First quarter 2009 figures are based on actual data reported by companies voluntarily participating in the Laser Market Data Survey. Growth is based on revised data for prior quarters.
The web-based benchmarking survey tracks and reports actual order data from North American manufacturers and suppliers of industrial lasers including: complete industrial laser machines (workstations and laser source), beam delivery only (workstations), and source only.
Data is collected at a transaction level which enables multi-dimensional reporting across destination, application, configuration, and end user industry which enables participants to analyze the market by different criteria. Participation is free, but detailed data is available only to companies that actively contribute data. Any North American company building or supplying industrial laser equipment may participate in AMT's Laser Market Data Survey.
