Laser Cutting Machine Global Market Report 2026

Laser cutting is a technique employing a laser for cutting various materials, serving both industrial and artistic purposes, including etching. Laser cutting machines are employed for precise cutting and designing tasks across a diverse array of industries. These machines utilize a high-powered laser beam to achieve clean and precise cuts or carve specific designs onto materials such as steel, plastic, or wood. Primarily utilized in industrial manufacturing applications, laser cutting machines play a crucial role in achieving intricate and accurate results.

The primary technologies employed in the laser cutting machine market include solid-state, gas, and semiconductor technologies. Solid-state technology machines utilize a solid gain medium, typically ion-doped crystals or glasses, as opposed to a liquid. This type of laser cutting machine generates light at a significantly higher frequency. Laser cutting machines employ various processes, including fusion cutting, flame-cutting, sublimation cutting, laser processing configuration, laser cutting, and engraving configuration. These machines find extensive applications in industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, defense and aerospace, industrial, and various other end-user sectors.

Major companies in the laser cutting machine market are concentrating on developing advanced machines, such as 3D fiber laser cutting machines for steel processing, to gain a competitive advantage. A 3D fiber laser cutting machine is a precision tool that uses a fiber laser oscillator to cut various materials. For instance, in April 2025, Bystronic, a Switzerland-based machine tool manufacturer, launched the ByTube Star 330, a versatile 3D fiber laser cutting machine for tubes and structural profiles. Equipped with a high-power 6 kW or 10 kW fiber laser source, it ensures high productivity and precision when cutting a wide range of materials, including steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. The machine supports processing round tubes, square/rectangular profiles, and open profiles ranging from 19 mm to 305 mm in diameter with minimal manual setup. It also offers automated feeding, sorting, and optional operations such as drilling and bevel cutting, enabling efficient processing of multiple profile types with a single unit.

In August 2024, WEC Group, a UK-based provider of fabrication, contract-manufacturing, and metal-processing services, acquired Laser Profiles Ltd for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, WEC Group aimed to enhance its laser-cutting and metal-fabrication capabilities in the southern UK and expand its service offerings for sheet, tube, and profile cutting across various industrial sectors. Laser Profiles Ltd is a UK-based provider of precision laser-cutting and metal-fabrication services, operating advanced fiber-laser sheet and tube cutting machines, CNC machines, and finishing equipment.
