LASER CODING AND MARKING EQUIPMENT MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Laser Coding and Marking Equipment Market size stood at USD 3.85 billion in 2025, growing further to USD 10.54 billion by 2034 at an estimated CAGR of 11.84% from 2025 to 2034.

The United States Laser Coding and Marking Equipment Market size is projected at USD 1.31613 billion in 2025, the Europe Laser Coding and Marking Equipment Market size is projected at USD 0.89256 billion in 2025, and the China Laser Coding and Marking Equipment Market size is projected at USD 1.08471 billion in 2025.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with laser coding and marking equipment 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.

Different products can be marked using popular industrial laser marking techniques. Coding is a type of modern marking that entails writing codes like barcodes, dates, serial numbers, etc. on products. When carried out with a laser marking equipment, this process is known as laser coding. Production and intralogistics procedures for both consumer and industrial items depend heavily on coding and marking.

Laser coding and marking equipment are used to print product-related data, such as the date of manufacture, batch number, and date of expiration, on the packaging. Demand in key end-use industries like food and beverage, beauty products, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, construction and building materials, amongst others, influences the market. These industries also have a positive outlook for the retail sector.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Supply and Isolation Limitations to Deplete Market Advancement

The laser coding and marking equipment market growth was severely impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. As parts of the lockdowns and limits put in place as part of the attempts to stop the spread of the coronavirus, production activities were temporarily paused at a number of manufacturing facilities. The imports and exports of the equipment were also impacted by limitations on the travel of people and products.

Due to company closures, lockdowns that had to be enforced, and delays in every aspect of supply chain manufacturing operations globally, the pandemic has had a severe impact on equipment business. All manufacturing procedures associated with the industry have been weakened by the outbreak. Due to the increasing rise in vaccination efforts, companies are recouping losses in the market for coding and marking systems by utilizing new trends and technologies.

LATEST TRENDS

Packaging Procedures Modification to Stimulate Market Development

Manufacturers in the fast-moving, high-output beverage industry must contend with shifting consumer habits that could affect operational effectiveness. Plastic bottles are being pushed out in favour of bottles made of other materials, like aluminium that is completely recyclable. In response, beverage businesses are updating their packaging procedures as well as their coding and branding systems. Due to which the market will advance at a rapid pace in the upcoming years.

• Asia-Pacific held around 44 % of the laser marking machine market share in 2024, evidencing regional dominance.

• UV laser platforms led growth in niche applications, notably in medical and semiconductor industries, outpacing other laser types.

LASER CODING AND MARKING EQUIPMENT MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type; the market is divided into fiber laser, CO2 laser, and UV laser

Fiber laser is the leading part of the type segment.

By Application

Based on the application; the market is divided into automotive, aerospace, machine tool, electronics & microelectronics, medical, packaging, and others

Automotive is the leading part of the application segment.

DRIVING FACTORS

Utilization in Automotive Sector to Aid Market Expansion

By properly coding the automobile parts, laser coding and marking equipment may prove to be extremely helpful in the automotive sector in preventing the use of fake vehicle parts.  When printing scannable, anti-counterfeiting barcodes, automotive manufacturers often prefer invisible inks. Requirement of laser coding and marking equipment is anticipated to increase as a result of the automobile sector incumbents' anti-counterfeiting initiatives.

Food and Beverage Industries to Foster Industry Progress

In 2020, the beverage and food sectors led the laser coding and marking equipment market and accounted for more than 31% of total sales. A food company must get food safety accreditation before it can sell its products through retailers or online platforms. To combat counterfeiting, food companies are likewise placing a big focus on differentiation of products and trademark protection.

Additionally, as people become more and more concerned with their health, they are increasingly looking for traceable tags and regulatory certificates on the food goods they buy, which is raising the need for laser coding and marking equipment from food and beverage industries.

• Product traceability demands across industries such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, and food & beverage are significantly boosting laser marking adoption.

• The need for non-contact, high-precision marking in automated, high-speed manufacturing environments is fueling laser system integration.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Difficult Installation Procedures to Hinder Market Advancement

But coding and labelling equipment is frequently very expensive. Putting the equipment into place can be a very expensive undertaking. All supply chain participants, especially the smaller ones, might not have enough financial resources to build the infrastructure necessary to put equipment in place. As a result, during the course of the forecast period, the laser coding and marking equipment market expansion is anticipated to be constrained by the high costs associated with equipment.

• The high upfront cost of laser marking equipment continues to be a barrier to adoption, especially for smaller businesses.

• Ongoing costs related to regulatory compliance and safety standards add operational burdens to potential adopters.
