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.
