avatar
MarketsandMarkets™

The robotic welding market (with peripherals) size is projected to reach USD 11.7 billion by 2026 from an estimated USD 7.1 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2021 to 2026. The intensifying adoption of Industry 4.0 principles and the increasing adoption of welding robots in the automotive and transportation industries are among the factors driving the growth of the robotic welding market.


The spot welding segment projected to hold the major share of the robotic welding market, in 2026.

The spot welding robots segment is projected to hold the largest share of the robotic welding market in 2026. Robotic spot welding, depending on the payload, offers significant advantages in the form of low-space requirements, heavy machine lifting (including welding guns and metal sheets), and strong, accurate, and high-quality welds. All these factors lead to the preference for robotic spot welding. This welding type is particularly useful for heavy-duty applications in automobile manufacturing. It is also used in the metals and machinery, as well as electronics and semiconductors industries that require highly precise welding.

51–150 kilogram payload segment of the robotic welding market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during forecast period

The 51–150 kilogram payload segment of the robotic welding market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2021 to 2026. Welding robots with 51–150 kilogram payloads are considered medium-payload welding robots. These robots can be floor-mounted, which helps save space in manufacturing facilities. They can be used in metals and machinery, electrical and electronics, pharmaceuticals, construction, and aerospace and defense industries. KUKA AG, ABB, and NACHI-FUJIKOSHI CORP. are among the key players offering medium-payload arc and spot welding robots.


The automotive and transportation segment of the robotic welding market is projected to account the largest share in 2026

The automotive and transportation segment is projected to capture the largest share of robotic welding marketin 2026. The automotive and transportation industry is highly dynamic and hence, requires significant manufacturing flexibility from automotive manufacturers. The intensifying global competition between various automotive manufacturers and the increasing demand for automotive require smart production solutions combined with flexible logistic systems. Robotic welding has been the leading application of robots in the automotive and transportation industry for a long time, as every vehicle requires a high number of welds before it is complete. Robotic welding enables the development of accurate and high-quality finished products, increases productivity, and enables high machine efficiency and manufacturing flexibility. Thus, the automotive and transportation industry is the largest end user of welding robots.


By region, APAC to hold the largest share of the robotic welding market throughout the forecast period

APAC is projected to account for the largest share of the overall robotic welding market in 2026. The market in this region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2021 to 2026. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), China accounted for ~30% of the global manufacturing output in 2020. The country has maintained its position of being the largest manufacturing hub in the world. Thus, the key players in the robotic welding market are expanding their business in China. Inaddition, according to Hyundai Robotics, the country had the largest robot market in the world, with an annual unit of 130,000 robots in 2019. This led the company to plan the expansion of its business in China by enhancing its local sales network and discovering dealers, along with attracting new customers using its corporate relations in the country.
