Welding Gas Market Outlook (2024 to 2034)

The global welding gas market is valued at US$ 3.61 billion in 2024. Moreover, worldwide demand is projected to accelerate at a decent CAGR of 5.4% and reach a worth of US$ 6.08 billion by the end of 2034.

Surging demand for manufacturing and construction work in smart cities is contributing to the increased sales of welding gases. Accelerating requirements for welding procedures, such as metal arc welding, welding, and tungsten metal arc welding are contributing to the growing sales of welding gases. Thereby, an expansion of the construction and manufacturing sectors is stimulating demand for welding gases or shielding gases around the world.

Welding procedures are becoming more prevalent in the construction industry, mostly due to the requirement for long-lasting structural integrity and the intricacy of architectural designs becoming more sophisticated. For metal constructions to have strong, long-lasting joints, welding is required. This is important since modern construction projects frequently use cutting-edge materials and design ideas.

In addition, the increasing number of infrastructure development projects including high-rise buildings, bridges, and public spaces calls for the use of sophisticated welding processes to satisfy architectural and safety requirements. Due to this, there is now a greater need than ever for qualified welders as well as specific welding supplies and tools, which has a direct impact on the demand for welding gases.

Welding gas often named a shielding gas is an inert or semi-inert gas in nature used in numerous welding processes commercially. Welding gases are primarily used to protect or shield the welding area from foreign gases & particles such as water vapor, moisture, and the mixture of nitrogen, hydrogen & oxygen gases in the atmosphere.

The reaction of these particles with the weld pool creates numerous types of problems such as excessive spatter & inclusion of small holes in the weld pool, which leads to porosity. Apart from the above-mentioned attributes, major welding gases also play a vital role in defining weld penetration activity, and the mechanical strength of the finished weld pool and also provide stability in the welding arc.

Commercially there are numerous welding gases available in the marketplace named carbon dioxide, hydrogen, acetylene, helium, oxygen, and argon among others. These gases are used in their purest form i.e. single alone or are used in binary form i.e. the combination of the two welding gases such as argon-helium, argon-carbon dioxide, and argon-oxygen to name a few. In numerous high-end applications the ternary form is used i.e. argon-carbon dioxide- helium mixture.

In the above-said welding gases, carbon dioxide is the most common welding gas finding penetration in numerous applications. In addition, carbon dioxide is one of the most stable welding gases used in its purest form. In its purest form carbon dioxide as a welding gas provides deep weld penetration, which is helpful in the welding of thick materials.

Certain factors need to be taken care of while selecting the welding gas such as finished weld properties and the overall cost of the welding gas. These welding gases are adopted and find application in all types of welding procedures such as laser welding, metal arc welding, fluxed cored welding & oxy-fuel welding among others.
