Robotic Welding Market

Robotic welding market is projected to reach at USD 14,363 million by 2028 at a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period.

Robotic Welding Market Overview

Robotic welding is an automated process that uses robots, which perform and handle the welding process based on a program, and it can be reprogramed according to the project. Robotic welding is an advanced version of automated welding in which machines conduct the welding, but the welder still controls and supervises the process. The use of robotic welding machine, allow for error-free, less waste and quick completion of process with more excellent safety. It provides more flexibility, as it can reach unapproachable locations and perform complicated and accurate weld lines, and weld more quickly than manual welding.

Major Robotic Welding Market Drivers

The factors driving the global robotic welding market include increasing preference for robotic welding to reduce long-term cost, increase reliability and productivity. Due to time-saving features and high productivity, robotic welding is becoming essential to metal, heavy industries and is widely being used in automotive industry. According to the International Federation of Robotics statistics, the number of industrial robots in operation has increased each year and is anticipated to grow in the future.  Robot density in the United States rose from 176 units in 2015 to 255 units in 2020. The implementation of the industry 4.0 concept in the manufacturing process will further contribute to the market growth of robotic welding. For instance, according to one of the leading players, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., the robot business will significantly expand by commercializing autonomous robotic technology that applies IoT and AI to resolve issues arising from demographics becoming older and labor shortage.

Restraint in the Robotic Welding Market

However, the high purchasing cost of the machine can act as a restraint and hamper the market growth of robotic welding. It is not feasible for a smaller project as the time needed for a program may be longer than the welding process. Hence, for smaller projects, human welding process could finish much faster. The timing depends on project size and operator programming speed. This factor can hamper the growth of the robotic welding market.

Type – Segment Analysis

Based on the type, spot welding robot is expected to grow at higher CAGR during the forecast period of the global robotic welding market. With the help of spot welding, two or more metal sheets are welded by applying pressure and heat from the electric current on the weld area. Spot welding is a resistance welding that has been popularly used as a metal joining solution for automotive and other manufacturers over the years. Spot welding is more cost-effective than other welding solutions because it does not require any filler metal or shielding gas. These factors will propel market growth.

End-User Industry – Segment Analysis

Based on the end-user industry, automotive and transportation is expected to grow at higher CAGR over the forecast period. According to the American Welding Society, robotic welding mainstay in the automotive industry. In fact, the car body contains 4500 spot weld joints. Not only have robotic welders increased safety in factories, but also save the production time. Large robots with high payload capabilities and long reach can spot weld car body panels while smaller robots weld sub-assemblies such as brackets and mounts.
