I have been working with CodeIgniter since a month, now I have work on Laravel. I am bit confused that why we need Laravel when we are good with CodeIgniter. Why is Laravel preferred over CodeIgniter and what are the benefits that we get with Laravel?

Both framework are good in there place. Laravel used multiple open source technology to make laravel more efficient and reliable. Eg. For view : laravel used blade template engine. Laravel used composer as a package manager. Laravel used psr-4 . Both framework follow MVC model. Laravel provide more secure platform.

We can't rate the value of Laravel 4 unless we understand some advanced OOP terminology. But I want to state that Laravel 4 is the most prominent framework to date for its some cool OOP Architecture. And now it's the best one as you can scale it in any sense, as long as you adhere to best coding ethics. Service Locator, IoC, Repository, Facade, Factory, Builder even Singleton is used here which is awesome. It's not so fast but better coding and better use of queue, cache can make it faster.
On the other hands, Codeigniter is not so scalable for its CI God object. But in OOP we can do many things possible with better structure of our App.

Both of them have its own specialties. But Laravel 4 depends a lot of a number of external packages for its functionality. To do this, it is using Composer as a dependency manager.
