The laser welding machine market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.77 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of electric vehicle production, automation of fabrication lines, demand for dissimilar material welding, investments in robotic welding, adoption of high-speed welding solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of automated laser welding systems, growing use in lightweight materials joining, expansion of handheld laser welding, integration with robotic welding cells, demand for high-precision welds.

The rise in manufacturing activities is expected to drive the growth of the laser welding machine market going forward. Manufacturing involves transforming raw materials or components into finished products using tools, human labor, equipment, and chemical processes. Laser welding machines are used in manufacturing for precise and efficient joining of materials, enabling high-speed and accurate welding operations. Their use enhances productivity by providing a versatile and automated solution across various industries. For example, in September 2023, the Federal Reserve System, a US-based central bank, reported that US manufacturing output increased by 0.4%, reflecting a growth in factory production. Thus, rising manufacturing activities are propelling the laser welding machine market.

Major companies in the laser welding machine market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as advanced multifunction laser welding systems, to meet growing demand for higher precision, improved automation, and reduced material wastage in industrial packaging and fabrication. These next-generation systems integrate cutting and sealing functions into a single platform, allowing faster production cycles and greater efficiency compared to traditional mechanical sealing or thermal welding equipment. For instance, in February 2023, NewTec GmbH, a Belgium-based manufacturer of weighing, sorting, and packaging machinery, launched the LASER FLOWPACK 700, an advanced laser welding machine designed for packaging applications. The system combines laser cutting and sealing within one unit, enabling fully automated plastic film processing. It optimizes material usage, reduces plastic consumption, and ensures precise, contamination-free sealing, ideal for fruits and vegetables. Its integrated design streamlines workflow, enhances packaging quality, and delivers faster, cleaner, and more sustainable production.

In March 2025, Hymson Novolas AG, a Switzerland-based provider of precision laser and automation solutions, acquired the laser plastic welding business of Leister Technologies AG for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Hymson aimed to expand its global presence in the laser welding segment and integrate Leister’s decades-long technological expertise and product portfolio into its own laser processing offerings. Leister Technologies AG is a Switzerland-based provider of industrial laser plastic welding systems and services, offering modular and customized laser welding equipment for sectors including automotive, medical devices, electronics, and industrial manufacturing.
