Global Market Analysis for Welding Consumables and Welding Robot (Ⅱ)

摘要

This study analyzed the market trends of welding consumables and welding robots from international welding industries using data reported by SHIMPO CORPORATION. Recently established companies are planning to use automation to achieve high performance with cheap labor. In this context, welding robots are commonly used in manufacturing facilities to perform high-quality welds at a faster rate than with manual welding. In addition, most welding procedures exhaust welding consumables such as rods and wires. Therefore, it is possible to estimate the trends of the overall welding market and related application industry market through the market trends of welding robots and welding con- sumables. From 2009 to 2021, the sales of welding consumables grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.17%, whereas those of welding robots grew at a CAGR of 11.17%. The higher growth rates in developing countries have lifted up the overall market growth, whereas the rates in leading markets such as the US and China have tended to slow down. In conclusion, the increasing demands for manufacturing and construction in developing countries such as India and Southeast Asia are expected to drive the market growth in the coming years.
