Laser diodes are replacing conventional semiconductors owing to their compact nature and inexpensiveness. Additionally, they radiate narrow light, has a wide wavelength, and are well-directed, which meet the requirement of many end-use industries. Furthermore, these lasers operate on small-volt batteries and consume less power than gas and solid-state lasers, which require up to kilo-volts, increasing demand across various verticals.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the growth of the market. The movement of raw materials across countries was halted, which disrupted the supply chain. Many manufacturing units were standstill owing to the government's stringent rules resulting in a delay in the production of components required for laser diode preparation. Moreover, many movie theatres were closed, requiring laser projectors equipped with laser diodes due to the global shutdown, which severely impacted the market growth.
The replacement from conventional light-emitting diodes to advanced laser diodes requires a vast investment cost initially, which is hampering the market growth. Moreover, small manufacturers look for semiconductors that maintain the same performance and do the same task without damaging the end product; thus, the threat of substitutes is a major restraining factor impacting the market growth.
