Fiber laser marking machine is the industry with the most mature development in the field of laser equipment in my country, the lowest barriers to entry, and the most extensive terminal applications. At present, laser marking machines have been widely used in optical fiber communications, laser space long-distance communications, industrial processing, military and national defense security, medical equipment and instruments, large-scale infrastructure and other fields. With the decline in the price of laser marking machines and the extensive demand in the downstream market, my country's laser marking machine industry has ushered in a period of rapid development. From 2014 to 2018, the compound annual growth rate of my country's laser marking machine market reached 19.72%, far exceeding the majority of my country Industrial equipment industry.

By 2019, the global economic situation will reverse, economic and trade frictions will continue, and protectionism will intensify. my country’s national economic growth is slowing down quarter by quarter, the Sino-US trade war is escalating, the downward pressure on the economy continues to increase, and consumer electronics, automobiles and other industries continue to grow negatively. The downstream demand for laser marking machines has slowed down. At the same time, competition in the upstream CO2 laser and fiber laser market has intensified. Especially in the fiber laser market, IPG, Raycus, and Chuangxin Laser continue to lower their shipment prices. The small and medium-power fiber laser market is a red sea. The price of laser marking machines continues to fall. Under the influence of various factors, the market size of laser marking machines in my country has declined for the first time. In 2019, the market size of laser marking machines in my country was 6.94 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 18.06%.

Laser marking machine export market analysis:

In the past 10 years, under the support of the national industrial policy and the R&D investment of enterprises, major breakthroughs have been made in the core laser technology in China. The localization rate of lasers has increased year by year. Raycus Laser, Chuangxin Laser, JPT, Lianpin Laser, etc. The rapid development of laser companies. After the breakthrough of laser technology, the key core component of laser marking machine, domestic laser marking machine manufacturers have also risen one after another. Lasers represented by Huagong Technology, Han's Laser, Feiquan Laser, Dapeng Laser, Guangdong Maqing, and Jinan Bond Laser Marking machine manufacturers quickly occupy the domestic market, and at the same time they are also going overseas, exporting a large number of laser marking machines.

Laser marking machine price analysis:

At present, fiber laser marking machine is the largest and most widely used product in the laser marking machine market. Take fiber laser marking machine as an example: as the technology of low-power fiber laser continues to mature, the price of laser has fallen sharply for many years, and fiber laser marking The machine entered the era of small profits. At present, the price system in the laser marking market is chaotic and low-price competition is fierce. Taking 20W fiber laser marking machine as an example, the price of standard marking machine equipment ranges from 15,000 to 30,000 yuan, and most manufacturers offer around 20,000 yuan. The price of non-standard products ranges from 60,000 to 200,000 yuan. The huge price difference has formed a strong impact on the development of the fiber laser marking machine market. In the low-end market, the price has dropped to the zero point, and the company's gross profit is close to 5%, which has exceeded the 10%-15% of the gross profit of formal laser marking equipment manufacturers. The lower limit of profit; in the high-end market, the price of fiber laser marking machine has also continued to decline, and the annual decline remains in the range of 15%-30%.

Patent analysis of laser marking machine industry in 2019

As of the end of 2019, my country had 201 valid invention patents for laser marking, 1952 valid invention and utility model patents for laser marking, and the number of valid invention and utility model patent applications for laser marking in my country from 2013 to 2018. In the continuous increase, the first decline occurred in 2019, which is also similar to the development of my country's laser marking market in 2019.

Guangdong Province, Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province and Hubei Province are the major patent application provinces in my country's laser marking industry. Judging from the ranking list of patent applicants for invention and utility model patents under review in my country's laser marking industry, Han's Laser is the top five patent applicant company. , Guangzhou Xinke Laser, Shenzhen Airley Laser, Guangzhou Chuangle Laser, Shenzhen Chuangxin Laser are all from Guangdong Province; Jiangsu Province mainly includes Suzhou Saijia Laser, Nanjing Speed ​​Laser, Jiangsu Kuntai and other enterprises patent applications More, Hubei Province is mainly due to the large number of patent applications of HGLASER.
