The global direct diode laser systems market size was USD 469.45 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 881.36 million in 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. 

Laser diodes are extremely energy-efficient semiconductor technologies that may be purchased for under $1 per unit for mass-produced electronics. Products are available in a range of wavelengths, from ultraviolet to long-wave infrared; the device structure and constituent semiconductor materials decide the primary wavelength. Due to their low spectral linewidth (monochromatic), coherent beam qualities, high radiance (brightness), and higher efficiency, laser diodes stand apart from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in a significant way. The addressable market for laser diodes is represented in the image below.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Declined Market Demand

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

Due to the imposed nationwide lockdowns following the COVID-19 breakout, the market for laser diodes fell. Due to the disruption in the global supply chain, it is also anticipated that there will be shortages in the supply of raw materials and a considerable decline in demand through the end of 2020. Around 69% of respondents to the IPC poll of electronics companies reported that their suppliers have warned them that COVID-19 will cause delays in shipments.

Driving Factors

"Rising Developments to Stimulate Market Demand"

So-called direct-diode lasers are essentially completely different animals, despite occasionally being lumped alongside fiber lasers. A direct-diode laser is really built of a non-gain optical fiber that is simply filled with light that originates from a number of laser diodes linked to the fiber, as opposed to a fiber laser which is composed of a gain fiber that is end- or side-pumped. For processing materials, high-power fiber and direct-diode lasers are both employed. High-power direct-diode systems are invariably multimode since the efficiency of optics for mixing light from numerous laser diodes will be far beyond the single-mode limit, even though high-power fiber lasers can be had with either single-mode or multimode outputs.

"Increasing Adoption of Product in Defense Sector to Boost Market Growth"

A significant end-use industry area of the laser diode market is aerospace and defense. For the past few decades, laser diodes have been used in the aerospace and defense sector as pump sources for solid-state systems. This is still the main use for laser diodes, with high power laser diode bars and laser diode arrays being the traditional formats. Such factors are expected to drive the direct diode laser systems market growth in the coming years.

Restraining Factors

"Physical Damage to Hamper Market Demand"

The LIDAR system has some drawbacks. This technique is ineffective in bad weather because pulse power needs to be restricted because this wavelength can be harmful to the eye. The detection system's range is likewise decreased by the low pulse power to roughly 100 m.
