Market Overview:
The global friction stir welding equipment for metal processing market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles, rising investments in aerospace and defense sectors, and growing railway infrastructure across the globe. Based on type, the global friction stir welding equipment for metal processing market can be segmented into desktop equipment, gantry equipment, and others. Desktop equipment held a major share of the market in 2017 owing to its low cost and easy installation. However, gantry equipment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period as it offers high welding speed and productivity.
Product Definition:
Friction stir welding (FSW) is a welding process that uses a non-consumable tool to join two or more pieces of metal. The weld is produced by the heat generated by friction between the tool and the metal being welded. FSW is used to join similar and dissimilar metals, including aluminum, brass, copper, steel, titanium and alloys. FSW produces high-quality joints with little or no distortion. The equipment used for friction stir welding includes a power supply, a drive mechanism for the tool, and a controller unit.
Desktop Equipment:
Desktop equipment is used in friction stir welding (FSW) of metal products to produce high strength weldments. The desktop equipment includes a variety of devices such as electric arc welding machines, gas metal-arc (MIG) and gas tungsten-arc (TIG) welding machines, electron beam hardening machines and induction heating systems.
The global desktop equipment market for FSW was valued at USD 1.6 billion in 2016.
Gantry Equipment:
Gantry equipment is used in friction stir welding (FSW) equipment for metal processing. It is a type of traveling or sliding device that holds the work piece and feeds it to the welding process. Gantry systems are also known as ways or frames. The gantry system includes a rail, which runs along the z-axis; this rail has several stations, each of which can hold a work piece stationarily during welding operations on it.
Application Insights:
The global market is segmented by application into aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, railways and others. In 2017, the railway segment accounted for the largest share in terms of revenue as well as volume. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for high-quality steel in construction of railway track and other infrastructure along with rising preference for friction stir welding among manufacturers of railway vehicles and equipment.
Automotive applications are anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising demand from countries such as China Japan South Korea Germany France U.K., Italy Russia Spain Uae etc., which are leading towards increased production levels across various vehicle types including passenger cars trucks Buses etc.
Regional Analysis:
Europe accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is characterized by stringent government regulations regarding environmental pollution and sustainable development. Increasing investments in R&D by various governments coupled with growing demand from end-users are anticipated to drive the regional market growth over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is projected to be one of the fastest-growing regions owing to increasing industrialization, especially in China, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Indonesia.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for lightweight and high-strength materials in automotive and aerospace industries
- Rising popularity of friction stir welding as a key manufacturing process for advanced composites
- Growing need for automated welding solutions to improve productivity and quality
- Proliferation of new applications for friction stir welding in construction, shipbuilding, and other industries
