Laser Therapy Market Report 2026

The laser therapy market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.64 billion in 2025 to $4.96 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of chronic pain conditions, growing adoption of minimally invasive surgeries, rising demand for dermatological procedures, expansion of dental and ophthalmic laser use, technological advancements in laser devices.

The laser therapy market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.47 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for non-invasive therapeutic solutions, advancements in laser precision and control systems, increasing investment in healthcare infrastructure, rising awareness of laser-based treatments, expansion of ambulatory surgical centers. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of minimally invasive laser procedures, expansion of laser applications across medical specialties, growing demand for aesthetic and cosmetic laser treatments, increasing use of laser therapy in pain management, advancements in precision and safety of laser systems.

The increasing demand for cosmetic surgeries is anticipated to drive the growth of the laser therapy market in the coming years. Cosmetic surgeries are elective procedures designed to enhance or modify an individual’s appearance, often involving facial feature reshaping, body contouring, or skin rejuvenation to achieve aesthetic objectives. A growing societal and media-driven emphasis on physical appearance, along with advancements in minimally invasive techniques and improved affordability, is boosting the demand for cosmetic surgeries. Laser therapy supports cosmetic surgeries by enabling precise, minimally invasive procedures with faster recovery, reduced scarring, and enhanced skin rejuvenation results. For example, in June 2024, data published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), a US-based organization, showed that liposuction was the most performed plastic surgery in 2023, with nearly 350,000 procedures, marking a 7% increase from 2022, while hand surgeries totaled 207,887, up 2%, and maxillofacial surgeries reached 52,868, a 1% rise compared to the previous year. Thus, the growing demand for cosmetic surgeries is driving the expansion of the laser therapy market.

Major companies in the laser therapy market are concentrating on developing innovative products such as automated non-contact laser therapy devices to improve access to efficient and patient-friendly laser-based treatment solutions. Automated non-contact laser therapy devices are medical systems designed to deliver laser energy to specific areas of the body without direct skin contact, using programmable settings and robotic or automated mechanisms to provide consistent, hands-free application for therapeutic purposes, including pain management, inflammation reduction, and tissue regeneration. For example, in February 2025, Alcon, a Switzerland-based ophthalmic surgical products company, introduced Voyager Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) in the United States for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. The system delivers laser pulses with high precision through proprietary eye-tracking technology, removing the need for a gonio lens and manual targeting. This innovation streamlines clinical workflow, improves treatment accessibility, and positions laser therapy as a more feasible first-line option for a wider range of patients.

In July 2024, Alcon, a Switzerland-based ophthalmic surgical products company, acquired BELKIN Vision for $466 million. This acquisition is intended to expand Alcon’s glaucoma treatment portfolio by incorporating Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) technology, thereby enhancing first-line, non-contact laser therapy options for better patient access and clinical efficiency. BELKIN Vision is an Israel-based medical device company specializing in glaucoma laser solutions.

Laser therapy is a medical treatment that employs focused light from a laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) to interact with tissues, allowing precise surgical, therapeutic, or cosmetic procedures by concentrating energy on targeted areas. It finds use in a variety of applications, including pain management, tissue repair, dermatological treatments, ophthalmic surgeries, cancer therapies, and dental care, due to its ability to enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and minimize damage to surrounding tissues.

The main types of laser therapy include diode lasers, solid-state lasers, liquid lasers, semiconductor lasers, gas lasers, dye lasers, and others. Diode lasers in laser therapy are solid-state lasers that utilize semiconductor materials to generate focused light energy, applied in various therapeutic uses such as pain relief, tissue regeneration, and skin treatments. These therapies are delivered through contact and non-contact modes, used in fields such as dermatology and aesthetics, dentistry, ophthalmology, urology, cardiovascular treatments, and oncology, serving end users like hospitals, specialized clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others.
