The argon lasers market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Over the past few years, the argon lasers market has seen a substantial increase in size. The market is expected to expand from a value of $2.32 billion in 2024 to $2.54 billion in 2025 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%.
The reasons for this growth in the previous period include a growing need for less invasive surgical procedures, expansion in the fields of dermatology and ophthalmology, an increase in chronic diseases, advancements in laser technology, and a rising trend in the use of laser-based scientific tools.
The argon lasers market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for argon lasers is predicted to experience substantial growth in the coming years, with its size expected to rise to $3.6 billion by 2029 at a 9.1% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
The growth within this forecast period is expected due to several factors such as the rising utilization of laser therapies in developing markets, the escalating demand for accuracy in medicine, expanding use in cosmetics and aesthetic procedures, the evolution in personalized medical solutions, and ongoing developments in the field of photonics. Forecast trends include a shift towards minimally invasive procedures, advancements in versatile laser wavelengths, improvements in portable and energy-efficient laser technologies, expansion into veterinary uses, and an intensified emphasis on environmentally friendly laser technologies.
The argon laser market is predicted to expand due to the rising prevalence of skin disorders. Skin disorders, which manifest as irritation, inflammation, and changes in skin appearance, are increasingly common due to factors like growing pollution levels, shifts in lifestyles, and heightened exposure to harmful substances. Argon lasers contribute to the treatment of skin disorders by using specific wavelengths to accurately remove or repair injured skin tissues and decrease pigmentation or vascular lesions. For example, the American Cancer Society, a non-profit organization based in the United States that's committed to eradicating cancer, anticipates 108,270 skin cancer cases in January 2024, marking a 3.2% rise from the 104,930 cases documented in 2023. Consequently, the escalating prevalence of skin disorders is expected to bolster growth in the argon laser market.
