Laser Processing Market Size, Share & Trends, 2025 To 2030

The study used four major activities to estimate the market size of laser processing. Exhaustive secondary research was conducted to gather information on the market and its peer and parent markets. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the total market size. Finally, market breakdown and data triangulation methods were utilized to estimate the market size for different segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the size of the laser processing market began with the acquisition of data related to the revenues of key vendors in the market through secondary research. Various secondary sources have been referred to in the secondary research process to identify and collect information for this study. Secondary sources include annual reports, press releases, and investor presentations of companies; white papers, journals, certified publications, and articles by recognized authors; websites; directories; and databases. Secondary research has mainly been used to obtain key information about the value chain of the laser processing market, key players, market classification, and segmentation according to the industry trends to the bottom-most level, geographic markets, and key developments from both market and technology-oriented perspectives. The secondary research referred to for this research study involves various journals like Springer Nature Limited, Laser Focus World, Spectrum Plastics Group, Journal of Laser Applications, and various other sources. Moreover, the study involved extensive use of secondary sources, directories, and databases, such as Hoovers, Bloomberg Businessweek, and Factiva, to identify and collect valuable information for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the laser processing market.

Primary Research

In the primary research process, various primary sources from both the supply and demand sides have been interviewed to obtain the qualitative and quantitative information relevant to this report. Primary sources from the supply side include key industry participants, subject-matter experts (SMEs), and C-level executives and consultants from various key companies and organizations in the laser processing ecosystem. After the complete market engineering (including calculations for the market statistics, the market breakdown, the market size estimations, the market forecasting, and the data triangulation), extensive primary research has been conducted to verify and validate the critical market numbers obtained. Several primary interviews have been conducted with market experts from the demand and supply-side players across key regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World (Middle East, Africa, and South America).

Primary data has been collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. In the canvassing of primaries, various departments within organizations, such as sales, operations, and administration, were covered to provide a holistic viewpoint in our report. This and the in-house subject matter experts’ opinions have led us to the findings described in the remainder of this report.

Note: The three tiers of the companies are defined based on their total revenue in 2024: Tier 1 - revenue greater than or equal to USD 1 billion; Tier 2 - revenue between USD 100 million and USD 1 billion; and Tier 3 revenue less than or equal to USD 100 million. Other designations include sales managers, marketing managers, and product managers.

Market Size Estimation

Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were utilized to estimate and validate the size of the laser processing market and its submarkets. Secondary research was conducted to identify the key players in the market, and primary and secondary research was used to determine their market share in specific regions. The entire process involved studying top players' annual and financial reports and conducting extensive interviews with industry leaders such as CEOs, VPs, directors, and marketing executives. Secondary sources were used to determine all percentage shares and breakdowns, which were verified through primary sources. All parameters that could impact the markets covered in this research study were accounted for, analyzed in detail, verified through primary research, and consolidated to obtain the final quantitative and qualitative data.
