Welding Equipment Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The emergence of friction stir welding technology in the automotive sector is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the lack of a skilled workforce may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the welding equipment industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Market Driver

• One of the key factors driving growth in the market is the emergence of friction stir welding technology in the automotive sector.
• In friction stir welding technology, two metals are joined by using frictional heat, coupled with a precisely controlled forging pressure. This technology prevents mechanical distortion, as the whole process takes place under a low operating temperature.
• Products manufactured using this process are defect-free and possess high integrity. 
• Friction stir welding has found major applications in the aerospace industry but is gaining traction in the automotive industry.
• In the automotive industry, the need for high fuel efficiency has increased the demand for lightweight materials such as aluminium.
• The friction stir welding process offers significant advantages over other welding processes. Some of such advantages are the ability to handle variations in the production process, improved mechanical properties, and low operating costs. 

Key Market Trend

• The lack of a skilled workforce will be a major challenge for the market during the forecast period.
• While there is a significant labour shortage in the welding industry, the revival rate is not proportional. This is partly owing to the fact that the new crop of the workforce is not as qualified as required by employers.
• Though employers have tried to solve this issue through in-house training programs, it is not sufficient as the growth of the number of registered apprentices is slow.
• Several organizations have also cut down expenditure on training programs, as they presume training to provide short-term benefits.
• New types of welding techniques further create a challenge for companies, as they need to train their workforce to handle these techniques efficiently. Furthermore, the use of automation and welding information management systems requires additional knowledge and skillsets to handle these systems effectively. 

Key Market Challenge

• The increasing adoption of automated solutions for welding is a market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years.
• With awareness regarding automation increasing among vendors and vendors seeking to gain a competitive advantage through automation, the use of automation in the welding process has been increasing significantly. 
• While small-scale automation for welding was being used by vendors, the advances in robotics technology have led to the use of robots in welding processes.
• The adoption of robots in welding enhances the efficiency of welding processes, improves the quality of welding, increases productivity, and minimizes scrap.
• Advances in the software and welding guns and the potential of robots to weld any quality steel, aluminium, and other metals sheet are increasing the popularity of welding robots among end-users.
• Vendors are providing robotic systems ranging from single-robot to multiple-robot configurations.
