Laser cutting control system is the key functional component of laser cutting equipment. As the core of laser cutting equipment, the laser cutting control system forms a set of laser cutting solutions covering typesetting, cutting, NC and other processes by integrating key technologies such as CAD, CAM, NC, etc., to achieve good compatibility between components, software and hardware in all links. The excellence of laser cutting system directly determines the accuracy and efficiency of laser cutting equipment, which is the key to the differentiation of laser cutting equipment. From this, it can be seen that the high-end development of laser cutting equipment in China, and the laser cutting control system is a key link.
The laser cutting equipment can be divided into three grades: low power, medium power and high power. At present, the domestic substitution has been basically realized in the low power field. The localization rate in the medium power field is growing continuously, and the international manufacturers in the high power field occupy an absolute advantage. The corresponding medium and low power laser cutting control systems are basically replaced by domestic ones, and the market is occupied by such enterprises as Bachu Electronics, Weihong, and Aosendico. The market share of the above three enterprises is about 89%. In the field of high power laser cutting control system, the market is mainly occupied by German Beifu, German PA, Siemens and other enterprises, and the market share of domestic enterprises is about 15%.
According to the in-depth market research and investment forecast analysis report on laser cutting control system industry from 2020 to 2024 released by the New World Industry Research Center, in terms of application demand, laser cutting equipment is currently mainly used in 3C, power battery and other fields. Influenced by the development of terminal industry, the market demand for low and medium power laser cutting control systems has shown a small growth trend in recent years, with a market scale of about 500 million yuan in 2020, It is estimated that it will reach 550 million yuan by 2022, and the market space will show a steady growth trend.
With the support of the Made in China 2025 strategy, China's industrial equipment, electronics and other industries are gradually becoming high-end. Therefore, high-power laser cutting systems are driven to be applied in consumer electronics, biomedical, 3D printing, high-end equipment and other fields. The market demand continues to grow. It is estimated that by 2022, the sales of high-power laser cutting systems in China will be about 23000 sets, with a market scale of about 1.1 billion yuan. It can be seen from this that high power laser cutting systems are ahead of medium and low power laser cutting systems both in terms of market size and growth rate, and high power is the main development trend of the industry.
Industry analysts from New Horizon said that the laser cutting control system is the core component of laser cutting equipment. With the development of the terminal electronics industry, the market demand for laser cutting control systems is growing. In terms of subdivision, China's medium and low power laser cutting control system has basically achieved localization, while in the field of high power laser cutting control system, it is still occupied by foreign enterprises. In the future, there is a large domestic alternative space in high-end fields, and the domestic laser cutting control system market still has a large development space.
