Laser therapy is a medical procedure that employs concentrated light generated by a laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) to interact with body tissues, allowing for accurate surgical, therapeutic, or cosmetic treatments by directing energy precisely at the targeted site. This method is applied across a wide range of medical fields, including pain relief, tissue healing, dermatological treatments, eye surgeries, cancer therapy, and dental procedures, due to its effectiveness in enhancing recovery, decreasing inflammation, and limiting damage to adjacent tissues.
The primary categories of laser therapy include diode lasers, solid-state lasers, liquid lasers, semiconductor lasers, gas lasers, dye lasers, and others. In laser therapy, diode lasers refer to solid-state devices that use semiconductor materials to generate concentrated light energy, which is used for several therapeutic purposes such as alleviating pain, supporting tissue repair, and treating skin conditions. The therapies are delivered through either contact or non-contact modes and are used in various fields including dermatology and aesthetics, dentistry, ophthalmology, urology, cardiovascular care, and oncology. These treatments serve multiple end users such as hospitals, specialty clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others.
The laser therapy market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides laser therapy market statistics, including laser therapy industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a laser therapy market share, detailed laser therapy market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the laser therapy industry. This laser therapy market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The laser therapy market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.36 billion in 2024 to $4.68 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to the rising adoption of minimally invasive procedures, the increasing prevalence of chronic pain conditions, heightened awareness of aesthetic laser treatments, broader use of dental lasers, and a growing demand for sports injury management.
The laser therapy market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.14 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period is driven by factors such as the increasing elderly population with age-related health issues, the rising incidence of respiratory and pulmonary diseases, greater interest in photobiomodulation for immune modulation, expanding use in oncology, and a growing preference for non-pharmacological therapies. Key trends for the forecast period include the development of wearable and portable laser therapy devices, the integration of artificial intelligence in laser diagnostics, a shift toward personalized laser treatment plans, the growth of telemedicine-compatible laser solutions, and expanded research into laser therapy for systemic diseases.
The increasing demand for cosmetic surgeries is expected to drive the growth of the laser therapy market in the coming years. Cosmetic surgeries are elective procedures designed to enhance or alter a person's appearance, often involving reshaping facial features, body contouring, or skin rejuvenation to achieve aesthetic goals. The growing societal and media focus on physical appearance, combined with advancements in minimally invasive techniques and more affordable options, is fueling the demand for cosmetic surgeries. Laser therapy plays a significant role by enabling precise, minimally invasive procedures that promote faster healing, reduce scarring, and improve skin rejuvenation results. For example, data released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) in June 2024 showed that liposuction was the most popular plastic surgery in 2023, with nearly 350,000 procedures performed, a 7% increase from 2022. Hand surgeries reached 207,887, up 2%, and maxillofacial surgeries totaled 52,868, a 1% rise compared to the previous year. As such, the growing demand for cosmetic surgeries is contributing to the expansion of the laser therapy market.
Leading companies in the laser therapy market are focused on developing new products, such as automated non-contact laser therapy devices, to improve access to efficient, patient-friendly laser treatments. These devices are designed to deliver laser energy to targeted areas of the body without direct contact with the skin, using programmable settings and robotic or automated mechanisms to ensure consistent, hands-free application for therapeutic uses such as pain relief, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue regeneration. For example, in February 2025, Alcon, a Swiss ophthalmic surgical product company, introduced the Voyager Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) system in the U.S. for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. The system delivers highly precise laser pulses using proprietary eye-tracking technology, eliminating the need for a gonio lens and manual targeting. This innovation enhances clinical workflow, improves treatment accessibility, and positions laser therapy as a more viable first-line option for a wider range of patients.
In July 2024, Alcon acquired BELKIN Vision for $466 million, aiming to strengthen its glaucoma treatment offerings by incorporating Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) technology. This acquisition enhances Alcon's non-contact laser therapy options, improving patient access and clinical efficiency. BELKIN Vision, based in Israel, specializes in developing glaucoma laser devices.
