By Product, the Continuous wave fiber laser segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024

The CW fiber laser segment holds the largest market share in the global fiber laser market, driven by their consistent output and extended operational duration. Continuous wave (CW) fiber lasers, a subset of diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers, utilize doped fiber optic cables as the gain medium instead of crystals. Neodymium, erbium, and other rare earth elements are commonly used as doping agents. These lasers are extensively employed in various industries such as laser radar, life sciences, material processing, microelectronics, scientific research, and mid-IR laser pumps due to their superior performance characteristics.

By Application, Material processing  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024

In the fiber laser market, material processing is the leading segment, accounting for a significant market share in 2023 and expected to remain dominant throughout the forecast period. This segment encompasses various applications such as cutting, welding, engraving, and marking of diverse materials. The material processing segment is further categorized into high power, marking, fine processing, and micro-processing. High power, which comprises cutting and welding applications, is the primary driver of the material processing market segment. This segment involves the processing of materials like steel, brass, aluminum, copper, glass, and plastics, which are extensively utilized in industries such as automotive for manufacturing components like door panels, seat backs, and vehicle body parts through laser welding.

North America is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024

The North American region dominated the global fiber laser market in 2022, accounting for the largest market share, and is anticipated to lead the market growth during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the presence of significant aerospace and defense firms in the US, including Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, Temporal Defense Systems, and Raytheon. These companies are investing heavily in various sectors to innovate and manufacture advanced weapons and defense systems. Notably, the US government's FY2023 military budget proposal, amounting to USD780 billion, represents a 5% increase compared to the previous year, indicating substantial investment in defense technology.
