U.S. Welding Equipment & Consumables Market Size, by Product, 2013–2024 (USD Mn)

 

Construction industry growth in emerging economies such as India, China and Brazil will boost the welding equipment & consumables market demand in near future. These countries have a stable economic growth backed up by the growing construction industry in the regions. Increasing population in India and China are demanding home and better infrastructural facilities. These factors lead to rapid urbanization as people from rural and underprivileged areas move to the developed regions for the need of employment, education, and food. New industries are set up in these regions to support the growing needs of people, thus, leading to industrial development, fueling the market demand.
 

Increasing oil and natural gas demand round the world and increasing explorations will also drive the welding equipment & consumables market. Energy needs have risen significantly for the past few years owing to increasing industrialization, automation, automobiles, and other such factors. Companies have been exploiting the coal, petroleum, and natural gas resources round the globe due to high fuel demand as an important source of energy. Extensive use of crude oil in industrial activities, and transportation industry will lead to more fossil fuel demand which, in turn, will create new growth avenues for the product industry.
 

Emerging technologies such as friction stir welding in the automotive industry may, in future. lead to growth restraints for the welding equipment & consumables market. This technology is a joining process of two facing work pieces in the solid state by using a non-consumable tool. The process is carried out without melting the material. It is gaining popularity in the shipbuilding, aerospace, and transportation industries and may negatively impact the market.
