2019 Top10 Most Influential Laser Brand

After decades of development, laser technology has long moved from the laboratory to people’s daily lives. Whether it is clothing, food, housing, or industrial processing, and then to medical cosmetology, laser light is everywhere, affecting all aspects of people’s lives. From the development status of a country’s laser industry, the overall industrial manufacturing level can be seen to a certain extent.

In 2019, the growth rate of the laser industry has further slowed down. Although some companies have maintained high growth, more companies are facing declines in performance or even losses. Next, based on the performance of this year (revenue scale and market share), select 10 companies that have the most influence on the laser industry and see how they are doing in 2019.
