Laser interferometer is a system which uses laser as a source of
light because of the high intrinsic brilliance and monochromaticity
of laser lights. These systems offer the advantages of nano scale and
long distance measurements. Laser interferometers also offer the
combination of precise resolution and accuracy which makes it
applicable for flat panel inspection, wafer steppers and nano scale
micromachining. They were developed for meeting the growing demands
of high precision displacement calibration in the automotive and
semiconductor industries. However, the precision of these
interferometers changes with the way they are used and time.
Therefore, they are prone to errors if they are not calibrated on a
regular basis.
The major application areas of laser interferometers are in
electronic manufacturing, automotive and machine shop. Automotive
industry accounts for the major application area of these the laser
interferometers. These systems are also used widely in the
semiconductor industry. The semiconductor and automotive industries
continuously require these high-quality systems in order to produce
highly precise and complex parts. Laser interferometers are used in
machine shops for checking the accurate measuring of the industrial
parts. Other application areas of laser interferometers include
consumer electronics, ophthalmology and defense & aerospace. The
defense and aerospace sector is providing growth opportunities to the
global laser interferometer market.
The increase in demand for laser interferometers in the automotive
sector is primarily driving the global market. The key applications
of laser interferometers in this sector include alignment,
dimensional measurement, profiling and control. Moreover, potential
growth opportunities of the laser interferometer market in Asia
Pacific are also boosting its growth globally. Many companies in this
region are trying to establish global presence by setting up their
plants. Thus APAC is gaining momentum in terms of increased market
share. However, high cost of laser interferometers and limited
knowledge of customers regarding these high-quality products are
hindering the growth of the market. Due of the high cost of the laser
interferometers, only large companies are able to procure them.
However, small and medium enterprises in Europe such as Lasertex,
SSIA and
EKMO R&D have developed rigid and compact laser interferometers
at lower cost.

The global laser interferometer market can be segmented, on the basis
of types into intelligent single-axis systems and multi-axis systems.
The market for laser interferometers can be segmented based on its
application areas into a wide range of industries including
automotive, consumer electronics, semiconductor, ophthalmology and
defense & aerospace. Furthermore, the laser interferometer market
is geographically bifurcated into five broad regions, namely: North
America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East and Africa (MEA)
and Latin America.
The laser interferometer market is witnessing high growth in the Asia
Pacific region. The requirement of critical measurement systems in
the automotive, electronic manufacturing and defense & aerospace
end-user sectors is paving the way for continuous growth of the laser
interferometer market in this region.
