The global transition to renewable energy is projected to drive the growth of the laser cutting machine market moving forward. Renewable energy refers to sustainable and environmentally friendly power sources derived from natural elements like sunlight, wind, or hydropower. Laser cutting machines are utilized in the renewable energy sector primarily for precisely shaping and fabricating components for solar panels, wind turbines, and other clean energy technologies. For instance, in April 2023, a publication by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US-based agency of the US Federal Statistical System, indicated that renewable energy production and consumption reached record highs in 2022, accounting for about 13% (13.40 quads) of total energy production and 13% (13.18 quads) of total energy consumption. Additionally, hydropower generation and geothermal energy usage both increased by 4% in 2022 compared to 2021. Therefore, the global shift to renewable energy is driving the laser cutting machine market.
Prominent companies in the laser cutting machine market are actively pursuing the development of advanced machinery, such as 3D fiber laser cutting machines tailored for steel processing, to establish a competitive advantage in the market. A 3D fiber laser cutting machine represents a precision tool leveraging a fiber laser oscillator to cut through various materials. For example, in May 2022, Yamazaki Mazak, a Japan-based machine tool builder, introduced the FG-400 NEO, a 3D fiber laser cutting machine designed for steel products. Equipped with an energy-efficient fiber laser oscillator, this machine enhances productivity and precision in material cutting, encompassing steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. Notably, users gain control over laser beam diameter and shape, allowing for the efficient cutting of materials with different thicknesses using a single unit.
Leading companies in the laser cutting machine market are concentrating on creating efficient solutions, such as 2D laser cutting machines, to enhance productivity and maximize their market profits. A 2D laser cutting machine is a precision instrument that employs laser technology to cut flat materials with exceptional accuracy and efficiency. For example, in March 2022, Mazak Optonics Corp, a US-based supplier of laser-cutting and automation systems, introduced its next generation of laser-cutting machines, the OPTIPLEX 3015 NEO 15kW. This machine is equipped with technology that enables greater control over beam shape and diameter. It automatically adjusts the beam diameter to optimally cut various materials and modifies the beam shape to manage the concentration and power density of the laser beam. This results in enhanced cutting speed and quality across a broad range of materials.
In May 2022, the German-based holding company INDUS Holding AG completed the acquisition of HELD Industries GmbH for an undisclosed sum. This transaction involved INDUS obtaining a 70% stake in HELD, thereby incorporating another portfolio into its business and extending its presence in laser welding systems designed for hydrogen electrodes. HELD Industries GmbH, based in Germany, specializes in providing laser cutting and laser welding machines and systems.
