The main reason was that the cost advantage of the company was further revealed under the scale effect. According to the products, the gross profit margin of pulse laser / continuous laser / ultrafast laser was 9.23/29.71/52.47%, with a year-on-year change of – 3.18 / – 3.10/1.17%, and the net profit margin of sales, It reached 14.72% in 21 years, with a year-on-year increase of 1.23%.

The 10000 watt laser is expected to continue to expand in large quantities, expand new application fields and shape the second growth curve of the company. In 2020, the market share of high-power lasers in China reached 57.6%. Under the background of accelerating the localization process, the company’s 10000 watt laser is expected to continue to increase in volume. In only 21 years, the company sold more than 238010000 watt laser products, an increase of 243% over 2020. In addition, the company continued to make efforts in new energy power battery, rail transit, automobile and spare parts, shipbuilding and other industries. The cleaning products formed batch cooperation with many industry leading customers. Pulse products began to be verified and tried in small batches in high-end industries such as polar ear cutting, silicon rod grooving, photovoltaic application and so on. With China’s market share exceeding IPG for the first time in the reporting period, the company’s leading position in domestic industry was further consolidated, The continuous spread of new application scenario products is expected to shape a new growth curve and open the growth ceiling for the company.
