The global welding equipment market is anticipated to reach USD 27.77 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The demand for welding equipment is fueled by growing consumer preference for automated devices such as robotic welding equipment and laser welding techniques in comparison to manual ones. The majority of the demand for welding equipment is associated with end-use industries such as automotive, aerospace, transportation, and construction, which are also experiencing operational difficulties owing to macro-economic factors.
According to HIS Markit, new vehicle sales accounted for 82.4 million globally in 2022, which is up by 3.7% in 2021. The continually increasing demand for automobiles worldwide is anticipated to increase the demand for tools and robots in the automotive industry. This, in turn, is expected to boost the demand for welding equipment over the projected period.
Heavy industries, building & construction, and transportation are among the important end-use industries of welding equipment. In the transportation sector, welding equipment is commonly utilized to fabricate various vehicle body components. According to the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), in 2022, the worldwide output of vehicles was 81,628,533 units. Innovations and technical advancements, such as automation, robotics, IIoT, and others, in the automotive sector to meet rising customer demand are anticipated to increase the demand for welding equipment. In addition, the increasing sales of electric vehicles are expected to further propel the adoption of the welding equipment industry in the coming years.
The rise in construction activities globally, coupled with swift urbanization in developing nations like China, India, Brazil, and those in the Middle East and Africa, is poised to propel the expansion of the construction sector. Increased disposable incomes and enhanced consumer spending capabilities are expected to drive investment in new building construction. Furthermore, government initiatives emphasizing urban planning and infrastructure development in multiple countries are likely to provide additional momentum to the growth of the construction sector. Consequently, the positive trajectory of the construction industry is anticipated to have a favorable impact on the expansion of the market.
