ARC WELDING ROBOTS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into non-consumable electrode arc welding robots, consumable electrode arc welding robots.

• Non-Consumable Electrode Arc Welding Robots: This approach is particularly helpful for melting thin materials and produces high-quality welds with a stable arc, but it can only be used at relatively slow rates and requires a significant amount of operator experience.

• Consumable Electrode Arc Welding Robots: Consumable electrodes and welding rods function just as their name suggests. This implies that the filler electrodes melt and become consumed while bridging the space between the main metal and the additional metal part during the welding process.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into metal industry, automotive industry, shipbuilding industry, construction, others.

• Metal Industry: Arc welding robots are used in the metals and machines industry's manufacturing process to guarantee quality and boost output.

• Automotive Industry: These robots are used in the transportation and automotive sectors to weld vehicle parts, which boosts productivity.

• Shipbuilding Industry: Resistance welding, gas metal arc welding, and shielded metal arc welding, which are carried out using electrodes for welding or welding rods. Panels, grillages, tanks units, and other items are fabricated using shielded metal arc welding.

• Construction: Arc welding robots are used in the metals and machines industry's manufacturing process to guarantee quality and boost output.

• Others: Finally, because of their adaptability and capacity for intricate welding jobs, these robotics find use in a variety of other sectors.

DRIVING FACTORS

Recent Increases in Disposable Income to Support Market Expansion

Recent increases in disposable income and economic growth have significantly increased demand for smaller, more affordable, versatile robots. Furthermore, the cost of manufacturing robots has decreased, thus boosting the use of robotics for welding throughout the world.

Robotic welding machines offer increased consistency, efficiency, yield, and throughput along with a decreased requirement for rework. These advantages encourage adoption in a number of industrial verticals, including automotive and transportation, aviation and defense, and electric and electronics, along with increased precision in manufacturing, restoration, and maintenance.

Developments in Robotics to Foster Industry Progress

Furthermore, it is anticipated that developments in robotics, such as the creation of cooperative robots and the incorporation of machine learning and artificial intelligence, will improve the features of the robots. These developments will increase efficiency, provide robots greater customizing options, and allow them to adapt to complicated welding operations.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Strict Rules and Compliance Demands to Stop Market Evolution

But there are several obstacles in the market's way that could slow down its rate of expansion. Manufacturers have difficulties as a result of rising raw material costs, which can affect manufacturing costs and even restrict market accessibility.

Manufacturers in the welding sector face challenges due to strict rules and compliance demands, which necessitate research and development to ensure compliance with health and environmental regulations. The availability and price of raw materials may be further impacted by geopolitical unpredictability and trade conflicts, which would affect the entire price arrangement for machines. These difficulties highlight how crucial strategic innovation and legal compliance are to the market long-term success.
