The welding electrode and welding equipment sector refers to the firms that transmit energy or bind metals. Welding electrodes are an essential part of the welding process because they provide the heat required to fuse metals. By 2030, the size of the welding electrode market is projected to grow around USD 8.69 billion market from its estimated USD 5.45 billion in 2023 at a 7.9% compound annual growth rate.
The growth of the global manufacturing industry and increasing industrialization are fueling the demand for welding electrodes. Welding is necessary for the production of machinery, cars, and other equipment, which in turn increases the demand for welding electrodes. The use of welding electrodes is expanding in various industries, including construction, oil and gas, and automotive sectors. In the upcoming years, the market is anticipated to grow due to the high demand for low-hydrogen electrodes. The use of low-hydrogen electrodes lowers the possibility of cracking and other flaws in the welded joint by producing high-quality welds with a low hydrogen content. These electrodes are ideal for critical applications like pressure vessels, oil and gas pipelines, and nuclear power plants.
For example, Bohler Welding, a Voestalpine AG subsidiary, introduced a new line of low-hydrogen welding electrodes for the oil and gas sector in February 2021. The new electrodes are made to work exceptionally well in difficult conditions, like high-pressure and sour gas applications.
