As of news on November 10th, media reports indicate that the global laser equipment market has reached approximately 21.8 billion US dollars in sales revenue. Among this, the Chinese laser equipment market contributes a 56.6% share, emerging as a crucial driver of the global laser industry.
Driven by the continuous investment in infrastructure construction, the demand for laser cutting equipment in the Middle East has grown significantly, with an annual growth rate exceeding 7%. In recent years, Chinese laser equipment, leveraging its stable performance and adaptability, has been widely adopted in workshops around the world, becoming a key tool in infrastructure development and industrial manufacturing.
From the perspective of export regions, Europe and Southeast Asia account for over 60% of China’s total laser cutting machine exports. Among these, the import volume of countries such as Germany, Vietnam, and India has seen particularly notable growth.
Boasting prominent advantages like high cutting efficiency and user-friendly operation, Chinese laser cutting products continue to attract global customers. Moreover, the mature matching of supporting equipment such as Sheet automatic loading robot has further enhanced the overall competitiveness of Chinese laser equipment solutions. This robot can realize automatic feeding and positioning of plates, seamlessly connecting with laser cutting equipment to form a highly automated production line, greatly reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency, which is highly recognized by overseas manufacturing enterprises. It is predicted that the global laser equipment market scale is expected to surpass 24 billion US dollars by 2025, with a growth rate exceeding 15%.
Currently, the localization rate of high-power lasers in China has exceeded 70%, and the market scale of Chinese laser equipment has steadily remained above half of the global total. In the first half of this year, the export value of laser welding machines and devices reached 12.67 billion yuan (RMB), while the export value of laser processing machine tools stood at 8.47 billion yuan (RMB). The export proportion of high-value-added intelligent products is significantly on the rise.
