The welding products market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $15.76 billion in 2023 to $16.78 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the rise in industrialization, the growth of the manufacturing sector, the expansion of infrastructure projects, the adoption of welding technology in the automotive industry, and the increase in construction activities.

The welding products market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.71 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the rise in demand for welding products in the renewable energy sector, the growing demand for lightweight materials across various industries, the expansion of the oil and gas industry, an increasing focus on repair and maintenance activities in aging infrastructure, and a rising demand for welding products in the defense industry. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the adoption of automation and artificial intelligence in welding processes, the emergence of eco-friendly welding technologies and materials, customization of welding products for specific industrial applications, the integration of data analytics for quality control, and a shift towards more portable and compact welding equipment for enhanced flexibility.

The anticipated rapid growth in the construction sector is poised to drive the welding products market during the forecast period. The construction sector, encompassing diverse activities such as infrastructure development, building construction, and maintenance, extensively relies on welding for fabricating structural frameworks from metal components. The use of welding is prevalent in joining trusses, steel I-beams, columns, and footers, which are crucial elements in supporting a building's walls, roof, and floors. For example, projections from the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), a US-based technology company, suggest that the global construction sector is expected to reach $8 trillion by 2030. Hence, the swift expansion of the construction sector is a key factor propelling the growth of the welding products market.

The projected increase in demand for manufactured goods is set to be a driving force behind the growth of the welding products market. Manufactured goods, produced through various manufacturing processes involving the conversion of raw materials into finished or semi-finished products, span across industries like automotive, aerospace, heavy machinery, electronics, furniture, infrastructure, energy, and defense. Recent data from Eurostat, a UK-based government statistical agency, indicates a 0.2% rise in manufactured industrial output in the European area and a 0.1% increase in the European Union between May and April 2023. This surge in demand for manufactured goods is expected to contribute significantly to the growth of the welding products market.

A prominent trend in the welding products market is the technological advancement observed in welding products. Key players in the market are actively developing technologically advanced products with enhanced impact wear resistance and combined abrasion to meet the evolving needs of various industries. As an illustration, in July 2022, Vitesco Technologies, a Germany-based automotive supplier, introduced new green laser equipment, a sustainable laser welding technology that can potentially reduce energy consumption by up to 20% and decrease the CO2 footprint per laser-welded joint compared to conventional infrared laser systems.

Major companies in the welding products market are strategically focusing on the development of robotic welding products to strengthen their market position and expand their product offerings. Robotic welding products, characterized by automated systems utilizing robots for welding operations, offer improved precision and efficiency in manufacturing processes. For instance, Kemppi Oy, a Finland-based welding company, unveiled the Kemppi AX MIG Welder in April 2023, a robust robotic welding system designed for seamless integration, user-friendly operation, and advanced welding technology, specifically tailored for high-demand, continuous, and automated welding applications.

In November 2022, Manufacturing Technology, Inc. (MTI), a US-based contract precision manufacturer, acquired Friction Welding Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (FWT) for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition enhances MTI's product line and global reach, adding 40,000 square feet of space in India. It provides FWT with additional resources to strengthen its position in the markets it serves, given its expertise in direct drive friction welding.
