Automated Welders Market Report 2026

The automated welders market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.03 billion in 2025 to $5.57 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of automotive manufacturing, growth in industrial automation adoption, increasing labor cost pressures, rising demand for consistent weld quality, availability of advanced robotic welding technologies.

The automated welders market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.28 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing use of smart factories, rising demand for lightweight material welding, expansion of electric vehicle production, growing adoption of digital twin technologies, increasing focus on predictive maintenance. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of robotic welding systems, rising demand for high-precision automated welds, growing integration of ai-based weld monitoring, expansion of laser and hybrid welding applications, enhanced focus on worker safety and productivity.

The growing automotive production is expected to propel the growth of the automated welders market in the coming years. Automotive production encompasses the design, manufacturing, and assembly of motor vehicles and their components on a large scale, involving multiple stages of engineering, fabrication, and quality control. The increase in automotive production is largely driven by rising consumer demand for vehicles, fueled by higher incomes, urbanization, and improved financing options. Automated welders support this growth by enhancing manufacturing speed, ensuring consistent weld quality, and reducing labor costs, thereby improving overall operational efficiency. For instance, in 2024, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), new electric car registrations in the United States reached 1.4 million in 2023, representing an increase of over 40% compared to 2022. Therefore, growing automotive production is a key driver of the automated welders market.

Key players in the automated welders market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as dual-process welding robots, to improve productivity, precision, and operational efficiency. Dual-process welding robots are automated systems capable of performing two welding processes - typically tungsten inert gas (TIG) for precise root welds and metal inert gas (MIG) for faster fill passes - within a single robotic cell, combining high quality with increased throughput. For example, in November 2025, Novarc Technologies Inc., a Canada-based robotics company, launched the SWR TIGMIG, a dual-process welding robot that integrates TIG and MIG welding into a single autonomous platform. The system delivers X-ray-quality precision while maintaining high productivity, and it can dynamically switch between TIG-only, MIG-only, or dual-process welding based on project requirements. The robot features advanced vision through a single camera system, intuitive control via the Luna UI, and robust production monitoring software, enhancing both weld quality and operational efficiency while reducing reliance on highly skilled welders.

In April 2024, Daihen Corporation, a Japan-based technology company, acquired Rolan Robotics BV for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Daihen’s presence in the European robotics and automation market and expands its technological capabilities and service offerings in welding and handling solutions. Rolan Robotics BV is a Netherlands-based company specializing in automated welding solutions.
