Robotic welding, also known as automated welding, is a process of fusing two materials together using mechanized programmable instruments that heat, mix, and cool metal materials. It ensures that weld integrity is enhanced with consistent results for fast quality welds while reducing human errors, fatigue and distractions that may cause defects. As it helps in more accurate and precise welding, there are fewer scrap metals and wastes with robotic welding compared to manual welding. In addition, it performs different welding processes with less manpower and without the need for hiring additional staffing for production. As a result, it finds extensive applications in automotive, electronics, aerospace, defense, construction, and mining industries across the globe.
Due to reduced intensive labor injuries, improved order fulfilment speed and accuracy, and increased uptime with reduced costs, there is a rise in the utilization of robotic welding around the world. This, along with the growing demand for robotic welding to enhance the efficient use of working space and improve the supply chain performance in end-user industries, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to improve the functions and benefits offered by robotic welding. This, coupled with the rising customization of robotic welding for several requirements, such as cloud-based operations and remote monitoring, along with effective physical stature for improved compatibility with the human workforce, is positively influencing the market. Additionally, the increasing employment of robotic welding in the automotive industry for resistance spot welding and arc welding in high production applications is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Besides this, robotic welding requires minimal hard tooling as they are reprogrammable, which is projected to bolster the market growth.
