The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Friction Stir Welding Equipment Market Driver

An increase in the installation of the automated welding assembly line is the major driver influencing the friction stir welding equipment market growth. Various advantages of the automated assembly include reduced production cycle, increased accuracy, and labor-saving and increase in safety. Reduced production cycle time As machines are programmed for a specific task and work until it is stopped or reprogrammed, the production cycle times can be managed to provide the most efficient and consistent process.Increased accuracyThe programming of machines for specific parameters increases the accuracy in parts compared with human labor. This reduces the chances of errors. Automation also allows the addition and modification of several operations.Labor-saving and safetyThe efficiency of automated processes has reduced labor costs. This enables financial savings for both manufacturers and customers. Also, some production processes may be dangerous when done manually. The use of machines for such work increases the safety of employees.

Key Friction Stir Welding Equipment Market Trend

Enhancement in services offered by vendors is the major trend influencing the friction stir welding equipment market growth. End-user industries are undergoing many technological changes to increase their productivity. To support and meet the requirement of end-users, FSW manufacturers are improving their technologies. For instance, they offer services such as welding information management systems.Welding information management systemsWelding information management systems provide real-time data that help improve productivity and quality. They automatically collect and report arc starts, arc-on time, and quality performance based on amperage and voltage. Such systems help increase the competition between players. Such developments are expected to drive the global FSW equipment market during the forecast period

Key Friction Stir Welding Equipment Market Challenge

The need for huge investments in R&D of new welding technology is the major hindrance to the friction stir welding equipment market growth. Industries like automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, and railway, power, energy, and heavy machinery are focusing on upgrading technologies that will enhance their productivity, performance, and safety. The demand for technologically upgraded products of robotics, gantry systems, or work cells is increasing as they help speed up the production process, produce better quality products, and reduce the cost of production. For instance, manufacturers of automation systems are striving to manufacture robots with multipurpose welding applications. However, with maturing technology for welding robots, upgrading robotic sensors, sensing techniques, and industrial robotic welding systems for use in modern-day robotic techniques is a complex process. Also, offering these technologies at a low price is difficult because of the declining profit margins on robot sales. Although the automotive welding manufacturers are trying to improve the production processes, the R&D of advanced welding technologies requires huge investments.
