Argentina Welding Equipment Market Overview, 2028

Welding is the most widely used joining process in industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical, consumer electronics, construction, and oil and gas. The type of energy distribution is critical in distinguishing between welding techniques. Trade between developed countries is gradually declining, and many emerging markets are competing for market space to export their industrial goods. The majority of these industrial products are created through welding processes. Welding equipment, consumables, and services are all part of the welding industry. Welding technologies are heavily used in industrial sectors to join manufactured products. Automation is becoming more important in the welding industry due to its ability to improve efficiency, quality, and safety. This is increasing demand for welding equipment and consumables that work with automated welding systems, such as robotic welding systems. Furthermore, the oil and gas industry in Argentina is a major user of welding equipment and consumables. The country has substantial oil and gas reserves, and the growth of this industry is increasing demand for welding equipment and consumables. Furthermore, in recent years, the Argentine government has made significant investments in infrastructure development, including transportation, energy, and telecommunications infrastructure. These projects necessitate a substantial amount of welding work, fueling demand for welding equipment and consumables.

According to the research report "Argentina Welding Equipment and Consumables Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the Argentina Welding Equipment and Consumables market was valued at more than USD 130 Million in 2022. Based on product type, the market is divided into two sections: welding equipment and welding consumables. The welding equipment segment will hold a dominant position in this market in terms of market share during the forecast period, owing to the rising trend of automated machines used in various industries such as automotive and construction to join thermoplastics, metals, and others. The welding consumables segment has the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The high demands for customised solutions for joining dissimilar and non-metallic materials, as well as the rise in steel consumption, are all factors. Furthermore, this industry is now emphasising the use of simple and cost-effective solutions to protect the work piece from the outside environment. Consumables are gaining traction in this scenario because the raw materials used to manufacture them include copper, rutile, and aluminium, all of which have high tensile strength and antioxidant properties.

The main organisation in the welding industry in Argentina is the Argentine Welding Association (Asociación Argentina de Soldadura, AAS). Founded in 1962, the AAS is a non-profit organization that aims to promote the development of the welding industry in Argentina through education, training, research, and technological innovation. The association also organizes conferences, seminars, and workshops on a regular basis, where members can share their knowledge and expertise with the wider welding community in Argentina. The AAS is affiliated with the International Institute of Welding (IIW) and works closely with other national and international organizations to promote best practices and standards in the welding industry. Furthermore, Some other organisations includes, Argentine Institute of Welding (Instituto Argentino de Soldadura, IAS), Argentine Chamber of Welding and Related Technologies (Cámara Argentina de Soldadura y Tecnologías Conexas, CASTC), Argentine Industrial Welding Committee (Comisión de Soldadura Industrial Argentina, COSIA), Argentine Association of Welding and Related Technologies (Asociación Argentina de Soldadura y Tecnologías Conexas, AASyTC), Argentine Institute for Welding Certification (Instituto Argentino de Certificación de Soldadores, IACS), Argentine Welding and Related Technologies Center (Centro Argentino de Soldadura y Tecnologías Conexas, CASTEC), Argentine Welding Engineers Association (Asociación de Ingenieros en Soldadura de Argentina, AISAR), Argentine Welding Technicians Association (Asociación de Técnicos en Soldadura de Argentina, ATSA) Argentine Welding Inspectors Association (Asociación de Inspectores de Soldadura de Argentina, AISA) and many more.

According to consumable, the market is divided into Stick electrodes, Solid Wires, Flux-cored wires, SAW wires and Fluxes, and Others (gases, rods, etc.). Among them, In 2022, the stick electrodes product segment held the most market share. Stick electrodes are becoming increasingly popular for welding a diverse range of components due to their ability to increase welding strength as well as their high corrosion resistance and tensile strength. During the forecast period, flux-cored wires have the highest CAGR. Flux-cored wires have greater deposition rates than other welding consumables, making them ideal for high-speed welding applications. This makes them popular in industries where productivity and efficiency are critical, such as automotive, construction, and shipbuilding.

Based on by Technology, the market is divided into Arc weldings and oxy-fuel welding . Arc welding is expected to gain prominence in the coming years due to the increasing adoption of fusion processes and the use of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) across various industries because it is a flexible and cost-effective process. Oxy-fuel welding technology has the highest CAGR from 2023 to 2028. Its growing use in industrial manufacturing applications The welding equipment and products used in this technology are highly cost-efficient, which promotes their implementation in welding fillet, butt, and lap joints with object thicknesses up to 5mm. Based on end users, the automotive segment will hold a dominant position in this market in terms of market share during the forecast period as the automotive industry is focusing on reducing the weight of vehicles by replacing metal parts with plastic, which requires high precision. Based on equipment, electrodes and filler metal equipment have the largest market share. Electrodes and filler metal equipment are widely used in various industries, including automotive, construction, shipbuilding, and aerospace. They are essential for welding and joining different materials such as steel, aluminium, and stainless steel. The oxy-fuel welding industry has the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Oxy-fuel welding equipment is lightweight and portable, which makes it ideal for use in remote locations where electricity is not available. However, oxy-fuel welding produces a high heat input, which allows for quick welding and efficient fusion of the workpieces. This makes it suitable for welding thicker materials.
