Based on product type, the market is divided into two sections: welding equipment and welding consumables. The welding equipment segment will hold a dominant position in this market in terms of market share during the forecast period, owing to the rising trend of automated machines used in various industries such as automotive and construction to join thermoplastics, metals, and others. The welding consumables segment has the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The high demand for customised solutions for joining dissimilar and non-metallic materials, as well as the rise in steel consumption, are all factors. Furthermore, this industry is now emphasising the use of simple and cost-effective solutions to protect the work piece from the outside environment. Consumables are gaining traction in this scenario because the raw materials used to manufacture them include copper, rutile, and aluminium, all of which have high tensile strength and antioxidant properties. Based on by Technology, the market is divided into Arc weldings and oxy-fuel welding . Arc welding is expected to gain prominence in the coming years due to the increasing adoption of fusion processes and the use of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) across various industries because it is a flexible and cost-effective process. Oxy-fuel welding technology has the highest CAGR from 2023 to 2028. Its growing use in industrial manufacturing applications The welding equipment and products used in this technology are highly cost-efficient, which promotes their implementation in welding fillet, butt, and lap joints with object thicknesses up to 5mm. Based on end users, the automotive segment will hold a dominant position in this market in terms of market share during the forecast period as the automotive industry is focusing on reducing the weight of vehicles by replacing metal parts with plastic, which requires high precision.

According to consumable, the market is divided into Stick electrodes, Solid Wires, Flux-cored wires, SAW wires and Fluxes, and Others (gases, rods, etc.). Among them, In 2022, the stick electrodes product segment held the most market share. Stick electrodes are becoming increasingly popular for welding a diverse range of components due to their ability to increase welding strength as well as their high corrosion resistance and tensile strength. During the forecast period, flux-cored wires have the highest CAGR. Flux-cored wires have greater deposition rates than other welding consumables, making them ideal for high-speed welding applications. This makes them popular in industries where productivity and efficiency are critical, such as automotive, construction, and shipbuilding. Based on equipment, electrodes and filler metal equipment have the largest market share. Electrodes and filler metal equipment are widely used in various industries, including automotive, construction, shipbuilding, and aerospace. They are essential for welding and joining different materials such as steel, aluminium, and stainless steel. The oxy-fuel welding industry has the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Oxy-fuel welding equipment is lightweight and portable, which makes it ideal for use in remote locations where electricity is not available. However, oxy-fuel welding produces a high heat input, which allows for quick welding and efficient fusion of the workpieces. This makes it suitable for welding thicker materials.

The Thames Tideway Tunnel is a major infrastructure project currently underway in London that involves the construction of a new sewer tunnel to reduce pollution in the River Thames. Welding is being extensively used in the construction of the tunnel, including the fabrication of steel segments and the welding of reinforcement bars. Furthermore, the UK government has announced plans to invest over £600 billion in infrastructure over the next five years, including major projects such as HS2 and the expansion of Heathrow airport. This investment is expected to drive demand for welding equipment and consumables. Moreover, the UK government has set ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, with a goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. This will require significant investment in renewable energy infrastructure, which will likely drive demand for welding in the construction and maintenance of wind turbines, solar panels, and other renewable energy infrastructure. In addition, some of the world's leading engineering companies, including Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems, These companies rely heavily on welding in the construction and maintenance of aircraft, ships, and other high-tech engineering projects, driving demand for welding equipment and consumables. Some of the top welding equipment manufacturers and welding consumables manufacturers in the United Kingdom include Lincoln Electric, ESAB Welding & Cutting Products, Kemppi , Fronius , Bohler Welding Group, Air Products, Weldability Sif , Parweld, Trafimet Group, Hypertherm and many more.
