Market Highlights

The global laser diode market is accounted to register a CAGR of 13.50% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 17.8 Billion by 2032.

High-power laser diodes are multimode laser diodes, which have a bigger emitter and can generate more power than single-mode laser diodes. With respect to the intended wavelength, the output power varies. Laser diodes are available with wavelengths ranging from the mid-IR (>2 um) to the UV (370 nm). High-power laser diodes have output powers that range from several watts to hundreds of milliwatts at various wavelengths. Due to the availability of high-power diode laser systems in the kilowatt range, industrial high-brightness systems are used for welding applications, whereas low-brightness laser diodes are used in high-power applications like cladding, additive manufacturing, brazing, and hardening.

Segment Analysis

The global laser diode market has been segmented based wavelength, doping material, technology and application.

On the basis of wavelength, the market is segmented into infrared laser diodes, red laser diodes, blue laser diodes, blue violet laser diodes, green laser diodes, and ultraviolet laser diodes. In 2022, the red laser diodes segment dominated the world market. Red laser diodes are used in many different fields, such as laser pointers for optical data recording or retrieval (for instance, on DVDs), laser projection screens, interferometers, the military, business, pumping some solid-state lasers, and medical therapies (for instance, photodynamic therapy).

Based on doping material, the global laser diode market has been segmented into gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAIAs), gallium arsenide (GAAS), gallium indium arsenic antimony (GAINASSB), aluminum gallium indium, phosphide (AIGAINP), indium gallium nitride (INGAN), gallium nitride (GAN), and others. In 2022, the gallium aluminium arsenide (GaAIAs) category was the market leader. Gallium aluminium arsenide (GaAlAs) based laser diodes may be easily combined with other optical components to produce gallium arsenide (GaAs) heterostructure lasers.

Based on technology, the global laser diode market has been segmented into includes double hetero structure laser diodes, quantum well laser diodes, quantum cascade laser diodes, distributed feedback laser diodes, SCH laser diodes, vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) diodes, and vertical external cavity surface emitting laser (VECSEL) diodes. In 2022, the quantum cascade laser diodes segment was the largest in the world. The difference in well energy levels is used by a form of heterojunction laser diode called a quantum cascade laser diode to produce laser light.

Based on application, the global laser diode market has been segmented into includes telecommunication, industrial, medical & healthcare, consumer electronics, automotive, and others. In 2022, the worldwide laser diode market was dominated by the medical & healthcare segment. Surgery, dermatology, gynaecology, cardiology, otology, ophthalmology, angioplasty, photodynamic treatment (PDT), diagnostic image processing, and other medical procedures all make use of laser diodes.
