Market Size & Trends:
The global friction stir welding equipment market size was estimated at USD 246.9 million in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2030. The increasing demand for high-quality, cost-effective, and environment-friendly welding technologies in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and shipbuilding is driving the growth of the friction stir welding (FSW) equipment market. FSW is a solid-state joining process that is particularly effective for welding lightweight alloys, providing superior joint strength and durability.
Technological advancements in FSW equipment, such as robotic and mobile systems development, are presenting significant growth opportunities. These advancements improve the effectiveness and adaptability of FSW processes, enabling their use across various applications. In addition, the growing focus on reducing manufacturing costs and improving product performance is driving the adoption of FSW technology across various industries. The expansion of the aerospace and automotive industries and the need for lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles are further expected to bolster the market demand.
FSW technology is recognized for its lower energy consumption compared to traditional welding methods, making it an excellent fit for global sustainability goals. As manufacturers aim to meet these goals and adopt more eco-friendly practices, the demand for FSW equipment is expected to increase. The growing need for high-strength, defect-free welds in critical sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and shipbuilding is driving demand for friction stir welding equipment. The rising use of lightweight materials such as aluminum and magnesium alloys in these industries is further contributing to the demand for this equipment. FSW's benefits, including reduced energy use, fewer welding defects, and enhanced mechanical properties, are also expected to support market expansion.
Environmental concerns and stringent regulations regarding emissions and energy consumption are also influencing the friction stir welding (FSW) equipment market. FSW technology is known for its lower energy consumption compared to traditional welding methods, which aligns well with global sustainability goals. As manufacturers seek to comply with these regulations and adopt greener manufacturing processes, the demand for FSW equipment is expected to rise.
