The global welding fume extraction equipment market size was USD 3554.4 million in 2019 and the market is projected to touch USD 56561.5 million by 2032 at a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period.

Welding fume extraction equipment is a device designed to remove toxic fumes when they are produced by welding. Welders wear masks or sealed cabinets to avoid direct exposure to harmful gases such as ozone and nitrous oxide, which can cause headaches and damage the lungs. They also use a gas-fired burner equipped with protective tubes connected to a fan system that removes the fumes before they are released into the environment. Advanced systems use filters for additional protection against airborne particles. In some cases, high frequency sound waves can be used; they work by breaking down toxins into their original components so they are less harmful if inhaled or touched during cleansing procedures.

Compliance with mandatory occupational health and safety regulations around the world has been a major factor driving the growth of the market. In addition, increasing demand in various end-use industries such as construction, automotive, shipbuilding and others for a clean environment to improve operator productivity will further fuel the market growth.

COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth Restrained by Pandemic due to Supply Chain Disruptions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the growth of the global welding fume extraction equipment market slowed down significantly due to the temporary shutdown of the construction and manufacturing industries in the APAC region. However, in 2021, the large-scale vaccination campaigns that began ended the closure and travel restrictions, which led to the recovery of production units. Such factors are expected to drive the market during the forecast period

LATEST TRENDS

"Integration Of Iot And Data Analytics Fueling Market Growth"

The integration of IoT and data analytics is an emerging trend in the global welding fume removal market. Many manufacturers are integrating more and more sensors to collect information about the operating parameters of the extraction units, air quality and equipment performance. In addition, a number of advanced analytical methods are widely used to analyze this data to identify anomalies, predict likely failures, and improve maintenance schedules. For example, LoT systems that monitor airflow and filter clogging are increasingly being used. The main advantage of such systems is that they predict filter replacements using analytics, which reduces downtime. Growing construction activity will significantly contribute to the growth of the welding fume removal equipment market in the future. Construction is an area of ​​business and manufacturing that deals with building, maintaining and repairing infrastructure.

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into Mobile Units, Stationary Units.

Mobile Units are compact and portable weld removal equipment. They have wheels for easy movement and can be left in one place while the welder walks from station to station with torches. Movable parts are quite often used by manufacturers who weld sheet metal parts together into larger pieces that are then cut into the final shape during fabrication or machining.

Stationary Units is welding equipment fixed at the workplace and intended for use only at the installation site. They can be permanent or portable and have wheels so that they can be moved from one place to another. In recent years, portable welding fume extraction devices have become popular because they offer greater flexibility than fixed systems while providing good ventilation.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Arc Welding, Resistance Welding, Laser Beam Welding, Oxy-Fuel Welding.

Arc welding is a set of welding processes that produce fusion or fusing between metal parts. Arc welders use an electric current to heat the workpiece until it melts and then join the filler to form a solid part. Electrodes are usually covered with filler wire because this protects them from oxidation (rust) at high temperatures.

The laser beam welding process requires a special high-power lens to be mounted on the welder's head. Before starting to weld, the welding area is cleaned and dirt or grease is removed. During this process, shielding gases such as argon or helium can be used to reduce air pollution.

Oxyfuel welding is an arc welding. It uses oxygen and fuel gases such as acetylene, natural gas or propane to generate the heat needed to weld metals. Equipment used in oxyfuel welding includes cylinders containing a pressurized oxygen supply and regulators that regulate its flow rate.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Focus On Worker Safety And Health Standards Will Boost The Market"

Focus on worker safety and health standards will significantly boost the growth of the global welding fume extraction market. It is important for the industry to provide a safe working environment by minimizing exposure to potentially harmful welding fumes and particles in order to meet strict occupational health and safety requirements such as those established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and European legislation. In addition, various companies are increasingly adopting some modern tools for removing welding fumes, including portable extraction units and high-efficiency filtration systems. For example, Lincoln Electric offers a wide range of welding fume extraction equipment designed to meet regulatory requirements and protect workers from respiratory hazards. Consequently, such factors are expected to drive the welding fume extraction equipment market growth during the forecast period.

"Spread Of Advanced Welding Technologies Such As Robotic And Automated Welding Processes To Expand The Market"

The spread of advanced welding technologies such as robotic and automated welding processes will help increase the demand for efficient extraction equipment. As the industry prioritizes worker welfare and compliance with environmental regulations, the welding fume extraction equipment market continues to play a central role in providing effective solutions to health and safety issues caused by welding emissions in various industrial applications. Strong growth in the welding machine market is expected to provide a strong base for welding fume extraction equipment market growth. Rapid industrialization and the subsequent rise in income levels have long been key drivers of demand for consumer durables and the automotive industry. A recovering automobile industry and durables sector are expected to increase the demand for welding equipment in the coming years. Growth in the welding industry continues to be fueled by post-pandemic offshore and onshore oil and gas exploration, as well as pipeline construction projects, driving significant demand for welding supplies, equipment, steel pipes, manufacturing automation, wiring and cables. Since pipelines are considered the most efficient way to transport oil and gas products from source to consumer, welding equipment essential for joining metals will increase with the number of pipeline projects. Product innovations, advances in manufacturing processes and technological improvements are all factors expected to positively influence the global welding fume extraction equipment market. The production and manufacturing sector is in a constant state of evolution, characterized by ever-changing materials used, increasing data monitoring needs and increasing complexity that requires ever-increasing automation. These changing needs force end users to continuously invest in advanced solutions that enable them to maintain high productivity and quality.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"High Cost And Strict Government Safety Regulations May Hamper Market Growth"

High cost of weld removal equipment and underutilization of these systems in developing economies are some of the factors expected to restrain the revenue of the market. As awareness of the occupational hazards of welding fumes increased, strict government safety regulations and the demand for clean air in industrial workplaces increased, the production and supply of welding removal equipment was delayed due to occupational fumes and lack of raw materials and labor. This affected the market. The increase in market revenue is due to the technological development of air filter systems. However, the growth of market revenues can be slowed down by high costs and lack of information.
