Robotic Welding Market

Global Robotic Welding Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Arc Welding, Spot Welding, Laser Welding, and Others), By End-User (Automotive, Metals & Machinery, Electrical & Electronics, Aerospace & Defense, Construction, and Others) Forecast Period (2021-2027)

Published: Oct 2024 | Report Code: OMR2025171 | Category : Industrial Automation | Delivery Format: /

The global robotic welding market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. According to the American Action Forum, there will be a shortage of around 8.62 million skilled labor force by 2029 in the US. This will cause a loss of around $1.2 trillion in economic output. Thus, the industries are adopting automation processes to replace the need for skilled labor. Additionally, the robotic system is more accurate and precise than humans. Thus, the increasing shortage of skilled labor force and rapid adoption of automation processes will significantly drive the robotic welding market during the forecast period.

The installation cost of procurement, programming, and maintenance of robotic welding is high. Thus, it makes it difficult for new ventures and SMEs to establish robotic welding systems for their operations. This will hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Robotic Welding Market

The COVID-19 had suspended the operations of various manufacturing industries due to the lockdown and labor shortage. This has reduced the demand for robotic welding systems. However, the post-COVID-19 market is expected to grow substantially as the manufacturers are making their operations automated to sustain the labor shortage situation that may arrive in the future.

Segmental Outlook 

The global robotic welding market is segmented based on the type and end-user. Based on the type, the market is segmented into arc welding, spot welding, laser welding, and others (including plasma welding). Based on application, the market is sub-segmented into automotive, metals & machinery, electrical & electronics, aerospace & defense, construction, and others (including Steel Plant, and Wind Turbine).

The Automotive Sector is the Major End-User of the Robotic Welding

The automotive sector is the major user of robotic welding as the automotive industry is aggressively implementing Industry 4.0 (i4.0) capabilities into their manufacturing processes by leveraging advanced communication protocols, new controllers, and cloud computing. The industry is adopting these for real-time data capture and analytics to improve manufacturing quality, productivity, and faster model changeovers. The industry is rapidly adopting robotic resistance welding systems for a broader range of welding operations as it provides faster commissioning, better precision, and process flexibility. However, shifting the operations from one vehicle model to another was a major challenge in such types of robotic welding systems. To address this problem Bosch Rexroth has developed advanced software and processors that can store up to 10,000 welding programs, making it easier for manufacturers to rapidly shift welding operations.

Regional Outlooks

The global robotic welding market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America).
