Thursday Nov 27, 2025

According to this newly published global welding machinery market research report by Industry Experts, Inc., the Welding Machinery Market is set to climb from US$19.8 billion in 2025 to nearly US$29.6 billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 5.9%. The study provides comprehensive coverage of Welding Machinery by machinery type, operational mode, and end-use industry, backed by regional assessments and profiles of 30+ leading companies shaping the competitive landscape.

As industrial automation accelerates worldwide, Welding Machinery is undergoing a rapid technological transformation. Advanced robotic welding systems, AI-driven controls, automated inspection capabilities, and connected welding platforms are becoming increasingly mainstream. The adoption of robotic welding alone has grown by nearly 40%, supported by more than 60% of manufacturers integrating automated and precision welding solutions. These advancements are further strengthened by broader moves toward sustainability, including low-emission processes and increased uptake in electric vehicle and energy applications.

As per this report, Arc Welding remains the dominant machinery type, representing 49% of the market in 2025 due to its versatility, affordability, and established supply chain. However, Laser Beam Welding emerges as the fastest-growing category, projected to record an 8.5% CAGR from 2025 to 2032, propelled by its compatibility with automation, precision joining of advanced materials, and increasing adoption in EVs, aerospace, medical devices, and electronics. Meanwhile, Automatic Welding Machinery continues to gain traction as industries push for higher throughput, repeatability, and tighter quality standards.

Regionally, Asia-Pacific leads global demand due to large-scale manufacturing activity, strong automotive production, and widespread industrial automation programs. North America and Europe continue to advance adoption of high-end automated and laser welding systems, supported by modernization in automotive, aerospace & defense, and heavy industries. South America and the Middle East & Africa are witnessing growing investments in construction, energy, and infrastructure, further strengthening the market's long-term outlook.

From an end-use perspective, Automotive & Transportation accounts for the largest share at 34% in 2025, driven by vast welding needs across vehicle and rail production, strong robotics penetration, and the fast-expanding EV ecosystem. Aerospace & Defense stands out as the fastest-growing end-use segment with a projected 7.2% CAGR during 2025-2032, fueled by increasing aircraft output, defense modernization, space-sector expansion, and the rising use of advanced materials requiring specialized welding capabilities.

The report also offers detailed profiles of more than 30 major players, including ESAB, Lincoln Electric, Fronius, Panasonic Industry, IPG Photonics, TRUMPF, Carl Cloos, Daihen, Obara, Kemppi, voestalpine Bohler Welding, and others. These companies continue to innovate across automation, robotics, laser technologies, and consumables to expand their global footprint.
