The optical path length of the tunable lasers is considered to be difficult when the reflectors are placed on either side of the cavity because the setup affects the wavelength causing it to be unstable. Such difficulty in handling, higher costs, and poor reliability in certain cases are also affecting the overall growth of the Tunable laser industry.




  • Market Challenges:




Some of the tunable lasers are not extremely flexible, they can be tuned for only narrow ranges for a maximum of about 3-4nm, which is not suitable for certain applications. On the other hand, the highly flexible tunable lasers cost over three times higher than their counterparts. The expensive factor is due to the complexity of the manufacturing processes involved. Such factors are presenting challenges for the Tunable laser market Share.


The tunable lasers capable of providing a higher flexible range require extra testing after manufacturing and deploying novel technologies that have not yet reached voluminous demand in the Tunable Laser industry. 


Cumulative Growth Analysis:


The spectroscopy branch of science involves the deep study of the atomic structure of the sample, and muscle, determining the oxygen concentration of water ecosystems, studies related to distant galaxies and improvisation of drugs, and so on. The ongoing development in spectroscopy technology which intensively utilizes the tunable laser is expected to drive the growth of the Tunable laser industry. The oxygen-tunable diode laser spectrometers are crucial in safety applications and industrial processes due to their fast responsiveness compared to other technologies. 


The accurate measurement of the gases’ composition, environmental conditions, and other beneficial features has introduced itself into industries that are prone to catastrophic accidents. Some of the industries that deploy the Tunable Diode Laser spectrometers are gas analyzing labs, and chemical processing industries. Therefore the increasing number of applications has impacted the overall growth of the Tunable Laser industry. Therefore the market value of the Tunable Laser industry was at USD 814 million in the year 2019 and is expected to surpass the market value of over USD 1353.5 million by the year 2026 with a steady CAGR of 8.19% during the forecast period.


Value Chain Analysis:


The primary end-user industry of the Tunable laser industry is the automotive industry. The increasing investment in the automotive industry and the government regulations that demand quality and mileage with reduced emission of CO2 gases have propelled the automotive manufacturers to adopt the recent developments in the tunable laser. The advancing technologies concerning medical devices have increased the Tunable laser market trends in recent times, eventually post-pandemic.
