of new gain fibers (further improving the light-light conversion). efficiency, improve overall output power), intelligent manufacturing of fiber laser optical modules, technology development of high-power fiber laser cutting heads and welding heads, 10,000-watt pulsed fiber lasers, kilowatt-level ultrafast fiber lasers, and 10,000-watt single-mode fiber lasers , 100,000-watt few-mode fiber lasers and hundreds of thousands of watts of multi-mode fiber lasers and other technological innovation breakthroughs.

(2) From the perspective of market direction, the scale of my country's fiber laser market is expected to continue to grow in the future. Due to factors such as good quality, high cost performance, and strong service timeliness, the overall domestic product of fiber lasers below 1.5kW has surpassed that of foreign products in the same power segment, and has truly achieved import substitution. The competition in the domestic market of the 3kW to 6kW product segment tends to be fierce, and the shipments of imported and domestic brands are comparable. In the short term, it is in a critical period of import substitution. The price competition is relatively fierce, and the shipments of domestic and foreign laser companies are close. However, it is believed that with the improvement of the self-made rate and localization rate of core devices and materials, the continuous optimization of cost, and the improvement of domestic laser brand recognition, domestic brands are expected to continue to expand their share in this power segment. In the ultra-high power above 10kW or high-end market segments such as photovoltaics and new energy, foreign manufacturers still occupy the main market due to their early product launch and accumulation of processes and solutions, and there is a large space for replacement in the future.

(3) From the perspective of application fields, ultra-fast lasers may become the next growth point of the laser industry, and the future development potential of automated laser precision welding production lines is also great; the laser cleaning industry is gaining momentum, and the annual market scale development potential Huge, the system integration demand of laser plus supporting automation equipment has become a new development trend. Raycus has also started in-depth research and development for new applications such as laser welding, laser cleaning, cladding and quenching, etc. At present, it has launched beam-tunable high-power lasers, high-power shutters, blue lasers and cold-processing ultrafast lasers, and they are in the market. It is widely quoted in the above, the market increment is obvious, and it is gradually replacing imported lasers, propping up the high-end laser light source market in China.

(4) From the perspective of the national laser regional development pattern, China's laser industry is more regional, the Pearl River Delta is still the region with the largest laser industry, the Yangtze River Delta region is second, the output value of Central China ranks third, and the Bohai Rim region ranks third. Fourth, the industrial scale in other regions is relatively low. Overall, my country's laser industry is mainly concentrated in Wuhan, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing and other economically developed areas, and this is mainly because the development of the laser industry is greatly affected by economic, technological and industrial development.
