An industrial laser system is a device that stimulates atoms or molecules to emit light at specific wavelengths, amplifying that light to produce a narrow beam of radiation. Industrial laser systems are used for cutting metals and fabrics, marking tracking codes for industrial traceability, welding metals, cleaning metal surfaces, altering surface roughness, and measuring part dimensions.
The primary types of lasers in industrial laser systems are fiber, solid-state, CO2, and others. Fiber lasers use an optical fiber cable with a doped fiber made of silica glass as a gain medium. Macro processing and micro processing with power ranges less than 1 kW and more than 1.1 kW find applications in cutting, welding, marking, drilling, and other industries such as semiconductors and electronics, automotive, aerospace and defense, medical, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the industrial laser system market by increasing the cost of imported optical components, laser sources, power electronics, and precision control systems. Automotive, electronics, and aerospace industries in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported laser equipment, while Asia-Pacific suppliers face export constraints. These tariffs raise system costs and slow upgrades. However, they are also encouraging local assembly, regional supply chains, and innovation in compact and efficient laser systems.

The industrial laser system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $27.68 billion in 2025 to $30.12 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of metal fabrication, demand for precision machining, automotive manufacturing growth, adoption of automation tools, industrial productivity focus.
The industrial laser system market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.94 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electric vehicle production growth, semiconductor manufacturing expansion, adoption of AI-enabled laser systems, demand for energy-efficient processing, smart factory investments. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of high-power fiber lasers, growth of precision manufacturing, expansion of laser-based welding and cutting, integration of smart laser systems, rising demand for non-contact processing.
The growing trend of automation in industries is expected to drive the growth of the industrial laser system market going forward. Automation involves using technology to reduce human intervention in processes, increasing the need for high-precision industrial laser systems across various applications. Automated laser systems integrate vision and motion technologies to deliver accurate, high-quality results. The adoption of industrial laser systems is rising as industries seek improved productivity, efficiency, and precision. For instance, in December 2023, according to Formstack, a US-based software company, 76% of organizations use automation to streamline daily workflows, 58% automate data and reporting for planning purposes, and 36% leverage automation for regulatory compliance. Therefore, the increasing trend of industrial automation is propelling demand for industrial laser systems.
Major companies in the industrial laser systems market are developing advanced technologies such as femtosecond laser fiber inscription grating technology, which enables high-precision manufacturing and enhanced performance in various applications. Femtosecond laser fiber inscription grating technology uses ultrashort laser pulses (femtoseconds) to create precise patterns and structures within optical fibers, improving performance for applications such as telecommunications and sensing. For example, in August 2024, BWT Beijing Ltd., a China-based manufacturer of high-performance diode laser components and subsystems, launched the Thunder 200kW ultra-high-power industrial-grade fiber laser. This laser incorporates technologies such as Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) chip integration, femtosecond laser fiber inscription grating, and ultra-high-power beam delivery to enable processing of ultra-thick metal plates, supporting modernization and transformation of traditional manufacturing practices.
In December 2024, IPG Photonics Corporation, a US-based photonics and laser technology company, acquired Clean-Lasersysteme GmbH (cleanLASER) for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, IPG aims to strengthen its global position in industrial laser cleaning by integrating cleanLASER's technology, expanding market reach, and offering comprehensive, environmentally sustainable solutions across multiple industries. Clean-Lasersysteme GmbH is a Germany-based company that provides laser cleaning systems for automotive, industrial, aerospace, medical, food, and other applications, with an installed base of approximately 2,000 systems worldwide.
