Abstract
This year Strategies Unlimited has expanded its comprehensive industrial and fiber laser report to provide much more insight and precision into the applications and projections to 2011. This report remains the most complete in the industry, now with more detail on how the market estimates were made. The report covers the entire industrial laser market, with special emphasis on fiber lasers and thin-disk lasers.
The market continues to expand at a healthy rate, with fiber laser sales now past $200 million. This year we count over 30 companies making complete fiber laser products, including announcements by GSI, Rofin-Sinar, and Trumpf at Laser 2007 in Munich. This industry is not one to make rapid changes, but many application trends are becoming more clear in this period of transition, and analyzed in this update from Strategies Unlimited.
