全球焊接材料市场规模在 2022 年达到 135 亿美元,预计到 2030 年将达到 173 亿美元,2023-2030 年的复合年增长率为 4.6%。
为了将金属部件组合在一起并实现牢固、持久的连接,焊接材料是结构性建筑的重要组成部分。这些部件的设计能够承受结构的要求,并确保建筑物的强度和安全性。在整个焊接过程中,焊剂、电极和保护气体都是生产焊点所必需的。
焊剂是一种非金属物质,有多种用途,例如保护电弧和焊接熔池不受环境影响,以及减少电弧焊接过程中的飞溅。气焊使用焊剂清洁母材表面,而电渣焊则使用焊剂形成具有独特工程特性的导电熔体。
预计 2022 年,亚太地区将占据焊接材料市场 33% 以上的份额。庞大的建筑业预计将推动亚太地区焊接材料市场的发展。根据 Global Construction Perspectives 和 Oxford Economics 的预测,到 2030 年,全球建筑业产量将增长 85%,达到 15.5 万亿美元,其中印度、中国和美国将处于领先地位,占全球总产量的 50%以上。
由于越来越多地采用激光和超声波焊接等焊接方法,全球焊接材料市场也随之增长。由于焊接是唯一可用于太空和水下等应用领域的连接方法,因此对焊接材料的需求可能会进一步增加。近年来,建筑行业发展迅速。
基础设施项目投资、经济增长和技术进步都促进了该行业的发展。美国人口普查局预测,2021 年 4 月全国将发放 176 万个新住房许可证。此外,根据 IBEF 的数据,预计到 2025 年,印度房地产市场规模将超过 6500 亿美元。
熟练劳动力对焊接市场至关重要。焊接行业的专家认为,全球缺乏训练有素的焊工。焊接市场面临的一个重要问题是工业化国家的劳动力成本居高不下。大多数从事基础设施项目的承包商都使用焊接和切割设备,而他们经常缺少训练有素的焊工。
金属焊接技术对交通、电力和基础设施(公路、火车、桥梁等)领域的基础设施项目至关重要。据印度焊接研究所(IIW)称,2020 年将缺少 120 万名焊工、切割工、装配工和设备操作员。此外,它还预测到 2023 年,印度可能会出现 135 万劳动力缺口。
工业生产的下降,尤其是汽车和机械行业的下降,直接影响了对焊接材料的需求。焊接行业的就业人数逐渐减少,这是 COVID 带来的结果。许多经验丰富的焊工已接近退休年龄,而年轻工人现在更愿意从事白领工作,而不是金属加工工作。
许多人员无法到达现场的事实使焊接制造商的处境更加艰难。美国劳工统计局报告称,尽管劳动力严重短缺,但在 2021 年至 2023 年期间,对焊工和其他相关工作的需求仍攀升了 2%。这意味着焊接行业将随着技术的发展而不断扩大和进步。
俄罗斯和乌克兰之间的冲突增加了地缘政治风险和不确定性,对市场稳定和投资者信心产生了影响。地缘政治环境可能会改变焊接材料的交易和采购方式。企业可以寻找其他供应商,以降低冲突风险。贸易路线的改变、运输价格的上涨以及焊接材料供应的延迟都会对全球市场产生影响。
冲突及其后果导致俄罗斯和乌克兰的经济不稳定、投资下降和商业不确定性。这些国家的基础设施、工业和建筑业都受到了损害。因此,这些企业对焊接材料的需求减少,从而对市场造成影响。
通过在焊接中实现预测性设计,人工智能可对全球焊接材料市场产生积极影响。未来,机器人和自动化将对焊接材料市场产生重大影响。由于人工智能(AI)、机器学习(ML)和机器人焊接技术的发展,焊接行业正在发生变化。
机器人焊接系统具有许多优势,如产量增加、精度提高和经济实惠。这些系统能够准确处理重复性工作,从而保证焊接质量。通过结合人工智能和 ML,机器人可以学习和适应,从而提高其能力和生产率。采用这些技术的企业可以简化操作、缩短制造时间并更有效地管理资源。
Global Welding Material Market reached US$ 13.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 17.3 billion by 2030 growing with a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period 2023-2030.
In order to combine metal components and make solid, long-lasting connections, welding materials are a vital part of structural building. The components have been designed to withstand the demands of the structure and ensure the strength and security of the building. Fluxes, electrodes and shielding gases are all required throughout the welding process to produce welded joints.
Welding fluxes, which are non-metallic substances, are employed for a variety of purposes, such as shielding the arc and weld puddle from the environment's impacts and reducing spatter during arc welding. Gas welding uses flux to clean the base metal's surfaces, while electro slag welding uses it to create an electrically conducting melt with unique engineering properties.
In 2022, it is expected that the welding materials market would be dominated by Asia-Pacific with more than 33%. The vast construction industry is anticipated to drive Asia-Pacific welding materials market. Global construction production is anticipated to increase by 85% and reach US$ 15.5 trillion by 2030, according to Global Construction Perspectives and Oxford Economics, with India, China and U.S. leading the way and accounting for more than 50% of the global expansion.
Owing to the increasing adoption of welding methods like laser and ultrasonic welding, the global welding materials market has grown. The need for welding materials will likely increase further because welding is the only joining method that can be used for applications including those in space and under water. The construction sector has expanded quickly in recent years.
Investments in infrastructure projects, economic growth and technical advancements are all contributing to the industry's growth. U.S. Census Bureau predicts that 1,760,000 new housing permits will be issued nationally in April 2021. Additionally, according to IBEF data, the Indian real estate market is expected to exceed US$ 650 billion by 2025.
Skilled labour is essential to the welding market. Experts in the welding sector believe that there is a global lack of trained welders. A significant issue for the welding market is the high cost of labour in the industrialised world. The majority of contractors working on infrastructure projects use welding and cutting equipment and they frequently run short on trained welders.
Metal joining techniques are crucial to infrastructure projects in the fields of transportation, power and infrastructure (roads, trains, bridges, etc.). In 2020, there will be a shortage of 1.2 million welders, cutters, fitters and equipment operators, according to the Indian Institute of Welding (IIW). Additionally, it predicted that by 2023, India may have a 1.35 million labour shortfall.
A decline in industrial production, particularly in the automotive and machinery sectors, had a direct influence on the demand for welding materials. The industry of welding has gradually reduced employment, which is a result of COVID. Many experienced welders are nearing retirement age, while younger workers now prefer to work for white-collar jobs over metal fabrication jobs.
The fact that many personnel were unable to arrive on site made things much harder for welding manufacturers. U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics reports that despite the severe labour shortage, demand for welders and other related jobs climbed by 2% between 2021 and 2023. It implies that the welding industry will keep expanding and advancing as technology does.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has increased geopolitical risk and uncertainty, which has an effect on market stability and investor confidence. The geopolitical environment may change the ways that welding materials are traded and sourced. Businesses could search for other suppliers to lower the risk of the conflict. Changes in trade routes, higher transportation prices and delays in the supply of welding supplies have an effect on the global market.
The conflict and its fallout have caused economic instability, a decline in investment and commercial uncertainty in both Russia and Ukraine. The infrastructure, industrial and construction industries in these countries have all been harmed. As a result, these businesses have less need for welding materials, which has an impact on the market.
By enabling predictive designs in welding, AI can positively affect the global welding materials market. Robotics and automation will have a major impact on the market for welding materials in the future. The welding industry is changing as a result of developments in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and robotic welding technologies.
Many advantages come with robotic welding systems, such as increased production, accuracy and affordability. The systems are capable of handling repetitive jobs accurately, which leads to constant weld quality. Robots can learn and adapt by combining AI and ML, which improves their capabilities and productivity. Businesses that adopt these technologies can streamline operations, shorten manufacturing times and more effectively manage resources.
The global welding materials market is segmented based on type, technology, end-user and region.
The construction & building end-user segment, which is the largest, is projected to account for more than 1/4th share of the global welding materials market. Welding is typically used for structural purposes when building infrastructure. The reason for this happens because the majority of structures built in this industry are megastructures that rely on strong metal frames made by welding.
Steel, in particular, may be used to construct some infrastructure, such as bridges, virtually entirely. The players are working to create new welding materials to suit the demand since the construction industry has a variety of welding needs. For instance, Lincoln Electric unveiled new GTAW (TIG) cut lengths in 2020 that have high silicon compositions and stainless steel alloys for a precise and high-quality welding process.
Due to the significant penetration of cutting-edge welding materials technology for the region's building & construction and automotive industries, the North America welding materials market is expected to account for about 1/3rd of the global market during the forecast period. The need for welding in North America is anticipated to expand as infrastructure projects progress.
For instance, the Southwest Florida International Airport will spend US$ 250 million in 2023 to expand its terminal to accommodate additional checkpoints and check-in sections that need metals and blocks to be fixed and welded at specific locations. It is expected to increase demand for welding materials and fuel market expansion in the region.
The major global players include: ESAB, Colfax Corporation, Air Liquide S.A., Air Products & Chemicals, Illinois Tool Works, Linde PLC, Lincoln Electric Holdings, Tianjin Bridge Welding Materials Group, Kobe Steel and HYUNDAI WELDING CO., LTD.
The global welding materials market report would provide approximately 61 tables, 59 figures and 201 pages.
