Laser communication is a kind of communication mode using laser to transmit information. Laser frequency range is wide, tunable, good monochromism, high strength, good directivity, good coherence, small divergence Angle, energy concentration and many other advantages, so laser communication has the advantages of large communication capacity, strong confidentiality, light structure and so on.

Developed countries and regions such as Europe, the United States and Japan started the research of laser communication industry earlier, the level of product development and production technology is in the world's leading position, the application and development of laser communication is also more in-depth, and it is the main production and demand area of global laser communication. China's laser communication industry started late, and the development time is short, but in recent years, the domestic laser communication industry has developed rapidly. A small number of enterprises have achieved commercial production.

From the market supply and demand situation, North America, Europe and Japan are the world's main laser communication supply market, but also the world's main laser communication demand market, accounting for most of the world's market share. Although China's laser communication industry started late, but rapid development, in recent years, the domestic laser communication supply capacity and demand market have maintained sustained rapid growth, for the further development of the global laser communication market continues to inject new impetus.

From the policy point of view, the United States, Europe, Japan and other countries have invested heavily in the field of laser communication technology to carry out relevant technical research and in-orbit tests, and have carried out comprehensive and in-depth research on the key technologies involved in laser communication, and constantly promote the laser communication related technologies to the practical application of engineering. In recent years, China has gradually increased the policy tilt of the laser communication industry, and continuously promoted the industrialization of laser communication technology and other policy measures, and promoted the continuous innovation and development of China's laser communication industry.

From the market competition point of view, the global laser communication market concentration is high, the production enterprises are mainly concentrated in Europe, the United States and Japan and other developed countries and regions, these regions laser communication industry started earlier, strong technology research and development strength, excellent product performance, and has formed a strong branding effect. The world's leading representative companies include Tesat-Spacecom, HENSOLDT, AIRBUS, Astrobotic Technology, Optical Physics Company, Laser Light Communications, etc.

From the perspective of development, the global laser communication industry production technology level will continue to improve, the application field will be more extensive, especially China's laser communication industry will usher in a golden development period with the support of national policies, China's laser communication industry whether from the technical level, product level or from the application level will achieve a qualitative leap. China will become one of the world's major demand markets for laser communication, and the development prospects of the industry are excellent.
