Market Definition

The global Semiconductor Lasers Market size was valued at USD 7.12 billion in 2019 and is predicted to reach USD 14.53 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.7% from 2020-2030.

Semiconductor laser is a device that emits a concentrated monochromatic light, which causes laser oscillation by passing an electric current to semiconductor. Its applications are extremely widespread and include optical telecommunications, optical data storage, metrology, spectroscopy, material processing, and medical treatments. Semiconductor lasers are more efficient compared to the conventional lasers as they use active semiconductor materials for light amplification.

These lasers are small in size, require less power and are much more efficient than conventional lasers, which make them a smarter choice in the manufacturing of laser-based system. In telecommunication industry, semiconductor lasers are mostly used in fiber optic cables to enable fast and efficient communication. Semiconductor lasers also cost less than conventional lasers.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The increasing adoption of fiber optic lasers in telecommunication industry and the rising preference of semiconductor lasers over other light sources are driving the semiconductor lasers market globally. Also, increasing use of semiconductor lasers in defense and industrial sectors due to its small size, high efficiency, light weight and long-life span has led the global market to flourish. In addition, features like less distance attenuation resulting in extended reach and accurate pointing has boosted the overall market globally.

Moreover, increasing use of 3D printing in the architectural and healthcare sector is likely to augment the demand and popularity of semiconductor lasers. However, low packing tolerance, delicate design and low reliability are expected to inhibit the growth of semiconductor lasers market in the near future. On the contrary, the increasing requirement of semiconductor laser in medical sector and the growing demand of data storage capabilities is opening new opportunities for the market players.
