The global laser direct imaging system (LDI) market size was USD 872.9 million in 2022 and market is projected to touch USD 1200.8 million by 2031 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6% during the forecast period.

The Laser Direct Imaging system (LDI) has auto focus features that enable the system to manage various material thicknesses and quick job changes without the use of costly equipment.

The PCB producers gain a lot of benefits by employing LDI to create the circuit traces, most of them are related to the drawbacks of using a Photo-tool. Alignment problems, light refraction problems, and environmental imperfection are all eliminated when a Photo-tool is not required.

Due to the computer's improved optical alignment, which automatically corrects for material distortion, LDI also enables PCB makers to develop images that need higher precision and resolution.

Changes to the required images are also simpler to make with LDI: with the conventional method, even the smallest error on the Photo-tool necessitated the factory producing a new one, wasting time and money. However, with LDI, these changes became a matter of updating the design file, which can be done more consistently and affordably.

COVID-19 impact: Global Recession during Pandemic Decreased Market Growth

The period of pandemic brought an economic crisis to the entire world. The world economy collapsed and all the industries were negatively affected. Many reasons such as irregular supply of logistics and raw materials, and, unavailability of raw materials became the major restrains of the laser direct imaging system (LDI) market development. All of this was due to lockdowns and strict social distancing norms. During the pandemic of COVID-19 there was a severe global recession. People were fired from their jobs.
