Laser Plastic Welding Market
Laser Plastic Welding Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Laser Type (Diode Lasers, CO2 Lasers, Fiber Lasers, Nd Lasers and Other Laser Types), System Type, Polymer Type, Welding Method, End User and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Laser Plastic Welding Market is growing at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period. Laser plastic welding is a technique used to join thermoplastic materials together using laser energy. In this process, the laser beam is directed onto the surface of the plastic components to be welded, creating localized heating and melting of the material. As the laser energy is absorbed by the plastic, it softens and fuses with the adjoining component, forming a strong bond upon cooling. This method is often preferred for its precision, cleanliness, and ability to weld complex shapes without the need for additional materials like adhesives or fasteners.
According to the World Economic Forum, the global vehicle production is estimated to grow approximately 108.4 million over the forecasted period.
