Due to the impact of technological development, compared to foreign markets, the development of China's semiconductor laser industry is relatively lagging behind. In the early stages, the industry was limited to scientific research, and with the rapid growth of the semiconductor industry, it effectively drove the large-scale development of the semiconductor laser industry.

1、 Analysis of the Development Pattern of China's Semiconductor Laser Industry

1. Regional pattern

Due to the current regional clustering characteristics of laser related enterprises in China, most enterprises located in various regions are concentrated. Among various regions in China, there are relatively more laser enterprises in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, and Central China. At the same time, there are certain differences in the relevant business scope of each region, which provides a foundation for the development of the semiconductor laser industry. According to the latest market research data, as of the end of 2021, The proportion of semiconductor laser enterprises in the three regions mentioned above has reached 16%, 12%, and 10% respectively, indicating a relatively wide coverage overall.

2. Enterprise occupancy rate

From the perspective of semiconductor laser enterprises, the majority of participants in the current domestic market mainly come from developed countries and regions such as Europe and America. For example, foreign-funded enterprises such as IPG Optoelectronics, nLight, and Lumibird have long occupied the majority of the semiconductor laser market due to their advantages in technology and talent. According to analysis reports, as of the end of 2021, IPG Optoelectronics The market share of nLight and Lumibird are 19.6%, 15.2%, and 12.7%, respectively. Among local enterprises, Ruike Laser and Chuangxin Laser account for a higher proportion than other enterprises, with 5.6% and 4.2% respectively in 2021.

3. Market concentration

With the continuous progress of technology, semiconductor lasers have gradually become a field with development potential. In recent years, the country has increased its support for related industries, providing impetus for the development of enterprises in the industry. As one of the important equipment, semiconductor lasers have also been continuously increasing in industry concentration. According to research data, by the end of 2021, the CR3 of China's semiconductor laser industry reached 47.5%, a significant increase of about 8% compared to 2020, The growth rate has slowed down by about 6 percentage points compared to the previous year.

2、 Prediction of the Development Trend of China's Semiconductor Laser Industry

1. Rising demand in the medical market

Against the backdrop of the continuous improvement of the national economy, more and more people are paying attention to the management of their self-image, which has driven the rapid development of the medical beauty market. Compared with traditional medical beauty, the laser medical beauty market has flourished in recent years. Due to its good effects in anti-aging, skin tightening, and minimally invasive phototherapy, laser medical beauty has been widely welcomed by the public. In 2021, the global beauty laser market size is close to 2 billion US dollars, Compared to previous years, there has been a significant increase. With the rapid development of the laser medical beauty market, the demand for semiconductor lasers and other equipment in the medical field will significantly increase.

2. High industry investment enthusiasm

Driven by market demand, laser technology continues to innovate, and the attention to the laser industry in various fields is increasing. The capital market and government are gradually paying attention to the development of semiconductor lasers and other industries, making them one of the segmented markets with development potential in the optoelectronic industry. The number and scale of industry investment events are continuously increasing, and it is expected that the demand for semiconductor lasers in various industries will increase in the future, At the same time, the industry's investment enthusiasm continues to increase.
