Based on product type, the market is divided into two sections: welding equipment and welding consumables. The welding equipment segment will hold a dominant position in this market in terms of market share during the forecast period, owing to the rising trend of automated machines used in various industries such as automotive and construction to join thermoplastics, metals, and others. The welding consumables segment has the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The high demands for customised solutions for joining dissimilar and non-metallic materials, as well as the rise in steel consumption, are all factors. Furthermore, this industry is now emphasising the use of simple and cost-effective solutions to protect the work piece from the outside environment. Consumables are gaining traction in this scenario because the raw materials used to manufacture them include copper, rutile, and aluminium, all of which have high tensile strength and antioxidant properties.

According to consumable, the market is divided into Stick electrodes, Solid Wires, Flux-cored wires, SAW wires and Fluxes, and Others (gases, rods, etc.). Among them, In 2022, the stick electrodes product segment held the most market share. Stick electrodes are becoming increasingly popular for welding a diverse range of components due to their ability to increase welding strength as well as their high corrosion resistance and tensile strength. During the forecast period, flux-cored wires have the highest CAGR. Flux-cored wires have greater deposition rates than other welding consumables, making them ideal for high-speed welding applications. This makes them popular in industries where productivity and efficiency are critical, such as automotive, construction, and shipbuilding.

Based on by Technology, the market is divided into Arc weldings and oxy-fuel welding . Arc welding is expected to gain prominence in the coming years due to the increasing adoption of fusion processes and the use of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) across various industries because it is a flexible and cost-effective process. Oxy-fuel welding technology has the highest CAGR from 2023 to 2028. Its growing use in industrial manufacturing applications The welding equipment and products used in this technology are highly cost-efficient, which promotes their implementation in welding fillet, butt, and lap joints with object thicknesses up to 5mm.
