Global Friction Stir Welding Equipment Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Friction Stir Welding Equipment market size is predicted to grow from US$ 273 million in 2025 to US$ 416 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2025 to 2031.

Friction stir welding ( FSW ) is a solid-state joining process that uses a non-consumable tool to join two facing workpieces without melting the workpiece material. Heat is generated by friction between the rotating tool and the workpiece material, which leads to a softened region near the FSW tool. While the tool is traversed along the joint line, it mechanically intermixes the two pieces of metal, and forges the hot and softened metal by the mechanical pressure, which is applied by the tool, much like joining clay, or dough. It is primarily used on wrought or extruded aluminium and particularly for structures which need very high weld strength.

Global Friction Stir Welding Equipment key players include Grenzebach Maschinenbau GmbH, Nova-Tech Engineering, Beijing FSW, FOOKE GmbH etc. Global top five manufacturers hold a share over 60%. Europe is the largest market, with a share over 30%, followed by North America and Asia-Pacific, both have a share over 40% percent.

In terms of product, Desktop Equipment is the largest segment, with a share over 50%. And in terms of application, the largest application is Automotive, followed by Aerospace and Railways.
