LASER expanded as Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission ofRadiation is one of the greatest inventions of mankind. The history of lasers dates backto the early 1960s. There are various types of lasers, such as gas lasers, chemical lasers,dye lasers, semiconductor lasers, solid-state lasers, CO2 lasers, Nd-YAG, and fiberlasers, etc.. The applications of lasers are many and are only growing with time as newways of laser applications are uncovered. Some critical applications of lasers aremechanical, medical, aviation, automotive, fabrication, sheet metal, electronics,electrical, packaging, and tribology treatment. Within these applications, lasers areused for a wide variety of reasons. The global laser processing market size was valuedat $12.5 billion in 2017. The industrial lasers market is expected to witness a CAGRgrowth of 5.3% until 2023. The chapter also researches how the quality of lasertreatments affects the market.
