Saudi Arabia Welding Equipment Market Overview, 2028

Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, typically metals or thermoplastics, by applying high heat to melt the parts together and then cooling them to cause fusion. In addition to melting the base metal, a filler material is typically added to the joint to form a pool of molten material that cools to form a weld configuration-based joint. The construction industry in Saudi Arabia has been growing rapidly, with numerous mega-projects in the pipeline, such as the NEOM city, Red Sea Project, and Qiddiya entertainment city. The demand for welding equipment and consumables is expected to increase significantly to support the construction of these projects. Furthermore, the demand for lightweight materials such as aluminium and composites is increasing in Saudi Arabia, particularly in the automotive and aerospace industries. This has created a demand for welding equipment and consumables that can support the welding of these materials. In addition, the Saudi Arabian government has implemented several initiatives to support the growth of the manufacturing sector, including the Saudi Vision 2030 plan, which aims to diversify the economy and reduce dependence on oil. This has led to an increased demand for welding equipment and consumables to support the growth of the manufacturing sector. According to the research report "Saudi Arabia Welding Equipment and Consumables Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the Saudi Arabia Welding Equipment and Consumables market is projected to reach market size around USD 735 Billion by 2028. The automotive industry is expanding in Saudi Arabia, driven by the government's efforts to diversify the economy. The establishment of automobile manufacturing plants in the country has led to an increased demand for welding equipment and consumables. Furthermore, with the aging of infrastructure and equipment, there is an increased demand for repair and maintenance activities. This has created a demand for welding equipment and consumables for repair and maintenance purposes. Moreover, there is a growing awareness of environmental sustainability in Saudi Arabia, and many companies are adopting eco-friendly practices in their operations. This has led to an increased demand for welding equipment and consumables that are environmentally friendly. In addition, the healthcare industry in Saudi Arabia is growing rapidly, with the government investing heavily in building new hospitals and medical facilities. The demand for welding equipment and consumables in this industry is expected to increase significantly in the coming years.

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. In Saudi Arabia, there are several welding organisations. The Saudi Arabian Welding Society (SAWS) is one of them. It is a non-profit organization that promotes the welding industry in Saudi Arabia. It offers welding professionals and businesses training, certification, and other services. Furthermore, the Saudi Standards, Metrology, and Quality Organization (SASO) are in charge of developing and enforcing technical regulations and standards in Saudi Arabia, including those pertaining to welding equipment and consumables.
