The global market for Laser Direct Imaging System (LDI) was estimated to be worth US$ 914 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1200 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Laser Direct Imaging System (LDI) cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
The Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) Equipment offers auto focus capabilities so that the system can handle different thicknesses of material and rapid job change-overs without expensive tooling. Using LDI to create the circuit traces gives the PCB manufacturers a lot of advantages, most of them pertaining to weaknesses of using a Photo-tool. Eliminating the need of a Photo-tool removes alignment issues, light refraction issues, and those imperfections related to environmental variations. Also, with LDI, PCB factories can achieve the development of images that require more precision, and resolution, due to the computer's enhanced optical alignment, that automatically compensates distortion on the materials. Changes to the required images, are also easier to achieve with LDI: with the traditional approach, the smallest mistake on the Photo-tool, required the factory to produce a new one, wasting time and money; however, with LDI, these changes became a matter of updating the design file, which can be done more consistently and cost-effectively.
Core driving factor
The demand for 5G and high-end PCBS: The demand for multi-layer and high-speed PCBS has driven the penetration rate of LDI in the mid-to-high-end manufacturing sector (currently over 60%).
Emerging application expansion: Accelerating the application of technologies in scenarios such as MiniLED, IC substrate, and precision processing of new energy vehicle batteries.
Policy support: China's special policies and tax incentives for intelligent manufacturing promote the process of domestic production.
Technological iteration direction
High precision and intelligence: The domestic production rate of optical systems has increased (currently about 50%), but high-power ultraviolet laser modules still rely on imports. Digital control technology continues to upgrade.
Multi-material compatibility: Extended to the processing of metals, ceramics and other materials, meeting the demands of aerospace, medical and other fields.
Competitive situation
International dominance: International enterprises such as Orbotech hold 81% of the global market share, while Chinese manufacturers like XGI Microelectronics and Han's CNC are accelerating their pursuit.
Domestic substitution space: China has a high dependence on imported high-end equipment, and domestic enterprises focus on breakthroughs in core components (such as Ruike Laser).
Industrial chain synergy
Upstream breakthrough: The localization of lasers and optical components is accelerating, but key modules still need to be imported.
Downstream demand differentiation: Semiconductor packaging and new energy batteries have become key investment areas.
Risks and Challenges
Risk of technological substitution: Traditional exposure processes still have cost advantages, while new display technologies may engage in cross-industry competition.
External uncertainties: Be vigilant about the risks of fluctuations in raw material prices, international trade barriers and technological blockades.
