With the expansion of the industry, competition is also more intense. It is foreseeable that in 2018, the demand and supply of laser cutting machine will increase. What are the new trends of fiber laser cutting machine in 2018?
In recent years, the rapid development of China's laser cutting machine industry has improved, and the relationship between supply and demand has also changed. The supplier market is obviously bigger than the demand side market, and the market competition is going to be white hot.

In the laser cutting machine serious homogenization of today, is the result of excessive press production cost reduction with lower quality, shoddy, low-cost gimmicks, laser cutting machine price is up is down, elusive.
But looking at the laser cutting machine market, there is a very special phenomenon: the best selling products are often not the lowest price brands. Improving the competitiveness of brands by reducing production costs is the primary stage of competition, because, to a certain extent, production costs can not be compressed indefinitely. In order to really reduce the price of laser cutting machine, we have to start from other aspects.
The core component of the laser cutting machine is the laser source, and it is also the most important part of the price of the laser cutting machine. For a long time, high-power laser cutting machines in China rely on imported technology for pure assembly production. The core components are subject to people. Laser cutting machine is expensive and the supply cycle is long, resulting in high price of laser cutting machine.
At present, small power fiber laser source are mostly occupied by domestic manufacturers. The market share is as high as 85%. After 2010-2015 years of low power laser source production, the cost of small power laser source is down more than 50%. In recent years, the domestic manufacturers in the medium power fiber laser source market have achieved a breakthrough in technology, and the market share has increased greatly. In 2016, the sales volume exceeded imports for the first time. And the high power laser source, the market localization rate is low, the lower price of the domestic downstream enterprises is weak, the price drop is less than the small power laser source. Taking 2000W high power laser source as an example, the 2012-2016 - year average price of the market dropped from 130-160 to 100-140 million, and the decline was only about 20%.
It is not difficult to see whether the price of laser cutting machine will drop or decrease in 2018, to a large extent, depends on whether the application of domestic lasers source can be popularized and gradually replace imported lasers. Although the pricing power of high-power lasers is still in the hands of foreign enterprises mainly based on IPG, a large number of excellent laser leading enterprises have been sprung up, and large power fiber laser source have been launched in batches to break the monopoly of overseas high-power fiber laser source.

With the development of 1.5-6kw high power fiber laser source by domestic manufacturers, breaking the pricing power of foreign manufacturers such as IPG, the price of high-power fiber laser source will decrease significantly, and the cost will be reduced. This will drive the price of laser cutting machine to continue downward in 2018. This will also accelerate the penetration of laser processing in the domestic industry. Meanwhile, domestic equipment manufacturers will seize the market of foreign equipment manufacturers in the traditional heavy industry.
With the domestic brands of increasingly powerful laser cutting machine laser cutting machine market in 2018, the competition will become more intense, but it is expected between the brand, product and enterprise competition, has not been a single price competition, an important aspect of quality, service, value, channel, enterprise development strategy is the enterprise long-term brand and recessive elements the development of competition and sustainable development.
