Industry Overview
The global laser technology market was valued at USD 11.2 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at USD 19.50 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2021 to 2027. A laser is a device that releases a beam of coherent light via an optical amplification process and is based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. Global laser technology is growing at a very high-speed owing to rising demand in the healthcare sector, increasing production of small or microdevices, rise in demand for optical communications, and better performance of lasers than traditional material processing technologies are the key factors driving the demand for the laser technology market. Moreover, fast administering laser machine tools from various verticals, increasing need for cost-effective, new, and different markets in laser technology are propelling the market demand.
The COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected the business sector globally as the manufacturing sector had a severe impact by supply chain disruptions, lack of labor, lack of raw material, etc., resulting in reduced demand for their business products. The researchers are taking initiatives to innovate laser sensors that can detect the virus at an early stage of infection from nasal swabs or saliva within a few minutes. In October 2020, Caltech introduced a cost-effective “SARSCoV2 RapidPlex" wireless sensor that can diagnose the COVID19 virus using a rapid blood or saliva test in few minutes. This wireless sensor transmits information to the end user's mobile phone through Bluetooth.
