歐洲的雷射焊接設備市場

Abstract

Extending the Range of Applications will Help Develop the European Laser Welding Equipment Market Further

There is a diverse set of applications in laser welding but the laser welding equipment market currently relies on limited number of applications for a large slice of the revenue. Further penetration of the technology in new applications will reduce the volatility of the market. The research service covers the laser sources used in laser welding equipment, new applications with good prospects, end-user structure, and the competitive structure of the market in Europe.

Extensive Adoption in the Automotive Sector Drives the Market

More than one-third of CO2 laser sources and half of Nd:YAG laser sources used for welding is purchased by automotive vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers. The European market is expected to be worth $802.2 million by 2011. The compound annual growth rate in the period 2004-2011 is expected to be 5.7 percent
