The Carbon Dioxide Laser Market is expected to grow from US$4.653 billion in 2025 to US$5.965 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 5.09%.
One of the earliest molecular gas laser devices to be created, carbon dioxide lasers were created in 1964 and are still in use today. Both industrial and medicinal applications utilize them extensively. A combination of gases including carbon dioxide, helium, nitrogen, xenon, and water vapour make up the carbon dioxide laser. CO2 lasers are frequently employed for industrial applications for cutting, welding, and engraving because of their great power. Additionally, because these lasers have FDA (Food and Drug Association) approval, more people are using them in the medical field. The application of carbon dioxide lasers is a preferred method in both medical and cosmetic procedures because it results in less bleeding, pain, and infection risk.
The market is expanding as a result of an increase in the use of carbon dioxide laser technology in both industrial and medical soft tissue surgical operations. With the help of ablative and non-ablative lasers, cosmetic surgeons have been able to minimize the appearance of scars and wrinkles that are visible on human skin. Therefore, it is anticipated that the growing use of these lasers by experts to treat skin problems will fuel market expansion throughout the course of the forecast period. The benefits of carbon dioxide lasers include quicker cutting and welding processes and better skin texturing, which are boosting the market's expansion. Risks like skin color changes, infections, itching, and swelling, however, are a few restraints that are likely to slow the market's expansion.
Myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia are just a few of the ocular disorders whose prevalence is predicted to rise significantly over the course of the prediction period. Additionally, according to the WHO, untreated presbyopia is estimated to affect roughly 826 million individuals worldwide.
Additionally, the same analysis estimates that 111 million people will be affected by glaucoma by 2040, demonstrating the disease's rising prevalence internationally. Thus, it is anticipated that the rising incidence of eye illnesses will fuel the need for medical lasers, leading to a large increase in the market for carbon dioxide lasers.
The North American region is anticipated to have rapid expansion. This is characterized by the region's strong healthcare systems, quick uptake of cutting-edge laser technology, and rising demand for aesthetic and cosmetic services. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) claimed that 13,281,235 minimally invasive cosmetic operations were carried out in the US alone in 2020, according to data that was updated in February 2022. Thus, it is anticipated that the market will be driven by the rising number of treatments employing these lasers. The same considerations are also expected to contribute significantly to Japan's revenue share in the Asia Pacific market for these lasers. For instance, based on information provided by the ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery), about 1,058,198 cosmetic treatments utilizing these lasers were carried out in Japan in 2020. Thus, it is anticipated that the market will be driven in many regions by the rising interest in cosmetic operations.
