Based on type, the laser marking machine market is segmented into fiber laser, green laser, UV laser, CO2 laser, MOPA laser, diode-pumped lasers, and Nd:YAG lasers. The CO2 laser segment is expected to grow at a fastest pace at over 11% CAGR by 2032. CO2 laser marking machines are known for their versatility in marking various materials, including wood, glass, acrylic, rubber, paper, leather, and some plastics. They offer a non-contact marking method suitable for sensitive materials and can produce high-quality, permanent markings. CO2 laser marking machines have found extensive use in industrial applications, such as marking packaging materials, labels, serial numbers, barcodes, and decorative patterns. They are also commonly used for marking on non-metallic parts in automotive, electronics, and consumer goods industries. While CO2 lasers have been widely used, there has been a gradual shift towards fiber and solid-state lasers in certain applications. Fiber lasers offer advantages such as higher marking speeds, greater energy efficiency, and the ability to mark on a wider range of materials, including metals.
