The laser marking market is estimated to grow from USD 2.9 billion in 2022 to reach USD 4.1 billion by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2022 to 2027. The growth of the laser marking market can be attributed to higher performance of laser markers over traditional material marking techniques.
Laser engraving is seeing a rapid rise in use cases for the technology in the industrial segment. One of the bigger segments is identification security, where laser engraving is ideal for credit cards, ID cards, sensitive documents, and other items requiring increased safety measures. Laser engraving is also being used for multiple new applications such as woodworking, metalworking, digital and retail signage, model-making, apparel shops, fabric shops, gadgets, and sports equipment.
Laser marking market for QR codes is expected to hold the largest share during the forecast period. QR codes are used across different industries, such as construction, packaging, medical, automotive, and semiconductor. With specialized laser marking software, laser marking systems can directly mark QR Codes onto products made of almost any material. With the explosion of Smartphones, QR codes are becoming more commonplace and are scannable by a growing portion of the population. QR codes are becoming a standard for product identification. The QR code can link to a URL address such as a Facebook page, YouTube channel, or company website. With recent advancements, 3D codes have come into the picture, requiring 3-axis laser marking machines for marking uneven surfaces or hollow or cylindrical surfaces.
