Growth Factors in the Welding Consumables Industry:

• Growing Construction and Infrastructure Projects

Increasing number of constructions and infrastructure plans, both residential, commercial and industrial, have also increased the demand for welding consumables, as welding is required for the construction and maintenance of these buildings. According to IBEF, to reach its aim of reaching a GDP size of US$ 5 trillion by 2025, India needs to spend more on its infrastructure. Currently, projects worth Rs. 108 trillion (US$ 1.3 trillion) are being implemented under the NIP. The total FDI inflow in the construction development (townships, housing, built-up infrastructure and construction development projects) and construction activity sectors between April 2000 and December 2023 was US$ 26.54 billion and US$ 33.52 billion, respectively.

• Significant Advancements in Automotive and Manufacturing Industries

The automotive and manufacturing industries are the largest consumers of welding consumables. The manufacture and assembly of vehicles and machinery are dependent upon welding as a process. Increased demand for welding consumables is also derived from advancements in technology and the quality of production. In April 2023, Kemppi released the AX MIG Welder a high-performance, integrated and user-friendly robotic welding solution featuring the very latest in state-of-the-art welding technology. The solution was designed for industrial high-intensity automated robotic welding 24/7. The AX MIG Welder has a power output of 400 or 500 An and uses a robotic wire feeder, designed to handle heavy duty work and achieve high productivity rates. The fine-tuning of the ignition, and the accurate seam tracking signal, help to achieve quality welds.

• Energy Sector Expansion

Energy (oil and gas, renewable energy, power generation) is another key industry that drives the market. There is high demand due to pipeline, rig, and infrastructure construction, maintenance, repair, and replacement. According to Invest India, as of 2023, India ranks 4th globally in Renewable Energy Installed Capacity (including Large Hydro), 4th in Wind Power Capacity, and 5th in Solar Power capacity according to REN21 Renewables 2024 Global Status Report. At COP26, India declared a more ambitious goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030. The share of renewables increased further in the global energy mix in 2022 (+1.5 pt., to 30%), 10 pts. higher than in 2010.

Key Trends in the Welding Consumables Market

• Dominance of Stick Electrodes

Equipment to use sticks is inexpensive compared with equipment for other welding processes, and is simple to set up. Stick electrodes can be used outdoors, and in both wind and rain, where other welding processes, such as TIG and MIG, are often not feasible, as the arc can be maintained. They have further use on a wide variety of base metals, thicknesses and applications, making them useful to welders for a variety of different applications. Furthermore, they can be used on various positions, including the overhead position and the vertical position, further increasing their demand.

• Arc Welding Technology Leadership

Compared to other processes, arc welding is relatively inexpensive in terms of initial material and consumable costs, and also produces a strong and durable weld. The strength and integrity of welded joints is important in the manufacture of fabricated components, machines, and structures. Arc welding is one of the most frequently used processes in large scale activities such as construction, automotive, shipbuilding, and power generation, due to factors including its use on thick materials. Since most arc welding processes can be automated, automation increases the precision, consistency and speed of the process, so that arc welding is a common choice for industrial production requirements.

• Construction Sector as Primary End-User

The high strength structural integrity segment is expected to grow due to increasing requirements for high strength materials in building, bridge, and other infrastructure projects, as welding provides stronger joints that can support the structural loads and withstand the environmental conditions that complex construction projects typically face. Besides these, welding is used in many other applications in construction, for example, welding steel frames, reinforcing, pre-fabricated building elements and steel reinforcement for concrete structures. Welding consumables are used due to their versatility to modify, expand and repair structures on site. Welded components cannot be easily dislodged or fail, offering a safer option than bolted assemblies which risk endangering workers or other individuals in the vicinity when parts are released as projectiles.
