The global Laser Processing Machines market is anticipated to expand from USD 10.01 billion in 2025 to USD 10.43 billion in 2026, and further to USD 14.97 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 4.1% during 2025–2035.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with laser processing machines industry experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

A laser beam used in laser cutting equipment melts and evaporates the target area through heat. Materials are sliced using lasers like CO2 and fiber in laser cutting. It has developed into a crucial industrial tool in sectors like the automobile, consumer electronics, and multitasking machine tool industries, among other manufacturing sectors. The automation industry is being driven by an increase in industrial production rates and a rising desire for less human participation in metal processing and operations, which is having a direct impact on the market growth for laser cutting machines.

Key Findings

COVID-19 IMPACT

Industry Shutdown Causes Market Distortion

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is posing significant hurdles to the global economy.
