China's laser processing industry products mainly include various types of laser marking machine, welding machine, cutting machine, scribing machine, engraving machine, heat treatment machine, three-dimensional molding machine, as well as grossing machine, etc., occupies a large market share in the country. The international market punching machine has been gradually replaced by laser, and China's punching machine and laser cutting machine **** exist, but with the continuous application of laser technology in the manufacturing industry, laser cutting machine will gradually replace the punching machine, so the analysis that the laser cutting equipment market space is very large.
In the laser processing equipment market, laser cutting is the most important application of a technology that has been widely used in shipbuilding, automotive, rolling stock manufacturing, aviation, chemical, light industry, electrical and electronic, petroleum and metallurgy and other industrial sectors. Japan, for example: in 1985, Japan's annual sales of new punch presses roughly 900 units or so, while the laser cutting machine sales of only 100 units, but in 2005 sales soared to 950 units, while the annual sales of punch presses fell to about 500 units.

According to the Prospect Industry Research Institute released the "2015-2020 China's laser industry market outlook and investment strategy planning analysis report" data show that in 2008-2014, China's laser cutting equipment scale to maintain steady growth. In 2008, China's laser cutting equipment market size is only 507 million yuan, to 2012 growth of more than 100%. 2014, China's laser cutting equipment market size of 1.235 billion yuan, a year-on-year growth rate of 8%.

According to statistics by 2009, the global cumulative ownership of high-power laser cutting equipment around 35,000 units, and may be higher at present; and China's current ownership is estimated at 2500-3000 units. It is expected to
"Twelfth Five-Year Plan" end, China's high-power CNC laser cutting machine market demand will reach more than 10,000 units, according to the price of 1.5 million calculated per unit, the market size of more than 15 D billion. For China's current manufacturing equivalent, high-power cutting equipment in the future penetration rate will increase dramatically.
Combined with the growth rate of China's laser cutting equipment market size in recent years, as well as China's demand prospects for laser cutting equipment, the Prospective Industry Research Institute predicts that China's laser cutting equipment market size still maintains a steady growth trend. It is expected that by 2020, China's laser cutting equipment market size will reach 1.9 billion yuan.
Since the laser cutting process is limited by laser power and intensity, most modern laser cutting machines are required to be assembled to provide beam parameter values close to the best value of the technology of the laser, high-power laser technology represents the highest level of laser application technology, as of and China's high-power laser cutting equipment owned by the developed countries in Europe and the United States compared to a huge difference, it can be predicted that China's future to high Cutting speed, high precision and large cutting width as the characteristics of high-end high-power CNC laser cutting machine demand will show a significant increase in trend.
