Executive Summary
According to the report, the welding consumables market was valued at $16.1 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $27.5 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2023 to 2032."Welding materials" is a broad term that refers to the various components, substances, and materials used in the welding process to join two or more pieces of metal together. These materials are essential for creating a strong and reliable weld.
Filler materials such as welding electrodes, welding wires, and flux-cored wires, are added to the joint during welding to help fuse the base metals together. They are selected based on the welding process, the type of base metals being joined, and the specific requirements of the weld.
Shielding gases are used to protect the weld zone from atmospheric contamination in some welding processes. Common shielding gases include argon, helium, carbon dioxide, and gas mixtures. These gases are typically used in processes such as gas metal arc welding (GMAW or MIG welding) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW or TIG welding).
Growing population base has led to rapid urbanization in both, developed and developing economies such as the U.S., China, India, and others. This has increased government spending on the building & construction sector to develop various upcoming infrastructure projects. For instance, according to a report published by National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency, the infrastructure activities accounted for 13% share of the total foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in 2021. Furthermore, rapid development of water supply, sanitation, urban transport, schools, and healthcare aid in the growth of the building & construction sector where welding consumables are widely used for connecting steel beams, trusses, columns, and footers, to support the walls, roofs, and others.
The demand for welding consumables is closely tied to infrastructure development projects, such as the construction of buildings, bridges, highways, and pipelines. As countries invest in infrastructure development, there is a growing need for welding to join and fabricate structural components.
Moreover, factors such as rise in demand for air travel, introduction of modern aircrafts, and others have led the aerospace sector to witness a significant growth. Moreover, countries such as the U.S., China, India, and others are constantly engaged in manufacturing advanced fighter jets with modern armor facilities, which in turn has augmented the growth of the aerospace and defense sector.
The aerospace and defense industry requires precise and high-quality welding for the fabrication of aircraft, missiles, and military vehicles. The demand for lightweight materials and advanced welding techniques in this sector contributes to the market growth.
Furthermore, welding is an integral part of the automotive and transportation industry for manufacturing vehicles, trailers, and components. As this industry evolves with new technologies and materials, the demand for welding consumables, including specialized ones for aluminum and high-strength steel continues to grow. Thus driving the demand for welding consumables.
Additionally, the oil and gas industry relies heavily on welding for the construction and maintenance of pipelines, refineries, and offshore structures. The growth in the energy sector, including the expansion of shale oil and gas production, contributes to the demand for welding consumables. Thus, driving the growth of the market.
However, the welding consumables market is sensitive to economic fluctuations. During economic downturns, construction and manufacturing activities often slow down, leading to reduced demand for welding consumables. Thus, economic instability constrains the market growth.
