Market Report Global Laser Cutting Machine Market

The market research report includes a detailed segmentation of the global laser cutting machine market by product type and by end-users.

Technavio’s research analyst predicts the global laser cutting machine market to grow steadily at a CAGR of close to 9 per cent until 2020. The market is expected to witness growth in revenues during the forecast period owing to the increasing use of these machines globally, and particularly in the APAC region.

Rapid industrialization in countries such as India and China along with other developing countries such as Brazil will further boost the demand for laser cutting machines over the next four years. Having found new application areas in the healthcare sector, laser cutting machines are being used for micro cutting applications. The other major application of laser cutting machines includes metal fabricators that make use of laser cutting machines to produce high-quality metal parts with less finishing works.

Product segmentation

• CO2 laser cutting

• Fiber laser cutting

• Solid state laser cutting

Technavio analyst predicts that the CO2 laser cutting market will account for the highest revenue during 2015, further to which it will gradually decline during the forecast period due to over-acceptance of technologically advanced fiber laser cutting machines.

Segmentation by end-user
