The global robotic welding market size was USD 6.9 Bn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 11 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 9.5% during 2023–2031. Rising demand for welding robots in the automotive industry is likely to boost the market.
Robotic welding is a process of welding that utilizes programmable robots to automate welding tasks. The robots are equipped with welding tools such as weld guns or torches and are programmed to move in a specific pattern to perform the welds.
Robotic welding offers several advantages over traditional welding methods. For one, it can significantly increase the speed and efficiency of the welding process. Robots can work continuously without the need for breaks, which can greatly reduce production time and labor costs.
Additionally, robotic welding can improve the quality and consistency of the welds. Robots are capable of performing precise, repeatable movements, which can help to ensure that each weld is consistent and of high quality. This can lead to fewer defects and a higher level of overall quality in the final product. Robotic welding is a highly effective and efficient way to perform welding tasks in a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.
The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic restrains the robotic welding market, owing to the absence of the workforce across manufacturing facilities. However, restrictions placed on transportation have led to a shortage of raw materials that are required for the production of advanced welding equipment.
