The global welding consumables market is currently valued at USD 18.02 Billion and is projected to grow to USD 32.27 Billion by 2033, reflecting a CAGR of 6% from 2023 to 2033.
This market encompasses the joining of two dissimilar metals, driven by increasing demand for customized metal designs and applications in heavy industries. New welding technologies, such as plasma and resistance spot welding, are emerging, along with a rapid adoption of robotic welding solutions. For instance, Yaskawa Motoman launched the ArcWorld 50 Series in September 2019, equipped with advanced features like process monitoring and weld inspection.
A notable trend is the introduction of smart materials integrated with computer chips to monitor the lifecycle performance of weldments, enabling multifunctional designs. For example, combining welding with NiTi shape memory alloys enhances flexibility and allows for more intelligent design in various multifunctional systems.
