Assessment of China's Market for Industrial Lasers
GCiS, March 2011, Pages: 187
GCiS Market Study Estimates China Industrial Lasers Market Worth Around RMB 11 Bn in 2010 – Market Expansion to Continue
The domestic industrial lasers market in China is valued at approximately RMB 11 Bn in revenues as of year-end 2010, according to a recently published GCiS study. This study focuses on domestic sales of three major types of lasers: solid state, gas and semiconductor. The market grew by approximately 25% in 2010. Improvements in user-friendliness, a growth in applications and increases in downstream industries such as photovoltaic manufacturing are driving this growth. Solid state lasers are the most widely sold technology. This is due to the large quantities of lower spec lasers that domestic suppliers are producing. Gas lasers are also prominently produced, with CO2 lasers making up the bulk of this supply.
But downstream overcapacity threatens to inhibit this growth. Lasers are beneficial in reducing batch downtimes. But where factories are 20-30% underutilized, there don't have the time and space constraints that justify spending the hundreds of thousands of RMB that a laser costs. Customers in China are also put off by these high price tags, especially as lasers have to compete against ultra cheap substitutes such as welding.
Nevertheless, lasers are helping local manufacturers by introducing higher quality and precision into value chain. One supplier interviewed by GCiS claimed that “we are entering a golden age for industrial lasers in China.”
This Limited Publication Study (LPS) provides an in-depth understanding of the market for industrial lasers in Mainland China, which are divided into four product categories: Solid state, gas, semiconductor and other (including dye). The report is based on a study of the production, sales, distribution and application of printing firms, publishers serving a multitude of other industries, food packing companies, papermaking, medical product packaging and cigarette packaging. Included is a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the market's size, trends, development, key participants and opportunities.
This report is comprised of data and analysis of the China Industrial Lasers market and presents a predominantly supply-side view in terms of market numbers. In addition to suppliers, primary research covers channel influencers, customers and end-users, and industry experts.
