Laser cutting machine will gradually replace the punch market space is very large
The products of China’s laser processing industry mainly include all kinds of laser marking machine, welding machine, cutting machine, dicing machine, engraving machine, heat treatment machine, three-dimensional molding machine and wool machine, etc., which occupy a large market share in China. Punch in the international market has been gradually replaced by laser, and China’s punch and laser cutting machine coexist, but with the continuous application of laser technology in the manufacturing industry, laser cutting machine will gradually replace the punch, so the analysis that the laser cutting equipment market space is very large.
In the field of laser processing equipment, laser cutting is the most important application technology, which has been widely used in shipbuilding, automobile, rolling stock manufacturing, aviation, chemical industry, light industry, electrical and electronic, petroleum and metallurgy and other industrial sectors. Take Japan as an example: in 1985, the annual sales volume of new punching machines in Japan was about 900, while the sales volume of laser cutting machines was only 100, but in 2005, the sales volume soared to 950, while the annual sales volume of punching machines dropped to about 500.
According to the “2015-2020 China Laser Industry Market Outlook and Investment Strategic Planning Analysis Report” data released by the Prospective Industry Research Institute, the scale of laser cutting equipment in China has maintained steady growth from 2008 to 2014. In 2008, China’s laser cutting equipment market size is only 0.507 billion yuan, to 2012 growth of more than 100. In 2014, the market size of laser cutting equipment in China was 1.235 billion billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 8%.

According to statistics, by 2009, the global total number of high-power laser cutting equipment is about 35000 units, which may be higher at present, while the current number of high-power laser cutting equipment in China is estimated at 2500-3000 units. It is expected that by the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan”, the market demand for high-power CNC laser cutting machines in China will reach more than 10000 units. According to the price 1.5 million of each unit, the market size will be more than 15 billion yuan. For China’s current manufacturing equivalent, the future penetration of high-power cutting equipment will increase significantly.
Combined with the growth rate of the market scale of laser cutting equipment in China in recent years, as well as the demand prospect of laser cutting equipment in China, the prospective industry research institute predicts that the market scale of laser cutting equipment in China will still maintain a steady growth trend. It is estimated that by 2020, the market size of laser cutting equipment in China will reach 1.9 billion billion yuan.
Since the laser cutting process is limited by the laser power and intensity, most modern laser cutting machines are required to assemble lasers that can provide beam parameter values close to the best value of technology. High-power laser technology represents the highest level of laser application technology. Compared with developed countries in Europe and America, the amount of high-power laser cutting equipment in China is very different, it is foreseeable that in the future, the demand for high-end high-power CNC laser cutting machines characterized by high cutting speed, high precision and large cutting width will show a substantial increase.
