The robotic welding market size is projected to reach US$ 18.91 billion by 2031 from US$ 5.87 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 15.8% during 2023–2031. Industrial 4.0 to drive demand for industrial robots and increasing adoption of welding robots in automotive industries are likely to be the key drivers and trends of the market.
The robotic welding market is experiencing significant growth globally. This growth is attributed to the Industrial 4.0 to drive demand for industrial robots and the increasing adoption of welding robots in automotive industries. Moreover, the government initiatives to support digital transformation in APAC and the emergence of laser and plasma welding technologies are among other factors bolstering the growth of the robotic welding market.
Robotic welding is a method that helps the industrial sector automate its processes, increase accuracy, reduce lead time, and enhance safety. The robot welding process is considered to be the highest productive when it is implemented for high-volume and repetitive tasks. There are multiple types of robotic welding processes.
Automated sensing technologies allow robotic welders to adopt operations according to individual workpiece dimensions. This upgrades the quality of each weld while raising the speed of operations and, as a result, provides for higher throughput. Including these technologies in each weld cell helps to Monitor the weld operation and record the details for continuous process optimization, automatically adjust the weld robot’s parameters according to the workpiece monitor the weld operation, and record the details for continuous process optimization.
Along with automated sensing, the operational data acquisition and analysis of robotic welding systems are advancing at a rapid speed. As each weld needs a specific inspection to qualify the quality control process, these tools make it possible to prove the joint strength, seal of every seam, and weld penetration during the weld operation.
Arc tracking control systems can automatically identify faults and correct the weld operation to minimize rework that usually only surfaces during a secondary inspection. Additionally, these systems provide for Joint width and profile measurement during weld operation, joint edge detection, and tracking seam penetration during welds, controlling weld penetration according to the specifications.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the robotic welding market analysis are type, payload, and end user.
