The rising adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to drive the growth of the resistance welding equipment market for EV batteries. Electric vehicles rely primarily on electric motors instead of internal combustion engines, and their adoption is increasing due to growing environmental awareness and government incentives promoting sustainable transportation. Resistance welding equipment is used to join battery cells, tabs, and busbars with high precision and strength, ensuring reliable electrical connections and efficient energy transfer within EV battery packs. For example, in 2023, the International Energy Agency reported that new electric car registrations in China reached 8.1 million, a 35% increase from 2022. This growth in EV adoption is supporting the expansion of the resistance welding equipment market for EV batteries.

Key players in the resistance welding equipment market are developing advanced technologies to improve precision, efficiency, and traceability in EV battery production. Welding involves joining materials, typically metals or thermoplastics, through heat, pressure, or both, creating a strong, permanent bond. In September 2025, AMADA WELD TECH INC., a US-based manufacturer, showcased its battery and EV welding solutions at The Battery Show 2025 in Detroit. Featured technologies included the TL-188B-EZ weld head, UB-4000 Linear DC Resistance Welding Power Supply, and WL-300A laser workstation with MM-L400A weld monitor, all designed to improve weld quality, efficiency, and traceability. Demonstrations also highlighted wire compacting, crimping, and electric motor welding solutions for high-current and traction motor applications, emphasizing AMADA’s focus on precision and innovation in battery manufacturing and e-mobility.

In January 2023, BMZ Group, a Germany-based battery system manufacturer, partnered with AMADA WELD TECH in a $12.69 million (€11 million) deal to expand production capacity in Germany and enhance process efficiency for the growing global energy storage market. AMADA WELD TECH specializes in resistance welding systems and automated metal joining solutions for battery manufacturing, automotive, and electronics applications.
