The global Quantum
Cascade Lasers Market is expected to grow from USD 302.9 million in 2016
to USD 374.8 million by 2022 at a CAGR of 3.9% between 2017 and 2022. The
market is expected to be driven by the gas sensing and chemical detection
devices which are adopted by various industries to monitor hazardous gases and maintain safety and security on the
field. QCL has a high demand for non-invasive medical diagnostic tools for
diagnosing diseases such as asthma and diabetes by analyzing the breath of the
patient.
The
key QCL providers from North America and Europe led the global QCL market in
2015. These companies have been expanding their offerings worldwide, especially
focusing on the key markets in Asia Pacific and RoW through collaborations,
partnerships, acquisitions, and contracts, among other strategies. Major companies have adopted various
strategies such as mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, agreements,
collaborations, new product launches, capacity expansions, and joint ventures to
expand their global presence and increase their market share.

Alpes Lasers (Switzerland) is the number one player
in the quantum cascade lasers market and has been focusing on developing QCL
light sources. The company has been taken continuous efforts in advancing its
product portfolio and offers all types of QCLs—Fabry–Perot, distributed
feedback, and external tunable cavities— operating in both continuous wave and
pulsed mode. In February 2017, the company was selected for a supply of QCLs to
the US Air Force Research Laboratory under Standoff Illuminator for Measuring
Absorbance and Reflectance Infrared Light Signatures (SILMARILS) program by US
Air Force Research Laboratory, Ohio.
Another key player in the QCL market is mirSense
(France), which focuses on developing its products in industrial gas sensing
and chemical detection, environment monitoring, and direct infrared
countermeasures (DIRCM). In this way, the company is in involved in providing
application-specific products. It has been increasing its R&D spending in
the recent past and is involved in mixed gas sensing applications. In June 2016,
mirSense announced the launch of uniMir for tracking gases such as methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), carbon
dioxide (CO2), formaldehyde (H2CO), and nitrogen dioxide
(NO2).
