The laser cutting machine will catch up with the punching machine, the market space is large

The products of my country's laser processing industry mainly include various types of laser marking machines, welding machines, cutting machines, dicing machines, engraving machines, heat treatment machines, three-dimensional forming machines and texturing machines, etc., occupying a large market share in the country. Punching machines in the international market have been gradually replaced by lasers, and my country's punching machines and laser cutting machines coexist, but with the continuous application of laser technology in the manufacturing industry, laser cutting machines will gradually replace punches, so the analysis believes that the market space for laser cutting equipment is very large.

In the laser processing equipment market, laser cutting is the most important application technology, which has been widely used in shipbuilding, automobiles, rolling stock manufacturing, aviation, chemical, light industry, electrical and electronic, petroleum and metallurgical industries.

   Take Japan as an example: in 1985, the annual sales of new punches in Japan was about 900 units, while the sales of laser cutting machines were only 100 units, but by 2005 the sales soared to 950 units, and the annual sales number of punches dropped to about 500 units. . According to relevant data, from 2008 to 2014, the scale of my country's laser cutting equipment maintained a steady growth.

   In 2008, the market size of my country's laser cutting equipment was only 507 million yuan, and by 2012 it increased by more than 100%. In 2014, the market size of my country's laser cutting equipment was 1.235 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 8%.

   2007-2014 China's laser cutting equipment market scale trend chart (unit: 100 million yuan, %) According to statistics, by 2009, the global cumulative possession of high-power laser cutting equipment was about 35,000 units, which may be higher at present; while my country's current holdings It is estimated at 2500-3000 units. It is estimated that by the end of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, the market demand for high-power CNC laser cutting machines in my country will reach more than 10,000 units. Based on the price of 1.5 million units, the market size will exceed 1.5 billion units. For China's current manufacturing equivalent, the future penetration rate of high-power cutting equipment will increase substantially.

Combining with the market growth rate of my country's laser cutting equipment in recent years and the demand prospects of my country's laser cutting equipment, according to Han's Laser forecasts, the market size of my country's laser cutting equipment is still growing steadily. It is estimated that by 2020, my country's laser cutting equipment market will reach 1.9 billion yuan.

    Since the laser cutting process is limited by laser power and intensity, most modern laser cutting machines require the assembly of lasers that can provide beam parameter values close to the technological best value. High-power laser technology represents the highest level of laser application technology. Compared with the developed countries in Europe and the United States, the amount of high-power laser cutting equipment in my country is greatly different. It is foreseeable that the demand for high-end high-power CNC laser cutting machines featuring high cutting speed, high precision and large cutting format in my country will show a substantial increase in the future. The situation.
