The global laser micromachining tools market was valued at USD 359.2 million in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 377.4 million in 2026 to USD 622.2 million in 2034, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.40% during the forecast period. North America dominated the laser micromachining tools market with a market share of 36.90% in 2025.
Laser micromachining is a process that involves generating fine structures ranging from a few microns to several hundred microns. These machines are used for various applications, including drilling, cutting, milling, marking, texturing, and structuring. Due to its wide range of applications across various sectors such as automotive, consumer electronics, aerospace and defense, optoelectronics, and photonics, an increase in demand for laser micromachining tools is expected.
For example, according to the International Energy Agency, the demand for electric cars has tripled between 2020 and 2024, and strong sales are projected in the future.
Similarly, electronics such as mobile devices and industrial robots contribute significantly to the growth of the laser micromachining tools market due to the precise processing of materials in various applications.
Micromachining systems using laser technology are strongly driven by their innovative and emerging applications across various sectors. The increasing adoption of industrial automation and the demand for robotics in various end-use industries are driving the demand for laser-based micromachining tools. This is expected to further enhance the market share of laser micromachining tools across various industrial sectors. The current trend of miniaturization of systems and components such as solar cells and PCBs is increasing the need for precise components, consequently driving the growth of laser technology for microstructures. Several substantial projects and investments are directed towards emerging technologies such as solar and other environmentally friendly sectors.
Ultimately, this will contribute to the growth of this market in different regions.
The temporary suspension of manufacturing facilities negatively impacted the market during the pandemic.
The outbreak of the pandemic caused a slowdown in manufacturing processes, which subsequently decreased the demand for laser micromachining tools. The rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus in various regions disrupted the supply chain due to trade barriers between countries. Temporary closures in manufacturing processes caused delays in material supply, and manufacturers faced supply chain-related issues, leading to a market slowdown.
