Fortune Business Insights™ in its report titled “Welding Consumables Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Type (Stick Electrodes, Solid Wires, Flux-cored Wires, and SAW Wires & Fluxes), By Welding Technique (Arc Welding, Resistance Welding, Oxy-fuel Welding, Solid State Welding, and Others (Electron Beam Welding)), By Application (Automotive, Building & Construction, Heavy Engineering, Railway & Shipbuilding, Oil & Gas, and Others (Aerospace)), and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032” observes that the global welding consumables market size was valued at USD 13.40 billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 13.92 billion in 2025 to USD 19.95 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period.

Welding consumables help in ensuring cost-effective welding, which helps in protecting the molten weld from impurities in the air and prevent porosity from forming in the weld pool. As a result, they are commonly used in the construction, automotive, energy, shipbuilding, and aerospace sectors.

Lincoln Electric Increased its Product Diversity by Offering Hyperfill Solutions

In May 2022, Lincoln Electric increased diversity in its existing product portfolio by offering Hyperfill solutions into its Flux-Cored wire applications. The company is engaged in developing, manufacturing, and supplying of welding equipment and consumables in diverse geographies, which has increased diversity in its existing product portfolio.

Fabrication Industry Experienced Shutdown of Production Units, Construction Project Delays, and Shortage of Trained Welders

Lockdowns, travel bans, and company closures affected economies and businesses in leading to manufacturing industries to experience supply chain disruptions, technology event cancellations, and workplace closures. According to the American Iron & Steel Institute Data, there was reduction in production by the U.S. steel mills, which led to reduction in the output as well. Furthermore, the fabrication industry also experienced a downturn leading to the shutdown of total production units, construction project delays in the construction projects or cancellations, and a shortage of trained welders on the worksite.

Utilization of Smart Materials in the Welding Industry to Increase the Product Demand

Utilization of smart materials in the welding industry is anticipated to drive the welding consumables market growth. Additionally, smart material has an embedded computer chip to track weld life and provide a multi-functional design. For instance, NiTi shape memory welding consumables and joining facilitate flexibility in terms of the intelligent design of multifunctional systems. Additionally, incorporating such materials consumes less energy and reduces pre- and post-heating processes.  

New Product Portfolio and Diversification in the Existing Product Portfolio to Expand Market Share

The manufacturers have been strengthening their positions the Asia Pacific region, thereby striving companies to strengthen supply chains to increase the direct customer reach and increase penetration in the regional market. New product portfolio and diversification in the existing product portfolio are expected to aid market growth.
