COVID-19 impact on global welding materials market
The welding materials industry was majorly impacted by COVID-19. In the initial stages of the pandemic, factories in several countries were forced to shut down as the governments implemented strict lockdowns to stop the spread of the virus. After the lockdown was lifted and restrictions were eased, welding material manufacturers were allowed to resume factory operations but at a limited capacity and under several rules and regulations.
The demand for welding materials also reduced as the majority of the demand is linked to the end-use industries, which are also facing difficulties operating during the pandemic. Many construction projects and activities, including government infrastructure projects, which were initially running, came to a complete halt due to the imposition of lockdowns. The construction industry, like many others, is labor-intensive. Mass unemployment in the construction industry led to widespread panic, leading laborers to return to their homelands to sit out the pandemic. Even after the easing of restrictions in several countries, construction companies are working with reduced finances, labor, and working hours, which are further going to delay project deliveries. The impact of the slowdown of the construction industry was felt by the welding materials industry as well. Apart from the shutdown of production facilities, the cancellation of several projects in the commercial and industrial construction sectors reduced the demand for welding materials in 2020.
The adverse effect of COVID-19 on the automotive industry also had a negative impact on the welding materials market. Major impacts on the industry were due to a disruption in Chinese parts exports, the closure of assembly plants in the US, and large-scale manufacturing interruptions across Europe. This is placing intense pressure on an industry already coping with a downshift in global demand.
Another industry that was majorly disrupted by the pandemic was the oil & gas industry. While the historic deal pulled off by OPEC+ to slash global oil production by 10% might put an end to the prolonged price war, it would not be enough to offset the havoc created by the pandemic. Concerns persist with an oversupplied crude oil market having stagnant demand from chemical and refined product industries. In a statement issued on February 28 alongside its FY 2019, the German chemical company BASF said that the viral infection could result in a second year of falling profit for the company and reduce global chemical production to about 1.2%. That would be the worst growth for the sector since the Great Recession in 2008 and a significant dip compared to 2019 when it grew 1.8%. The gas industry in the current context combines a supply shock with an unprecedented demand drop and a global humanitarian crisis. Natural gas has experienced its largest demand shock on record, with the pandemic hitting an already weakened market.
Welding Materials Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing demand from end-use industries
Welding is widely used in the transportation industry to manufacture various vehicle body parts and possesses the same strength as the materials being joined. In 2019, the transportation end-use industry constituted 34.42% of the total welding materials market. According to OICA (Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles), the global production of passenger cars amounted to 67.14 million. Although the production of vehicles saw a decline of approximately 5% in 2019 from 2018, there is still a large scope for growth of the welding materials market in this industry. Innovations and technological advancements in the automotive industry to cater to the growing demand from customers is expected to create a high demand for welding materials during the forecast period.
Welding materials also find applications in the building & construction industry, which is growing at a steady rate, especially in the emerging economies of India, China, and Brazil. In these countries, new infrastructural development projects are likely to drive the welding materials market.
The growing demand for welded steel for the construction of residential and commercial buildings is expected to drive the market during the forecast period. According to the Global Construction Perspectives and Oxford Economics, the global construction output is expected to grow by 85% and reach USD 15.5 trillion by 2030, with three countries – India, China, and the US leading the way and accounting for over 50% of the global growth. This growth in construction output will positively impact the market for welding materials.
Restraint: Environmental impact of welding materials
Welding gases accounted for 18.34% of the overall welding materials market in 2019. The physical properties of welding gases have a major effect on the welding speed, penetration, mechanical properties, weld appearance, fume generation, and arc stability. Shielding gases such as argon and carbon dioxide are important components in the fabrication processes of the automotive, aerospace, transportation, and construction industries. A large amount of greenhouse gases are generated during the welding process, wherein shielding gases such as carbon dioxide and argon are mainly used as welding materials. Shielding gases are used in many end-use industries such as automotive, building & construction, and power & energy in the welding process. Hence, the emission of greenhouse gases from the welding process has a significant impact on the environment. The excess CO2 emission into the atmosphere is tremendously impacting the atmospheric balance, causing global warming. The cryogenic process used to liquefy carbon dioxide and argon demands a large amount of electricity and accounts for most emissions. Argon gas production requires double the energy expenditure due to the need to cool it to a very low temperature; it, therefore, causes more emissions than liquefying carbon dioxide.
According to the International Energy Agency, in 2018, 47% of the global CO2 emissions were caused by industrial processes. Hence, to control this rising emission, several governing bodies and associations are imposing strict rules and regulations to cut gas emissions. For example, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Clean Air Act, is developing standards to reduce the emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Opportunity: New and advanced applications
Welding techniques such as laser welding and ultrasonic welding are witnessing increasing adoption, which, in turn, is propelling the welding materials market. These welding techniques have high efficiency and several advantages that make them suitable for numerous applications. These techniques are becoming increasingly popular in end-use industries where precision and accuracy of the joints have high importance, such as electric appliances, robotic appliances, and moving automotive parts. The demand for welding materials will be further propelled as welding is the only joining technique that can be used in space and underwater. Welding plays an important role in the repair of ships, pipelines, and offshore oil platforms. Underwater welding is also becoming an emerging technique in marine applications. Additionally, it is used by end-use industries in repair & maintenance operations. To reduce the weight of car bodies for lower environmental load substance and workability improvement, steel materials are required to have super high tensile strength and be able to deal with complex structures of parts with high performance. In the field of thick plates and steel pipes, the trend of mega-structural construction and high-efficiency transportation creates the demand for thick and high tensile strength steel products. To fully utilize such advanced steel products, the advancement of welding technologies is necessary. Various welding technologies have been developed and applied with the progress of steel materials. The transportation and automobile industries are among the biggest consumers of welding materials.
Challenges: Shortage of skilled labor and high labor cost
The welding industry is highly dependent on labor. According to industry experts, there is a shortage of skilled welders in countries across the world, and it is only getting worse as each year passes. This, coupled with the high labor cost in North America and Europe, is expected to act as a major challenge for the growth of the welding materials market. A number of infra-project contractors are using welding and cutting operators from China, India, Russia, and East European countries, as they face a shortage of skilled welding workforce. All projects related to infrastructure, roads, railways, bridges, power, and shipping are highly reliant on the right metal joining technology, which can only be successfully executed by trained and certified workforce. The Indian Institute of Welding (IIW) has estimated a short supply of 1.2 million welding professionals, including welders, cutters, fitters, equipment operators, and engineers and inspectors. IIW has petitioned the Union Ministry for skill development about shortfall on account of growth-led increased job openings and replacing the retiring workforce. The current shortage of 1.2 million welding professionals in India may increase to 1.35 million in the next three years.
The arc welding segment is projected to lead the global welding materials market through 2025
Arc welding has the advantage of high heat concentration during the welding process wherein an electric arc is produced in between the electrode & base materials that melt the metals. The major advantage of arc welding is the concentration of heat applied to a large surface that enables better welding by providing a depth of penetration, which ultimately reduces the welding time. Arc welding is the most preferred welding technology due to its low cost and can be applied to a wide range of metal surfaces.
The fluxes & wires segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR in the welding materials market during the forecast period
The fluxes & wires segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR in the welding materials market from 2020 to 2025. Flux is a chemical agent, which is used to clean a surface or can be used as a purifying agent. The flux material is used to dissolve the oxides by releasing gases that are trapped on the surface. Fluxes also help remove the impurities from the base metal surface that can further provide a good blending between the base metal and the filler material surface.
The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest share in the welding materials market during the forecast period
The increasing number of new housing units and huge investments in the infrastructural sector are also fueling the demand for welding materials in this region. According to the World Bank, APAC is the fastest-growing region in terms of both population and economic growth. The region has experienced significant growth in the last decade and accounted for approximately 34% of the global GDP in 2019. According to the Population Reference Bureau, China, India, and other emerging APAC countries had a combined population exceeding 4 billion in 2019, which is projected to become an increasingly important driver for global consumption over the next two decades.
