welding is the welding process that uses fuel gases and oxygen to weld or
cut metals. The rapid urbanization along with growing manufacturing sectors in emerging
economies are driving the market growth for welding products during the
forecast period. The growing demand from end-use industries such as automotive,
construction, heavy industries, and manufacturing are driving the market growth
for wielding products. Growing renovation activities in the construction
industry are also supporting the market growth during the forecast period. The growing infrastructure activities in developing
nations such as China, India, Japan, and Australia are also propelling the
market growth during the forecast period. However, the lack of skilled workers
and the environmental impact of welding gases are likely to hamper the market
growth during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting
different industries; one of the few industries that were largely hit to some
extent was the welding products industry. The demand for welding products also reduced
as the majority of the welding products are linked to the end-use industries,
which are also faced difficulties during the pandemic. The downfall in the construction
and manufacturing industries and lack of workforce impacted the market
negatively during the covid-19 crises.
