Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Welding products are used in the welding process. Welding is a fabrication process used to join metals or thermoplastics by melting the parts with high heat. Welding professionals use welding supplies. The most common welding techniques are arc welding, oxy-fuel welding, laser beam welding, and resistance welding. Resistance welding is the joining of metals that is accomplished by applying weight and passing current through the metal region to be joined for a period of time. Resistance welding machines are designed and built for a wide range of medical, aviation, and modern applications.

Resistance Welding Products Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Expansion of Construction Sector

The rapid expansion of the construction sector and infrastructural development of backward areas particularly in developing economies are expected to drive the growth of the resistance welding products market. The construction industry is very diverse, encompassing activities such as infrastructure, buildings, and maintenance. Welding is mostly used in the fabrication of metal structural frameworks. Welding is used to join trusses, footers, steel I-beams, and columns that support the walls, roof, and floors of a building. For instance, the global construction sector is expected to grow to $8 trillion by 2030, according to the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), a US-based technology company. As a result, the rapidly expanding construction sector propels the growth of the resistance welding products market.

• High Demand Across End Users

The growing utilization of the resistance welding products across the various end user industries is estimated to carve a way for the growth of the market. Resistance welding's widespread adoption in the automotive for various manufacturing processes is expected to drive the resistance welding equipment market. The global market is being driven by the high utilization in the end use industries.

• Resistance Welding Products Offer Various Advantages

Resistance welding has many advantages because, unlike arc and gas welding, no training is required to improve the welder's skill. It is appropriate for high-volume production of low-cost products in a short period of time. As a result of its short duration, less heat is transferred over the work piece's non-work area. Furthermore, no filler metals or consumables are required for joining or welding metal sheets and components, and the process is environmentally friendly and clean. These determinants are expected to drive the resistance welding equipment market during the forecast period.

Furthermore, its suitability for high-volume and low-cost production will propel the market even further. . End-user industries prefer semi-automatic and automatic resistance welding equipment to manual resistance welding equipment due to their ease of operation and time savings. For the fabrication of pipe, tubing, and smaller structural sections, the steel industry employs semi-automatic and automatic resistance welding equipment.

Opportunities

• Technological Advancement and Surging Trends

Furthermore, the technological advancement in welding products coupled with the surging trends of joining dissimilar and non-metallic materials extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. Additionally, the surging trends of joining dissimilar and non-metallic materials will further expand the future growth of the resistance welding products market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Drawbacks of Resistance Wielding Products

Resistance welding equipment costs more than arc welding equipment. It is a major factor that may stymie the growth of the resistance welding equipment market. Resistance spot welding has low fatigue and tensile strength and restricted movement on the assembly line. These are some of the other factors impeding the growth of the resistance welding equipment market.

• Requirement of High Power

The resistance welding products require a high power source to generate enough heat to melt the joint and to generate a stable arc and metal transfer, and due to ease and convenience with which the required high current at a low voltage can be obtained using a transformer, AC power is used for resistance welding.  This factor will challenge the resistance welding products market growth rate as a challenge.

COVID-19 Impact on Resistance Welding Products Market

The recent outbreak of coronavirus had a negative impact on the resistance welding products market. The severe disruptions in various manufacturing, as well as the supply-chain operations due to the various precautionary lockdowns, led to huge financial setback for the market. The governments have halted various business activities in order to reduce the spread of novel viruses.. Furthermore, the pandemic has had a rapid and severe impact on the global automotive industry, resulting in disruptions in Chinese part exports, large-scale manufacturing disruptions across Europe, and the closure of assembly plants in the United States. As the resistance welding products market largely relies on automotive and the building and construction sector, it is also estimated to have a direct negative impact.

On the brighter side, the government gave an allowance to most construction activities as well as the other industries to resume selective operations with certain policies and regulations after the first phase of lockdown in most countries. This helped market to overcome the financial setback and therefore, the market is estimated to expand and the pre-pandemic levels.
