Lasers are also used for engraving/marking electronic components, consumer items, and other industrial equipment. This technique is widely employed in a variety of end-use industries, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, packaging, and medical.

Significant advantages of laser processing over traditional material processing methods are driving the worldwide market. Laser processing is a faster, permanent, and more accurate method of engraving and marking, with great efficiency, superior beam quality, and dependability.

Besides, the growing trend of product miniaturization and microelectronic device miniaturization is raising the demand for laser processing. Moreover, laser processing technology is increasingly being used in the manufacture of medical devices such as surgical tools, implantable devices, and pacemakers. Furthermore, the use of costly laser-drilling techniques in oil and gas exploration, which lower drilling costs and enhance the feasibility of uneconomic oil reserves around the world, is likely to boost market expansion.
