On July 29, the OFweek 2026 China Laser Industry High-Quality Development Summit was held in Shenzhen. Expert representatives from research institutes, industry associations, upstream and downstream companies across the laser industry chain, and industry research organizations gathered to discuss development trends, technological innovation, and application prospects for China's laser industry.
During the summit, the "2026 Blue Paper on Laser Industry Application Innovation and Development" was officially released. As a contributing organization to the Blue Paper, Shenzhen Vivlaser Technology Co., Ltd. (Vivlaser) was invited to attend the summit, joining industry experts and partners to witness the release and engage in in-depth discussions on the high-quality development of China's laser industry.
Focusing on the Industry Frontier: New Opportunities in the Laser Sector
This year's summit featured a main forum along with several themed sub-forums centered on hot topics in laser industry development.
The morning main forum focused on the following topics:
- Development trends of China's laser industry during the 15th Five-Year Plan period
- Applications of AI-assisted laser processing technology
- Industry empowerment through laser heating technology
- New opportunities for laser technology driven by new energy
- Development of ultra-high-power single-mode fiber lasers
- Application trends of green lasers
The afternoon sessions focused on segments such as metal processing and integrated circuit manufacturing, with in-depth discussions centered on the integration of AI and laser technology, smart manufacturing, and precision processing.
Vivlaser believes China's laser industry is moving from a phase of rapid growth into one of high-quality development. As core technologies continue to break through and application scenarios keep expanding, industry competition is gradually shifting from scale expansion toward core technology innovation, application solution capability, and global service capability.
At the same time, the rapid growth of emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, new energy, high-end equipment manufacturing, and semiconductors is pushing laser technology to evolve continuously toward higher power, higher precision, and higher efficiency. Going forward, only companies that keep breaking through key technologies, deeply understand real-world application needs, and continuously improve product reliability and system integration capability will be able to maintain a competitive edge through this next round of industry upgrading.
Official Release of the "2026 Blue Paper on Laser Industry Application Innovation and Development"
As one of the summit's key outcomes, the "2026 Blue Paper on Laser Industry Application Innovation and Development" was officially released.
The Blue Paper systematically reviews the global and Chinese laser industry across multiple dimensions — market size, industry chain, competitive landscape, regional distribution, industrial policy, and future development trends — providing an important reference for companies looking to chart their strategic direction.
Key Findings of the Blue Paper
The Blue Paper highlights:
- The global laser industry continues to grow steadily, and China has remained the world's largest laser equipment market for several consecutive years.
- Domestic substitution across the laser industry chain continues to advance, with upstream core components becoming increasingly self-sufficient.
- Emerging industries such as new-energy vehicles, power batteries, semiconductors, and healthcare are becoming key growth engines for laser applications.
- AI technology is accelerating its integration across the entire laser manufacturing process, driving the industry toward greater intelligence and higher-end development.
The Blue Paper also analyzes the regional development landscape of China's laser industry, noting that industrial clusters in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, and Central China continue to leverage their respective strengths, jointly driving China's laser industry toward high-quality development.
Vivlaser's Contribution to the Blue Paper, Supporting High-Quality Industry Development
As a contributing organization to the "2026 Blue Paper on Laser Industry Application Innovation and Development," Vivlaser was honored to take part in its compilation.

Vivlaser's View: Four Key Development Trends
Drawing on the summit discussions and the Blue Paper's analysis, Vivlaser believes the laser industry will show the following key development trends over the next several years.
AI Empowering Laser Manufacturing
AI is steadily being integrated into laser processing optimization, equipment control, and quality inspection, helping companies improve processing efficiency, product consistency, and smart manufacturing capability.
New Energy and Semiconductors Continuing to Drive Market Demand
The rapid growth of new-energy vehicles, power batteries, photovoltaics, and advanced semiconductor manufacturing continues to drive technology upgrades and market growth for high-performance lasers and laser processing equipment.
High Power and Short-Wavelength Lasers Opening Up Broader Applications
Continued breakthroughs in blue, green, and ultraviolet lasers, as well as high-power semiconductor laser technology, are opening up broad application prospects in copper welding, high-reflectivity material processing, carbon-fiber composites, and semiconductor manufacturing.
In recent years, Vivlaser has continued to invest in high-power semiconductor laser and blue laser technology, with products spanning industrial processing, laser heating, new energy, and additive manufacturing. Going forward, the company will continue to align with customers' real-world application needs, driving deeper integration between laser technology and advanced manufacturing, and delivering high-performance, customized laser solutions to more industries.
Domestic Substitution Entering a High-Quality Development Phase
As in-house R&D capability for core components continues to improve, China's laser industry is shifting from "scale-driven growth" to "innovation-driven growth." Going forward, competition among companies will increasingly center on core technology, product quality, and application solution capability, opening up broader development space for domestically developed, high-end laser equipment.
Continuing to Innovate, Growing Together with the Industry
As a contributing organization to the "2026 Blue Paper on Laser Industry Application Innovation and Development," Vivlaser feels both honored and mindful of the responsibility that comes with it.
Going forward, Vivlaser will continue to pursue independent innovation, deepen its focus on high-power semiconductor laser technology, and keep delivering more stable, efficient, and reliable laser products and application solutions across industrial manufacturing, new energy, semiconductors, healthcare, and beyond.
