DIODE PUMP SOLID STATE LASERS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global diode pump solid state lasers market is poised for significant growth, starting at USD 0.62 billion in 2025, rising to USD 0.68 billion in 2026, and projected to reach USD 1.4 billion by 2035, with a CAGR of 8.4% from 2025 to 2035.

A Diode-Pumped Solid-State Laser (DPSSL) is a type of laser system that uses high-power semiconductor diode lasers to pump or excite a solid-state gain medium, typically a crystal or glass doped with certain ions. This gain medium absorbs the energy from the diode lasers and emits coherent light in the form of a laser beam. Additionally, DPSSLs are known for their efficiency, compactness, and beam quality. They're used across industries for tasks such as cutting, welding, medical procedures, scientific research, and defence applications. The technology's versatility and advantages make it a popular choice in various fields.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic-Induced Restrictions on Commercial Activities Impacted Market Expansion

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the commercial door operator market experiencing lower-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.

The COVID-19 pandemic hit the market with disruption in global supply chains, affecting the production and distribution of components and materials needed for DPSSL manufacturing. Also, delays in obtaining necessary parts slowed down the production and delivery of laser systems. Furthermore, the economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic led some industries to reduce spending on non-essential equipment, including laser systems. This resulted in decreased demand for DPSSLs, especially in industries that were significantly impacted by the pandemic, such as aerospace, automotive, and certain manufacturing sectors. However, after the end of the year of 2022, the market recorded a substantial growth in the demand for this laser system by various applications sectors which will likely to continue to rise in the future as well.
