The global friction stir welding equipment market refers to the industry focused on the manufacture, advancement, application, and distribution of equipment and tools made particularly for friction stir welding. A solid-state joining method called friction stir welding is primarily utilized to combine dissimilar or similar metals by destroying them. This process generates welds that are strong and devoid of defects, which renders it especially valuable in sectors including electronics, automotive, shipbuilding, transportation, and aerospace. Key driving factors for the growth of the friction stir welding equipment market include the increasing demand for high-strength, lightweight materials in industries including transportation, aircraft, and automotive where structural integrity and fuel economy are essential. Because FSW can produce good welds without melting the base materials, it stands out as manufacturers search for more affordable and energy-efficient welding techniques. This reduces mistakes and the consumption of energy. However, low acceptance and comprehension of the technology, especially among nations that are developing. Due to acquaintance, infrastructure constraints, and a lack of training in more sophisticated processes like FSW, many manufacturers continued to use traditional welding techniques.
The fixed FSW equipment segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2023 and is projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
On the basis of type, the global friction stir welding equipment market is divided into fixed FSW equipment and robotic FSW equipment. Among these, the fixed FSW equipment segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2023 and is projected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The segment growth is attributed because the product is appropriate for large-scale industrial applications because of its exceptional stability, precision, and reliability. Its widespread use in production facilities is supported by its capacity to promote automation and ensure quality welds
The aerospace segment accounted for the highest revenue share in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
On the basis of end-user, the global friction stir welding equipment market is divided into aerospace, automotive, and railways. Among these, the aerospace segment accounted for the highest revenue share in 2023 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
