LASER DIRECT IMAGERS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global laser direct imagers market size was projected at USD 0.74 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to reach USD 0.9 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 2.3% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.

The laser direct imagers market growth is expected to grow in the near future. The rising use of electronic devices across a range of industries, including electronics for consumers, automotive, telecommuting, and industrial applications, is driving up demand for printed circuit boards (PCBs). Due to its many benefits over conventional techniques, including quicker production cycles, lower operating costs, and better quality control, LDIs are becoming more and more well-liked in the sector.

The increasing use of automation across a range of industries, improvements in manufacturing processes, and the growing need for high-quality electronic parts are all responsible for this growth. It is anticipated that the market will continue to increase in size as companies work to improve their capacity for production and satisfy consumers' increasing needs for electronic gadgets.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Erratic Raw Material and Logistical Supply to Deplete Market Share

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The global economic crisis was spurred on by the outbreak. Every industry suffered greatly when the global economy crashed. A number of factors, including erratic raw material and logistical supply as well as a lack of raw materials, turned into the main obstacles to the growth within the LDI industry. Strict social distance rules and lockdowns were the cause of everything. The COVID-19 outbreak was accompanied by a catastrophic global recession.

LATEST TRENDS

Demand for High Precision LDIs to Stimulate Market Development

High-precision LDIs are also in high demand due to the downsizing of electronic devices and the requirement for high-density interconnection on PCBs. These gadgets may fulfill the demands of sophisticated PCB designs by producing finer line widths, intricate patterns, and high-resolution images. Technological developments are also helping the market; one example is the incorporation of automated optical inspection systems inside LDIs, which enhances productivity and quality assurance.

ANTICANCER DRUG MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into polygon mirror 365nm, DMD 405nm.

• Polygon mirror 365nm: A spinning polygon mirrored is used by polygon mirror 365nm, a form of laser direct imager, to focus the laser beam on the imaging surface. It releases laser light with a 365 nm wavelength.

• DMD 405nm: However, another kind that uses digital micromirror device technique which generates laser light having a wavelength of 405 nm is called DMD 405nm. Accurate and exact imaging is ensured by using both types in the fabrication of printed circuit panels and other electronic devices.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into standard and HDI PCB, thick-copper and ceramic PCB, oversized PCB, solder mask.

• Standard and HDI PCB: In the electronics sector, laser direct imagers, or LDIs, are used in a variety of applications. Standard & HDI printed wiring diagrams (PCBs), which are essential to electronic devices, are produced using them extensively.

• Thick-copper and ceramic PCB: Printed circuit boards having three or more ounces of polished copper in either their inner or outer layers are known as thick copper PCBs. The board can conduct a larger current, accomplish good heat distribution, and implement complicated switches in a constrained space thanks to the extra copper PCB thickness.

• Oversized PCB: Sometimes a big PCB typically including many layers is utilized as the backplane. Furthermore, these huge PCB boards usually include a dense controller and surface plane layout in addition to a great number of connections. The translucent conductive would be affected by these two scenarios.

• Solder mask: Furthermore, LDIs are essential to the solder mask industry because they guarantee precise application of PCB solder mask materials, enhance dependability, and prevent corrosion.

DRIVING FACTORS

Requirement for High-Resolution Imaging Equipment to Support Market Expansion
