Global welding machinery market size is estimated to be valued over USD 19.5 billion in 2019. The industry will register positive CAGR of 2.4% to create 1.2X higher revenue opportunity by 2028. Rise in revenue is primarily attributed to external macroeconomic growth including construction and automotive sales.

Welding machinery is across wide range of industries. From chemical and metal fabrication to construction and automotive, large end-use consumer base has created ample market opportunity. This in turn has led to many companies operational in the segment. Moreover, lower operational cost and higher demand has led to favorable ecosystem.

Global welding machinery market is highly fragmented, with players mainly focusing on direct distribution networks to stay agile. It is price intensive industry with numerous small scale players in Asia Pacific. While, the industry is fragmented, it is significantly moving towards consolidation with changing business structure in heavy industries. Increased industrial automation is one such step towards advancement in technology. As such, leading players are aggressively pushing towards leveraging advanced technologies.

The industry registered slowdown between 2010 and 2015 owing to economic recession, impacting major areas of manufacturing sector. The most hit was construction sector which was crumbling due to lower infrastructure projects. This has also affected the sales of welding machinery. Developed region was most hit due to staggering economy. However, the construction industry rebounded to impressive growth in 2017. North America has revived its growth and many infrastructure projects have been lined up. The trend is similar worldwide, with Asia Pacific registering fastest growth.

Automotive sector is another key market for welding machinery players. Over 230 million car has been sold between 2016 and 2018. It is further expected that over 80 million cars will be sold in 2019. Automation in the sector is rapidly racking up space. As such, welding machinery is also expected to shift from manual to automated during the forecast period. This will give significant opportunity for players to register high sales. However, at the same time, initial operational cost is expected to be higher.
