The global laser marking machine market size is estimated to reach USD 5.03 billion by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 8.0% over the forecast period. Rising adoption of advanced marking technologies across industries such as machine tools and aerospace and the growing demand for precision marking on manufactured products to improve product’s traceability are some of the factors driving the market growth. Wide-scale applications in the marking of machine tools and equipment especially in the automotive and semiconductor and electronics industries are anticipated to fuel the market demand from 2020 to 2027.
Governments are implementing regulations for permanent marking on products for identification and traceability purposes across defense as well as healthcare industry. For instance, the U.S. Department of Defense has a MIL-STD-130 standard, under which, the military property comprising weapons, artillery, and other equipment should be marked for tracking purposes. Similarly, in 2007, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) added the requirement of Unique Device Identification System to Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) by section 226 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA). Such stringent government norms across economies are expected to spur the demand for laser marking machines and systems over the forecast period.
Growing focus on factory automation to enhance productivity, conserve energy, and reduce downtime is anticipated to propel the overall market demand. Moreover, emerging economies such as India are the primary markets where the trend for mass production can be witnessed over the next couple of years. Mass production can be carried out with the help of automation technologies and quick rollout assembly lines, hence attributing to the demand for automated laser marking machines. For instance, the demand for smartphones in the country has forced the manufacturers to start the local production or assembly of smartphone components.
On the flip side, the safety and health issues related to the use of laser marking technology acts as a restraint for the market. The most prominent safety issues associated with these machines are burns and smoke. Laser burns are often observed on operators working on CO2 laser engraving and marking machines. Thus, the need for precautionary measures for ensuring safety and health, in turn, increases the operational cost. As a result, factors such as high initial investments, safety and health-related issues, and high operational costs involved in the use of laser marking machines may hamper the market growth of over the forecast period.
