Key findings from the report highlight several factors driving the growth of the semiconductor laser market. The proliferation of smart connected devices has significantly accelerated the demand for semiconductor lasers. Electronic device manufacturers' increasing investments in smart connected devices further fuel this growth. Notably, Samsung Electronics Ltd. initiated a US$200 million investment in March 2022 to establish a new manufacturing plant in India, reflecting the industry's confidence in this market segment.
The semiconductor laser market also benefits from increasing development and use across high-end applications. Laser diodes have been widely adopted in the manufacturing of optical communication devices and high-performance components in computing systems. Their low power consumption, cost-effectiveness, and ability to speed up optical device manufacturing have contributed to their growing demand. For instance, in October 2021, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation launched new electro absorption modulator laser diode chips for applications such as Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM). These advancements and the adoption of laser technologies are expected to drive the growth of the global semiconductor laser market.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the manufacturing sector worldwide, including the semiconductor laser market. The imposed lockdown restrictions led to a decline in manufacturing activities, affecting sales of secondary products necessary for manufacturing. Nevertheless, post-2020, the market experienced a steady upward trend, with a critical spike in demand among industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, and communication sectors. Growing investments in data centers and the re-establishment of data centers by technology companies provided significant opportunities for semiconductor lasers.
The semiconductor laser market faces challenges such as high initial investments and technical limitations. The manufacturing of semiconductor lasers requires substantial investment and advanced technological expertise. Additionally, the market's competitiveness can result in pricing pressures and lower profit margins for industry players. Moreover, the physical properties of semiconductor lasers, including power output and wavelength, limit their development. Overcoming these challenges to develop high-efficiency, high-power lasers with smaller form factors and lower costs remains a roadblock for the industry.
Regionally, the Asia Pacific is expected to account for the majority revenue share in the semiconductor laser market. Developing nations in this region, including China, India, and Japan, showcase high-growth potential due to their growing manufacturing sectors and rapid industrialization. Favorable government initiatives, such as China's 'Made in China 2025' initiative and India's projection of significant growth in the manufacturing sector, further support the market's growth in the Asia Pacific.
The competitive landscape of the semiconductor laser market includes major players such as OSRAM Licht AG, Mitsubishi Electric, Sharp Corporation, Hans Laser Technology Industry Group Co. Ltd., ASML Holding NV, IPG Photonics Corporation, Coherent Inc., Newport Corporation, Panasonic Corporation, and Nichia Corporation. To gain a competitive edge, these players focus on new product launches, partnerships, collaborations, acquisitions, and alliances.
Recent developments in the market include Ushio's introduction of red color laser diodes for biomedical applications, MKS Instruments' acquisition of Atotech Limited to strengthen its position in the market, Lumentum Inc.'s launch of the Femto-blade laser system offering high-precision, ultrafast semiconductor and industrial lasers, and Coherent Corporation's introduction of the I-Temp micro pump semiconductor laser for extended temperature operations.
With the positive growth drivers, increasing demand in smart connected devices, and high-end applications, coupled with the recovery from the COVID-19 impact, the global semiconductor laser market is poised for promising growth in the coming years.
