Market Overview
Technology Innovations and Demands across Vertical Markets Drive Laser Diodes Market Growth
The world laser diodes market looks fragmented, yet competitive. With stiff competition from all participants alike, the market is well poised to encourage technology innovations and newer opportunities that look even more promising to end-users. Shifting demands for next-generation optical data storage formats and solid state laser pumping have propelled the laser diode market to make a big impact on the medium and long terms, according to the analyst of the study. However, increasing cost structures in a market where price sensitivity has a negative impact demands superior business knowledge and strategies.
High-power laser diodes are driving the industrial applications that cater to solid-state laser pumping, fiber laser pumping, and disk laser pumping. Adhering to lead-free directives, laser diodes have been found ideal as excitation source especially for solid-state YAG lasers. Laser diodes for solid state pumping have been the major contributors to the growth of laser diodes catering to high power applications. With increasing applications, higher growth is expected. Laser diodes in medical sector have grown significantly over the last few years, finding relevance in dental surgeries, skin-related therapies, tumor therapies, hair removal, and in ophthalmology.
Multiple Benefits of Laser Diodes Find Application in Varied Verticals
The advent of Blu-ray technology has given laser diodes an opportunity to serve the optical data storage markets that exhibit maturing growth. Favoring mass storage at superior formats, Blu-ray and high density digital versatile disk (HD DVD) technologies are expected to drive the 405 nm laser diodes in an appreciable manner, triggering product developments and performance enhancements in the blue-violet laser diode market. Shipped primarily for development and test purposes, these blue-violet lasers are expected to find appreciable increase in shipments with volume commercialization of these next-generation storage disks.
Ability to offer increased spatial brightness, wider operating temperature range, and higher efficiencies has enabled laser diodes to penetrate the defense markets. Direct laser diodes and laser diode arrays cater to applications that include range finding, target designation, anti-mine, missile defense, and other related applications. Studies reveal that increasing need for brighter and more efficient laser diodes for short and medium range defense has motivated companies to extend their research activities.
