由於工業化和基礎設施的快速發展,預計亞太地區在預測期內將佔據最大的市場佔有率。該地區汽車和建築行業蓬勃發展,對焊接材料的需求不斷增加。由於該地區擁有廣泛的工業基礎和負擔得起的勞動力成本,焊接材料市場的主要企業也選擇在亞太地區設立生產設施。中國焊接材料市場佔據最大市場佔有率,而印度市場在亞太地區增速最快。
由於最尖端科技和對永續性的關注,預計歐洲在預測期內將呈現最高的年複合成長率。在歐洲,焊接材料主要消耗在汽車和航太領域。這些行業擴大使用鋁和現代高強度鋼等輕量材料,進一步增加了對創意焊接材料的需求。德國焊材市場佔有最大的市場佔有率,而英國焊材市場在歐洲地區正在迅速擴張。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Welding Materials Market is accounted for $26.25 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $41.60 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. The cloth or woven fabric created by spinning unprocessed fibres into extensive, twisted lengths is referred to as welding materials. It may also be described as any product made of woven fibres, such as carpet, clothing, and others. It is widely used in a variety of sectors, including the automotive and transportation industries. Any building project requires welding as a crucial component ranging from aluminium railings used in commercial or residential construction to steel beams used in bridges and structures. In addition every step of industrial manufacture, including the fabrication of items from raw materials like steel or aluminium alloys and their assembly, involves welding.
According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), leading domestic firms in the technology, manufacturing, and construction industries are investing outside of India, which will fuel market growth in the future.
Materials that are "smart" and eco-friendly are becoming more popular on the market. The ability to mix two different metals without affecting their strength, corrosion resistance, or other performance attributes is made possible by advances in our knowledge of how materials behave at the atomic level. The smart material also has a built-in computer chip that tracks weld life and offers a multifunctional design. Additionally, using such materials minimises pre- and post-heating procedures and energy consumption. By using such technologies, manufacturers, product designers, and welders may enhance the whole manufacturing cycle. As a result, the growing need for smart resources is also boosting the global market for welding consumables.
The manufacturing processes used in the automotive, aerospace, transportation, and construction sectors all depend on shielding gases like argon and carbon dioxide. When welding, which mostly uses shielding gases like carbon dioxide and argon as welding materials, a significant amount of greenhouse gases are produced. Many end-use industries, including the automotive, building & construction, and power & energy sectors, require shielding gases in the welding process. As a result, the environment is significantly impacted by the welding process' release of greenhouse gases. The majority of emissions are produced by the cryogenic process that is used to liquefy carbon dioxide and argon, which uses a lot of power. Due to the requirement to cool argon gas to extremely low temperatures during manufacture, it takes twice as much as energy and generates more emissions than liquefying carbon dioxide.
One of the most fundamental and flexible techniques to manufacture metals, welding has advanced tremendously in recent years. It is also a common technique for producing metal in a number of industries. The use of welding fabrication in recent years has increased steadily in the automobile industry's manufacturing processes. Automotive manufacturers are gravitating towards welding processes because of the strong connections, more flexible and pliable structure, and significant improvement in the structural integrity of the welded frames. The well-known international automakers are investing in order to create and begin operations from welding shops built in diverse places.
Unpredictability in raw material prices is a major problem that is limiting the industry's expansion. These consumables are produced using a range of different raw materials, including steel, aluminium, graphite, and iron. In addition, shifting trade regulations, unbalanced supply and demand dynamics, erratic foreign exchange rates, and increased geopolitical risks are all factors influencing price variations for these resources. This has a detrimental impact on manufacturers and raises the cost of producing consumables, pushing them to reduce profit margins in order to compete on the global market. In addition, the lack of qualified welders is causing a rise in workplace accidents, which is restricting the industry's growth.
The COVID-19 outbreak had a significant influence on the welding materials market. As the governments of some nations enforced stringent lockdowns to restrict the virus's spread in the early stages of the pandemic, industries in those nations were ordered to shut down. Manufacturers of welding materials were permitted to continue manufacturing operations when the lockdown was ended and the limitations were relaxed, but only in a limited capacity and with a number of restrictions. The market for welding materials suffered as a result of COVID-19's detrimental effects on the car sector. The suspension of Chinese part shipments, the closure of US assembly factories, and widespread industrial halts in Europe all had significant effects on the sector.
The arc welding segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to clear benefits to a variety of end-use industries is that it makes welding applications more viable in the automotive, heavy engineering, and industrial sectors as a whole. One of the important reasons propelling the sales of welding consumables throughout the forecast period is the prevalence of robotic arc welding in manufacturing facilities and other sectors. Through these welds, the new procedures will make it possible to create structures that are safer, lighter, more environmentally friendly, and stronger.
The automotive & transportation segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the increased use of robotic, automated welding, welding consumables the prominent providers of welding solutions provide their products. Additionally, evolution and industry 4.0 transition for automakers, significant changes to the collectively, production facilities are promoting the expansion of welding application throughout the automobile industry and increasing spending on both new and existing transportation initiatives, rising disposable income, and government initiatives to enhance connectivity.
