The market is being driven by the increasing adoption of Industry 4.0. The initiative calls for the digitisation of the manufacturing sector by the adoption of trends such as data and connectivity, analytics, human-machine interaction, and improvements in robotics. Welding plays a pivotal role in automotive production to join metal car parts, such as the body, chassis, and car panels, among others. This drives the deployment of robotic welding that helps in precise and mass production. Approximately 60 million vehicles are manufactured worldwide annually.
Furthermore, by enhancing the energy efficiency of welding robots, manufacturers can help end users perform green manufacturing. Electrical and electronics manufacturing often involves intricate components and connections. Robotic welding ensures precise and consistent welds, critical for maintaining product quality and reliability. These robots can achieve accuracy levels difficult to match with manual welding. The electronics manufacturing sector plays a vital role in the U.S. economy, accounting for 1.6% of GDP.

Global Robotic Welding Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034 offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
Market Breakup By Type:
Market Breakup By Payload:
Market Breakup By End User:
Market Breakup By Region:
Spot welding robots are expected to hold significant market share as they are widely adopted by the automotive industry
Spot welding robots dominate the robotic welding market share as they are used to manufacture car parts cost-efficiently, reliably, and quickly. Robots efficiently perform spot welding and add automation to the welding process.
Their dexterity helps them reach the workpiece from any orientation, which is crucial to orient the tool to the exact location where the welding needs to be performed. Spot welding using articulated robots finds use in automobile manufacturing to weld components, such as car chassis.
Arc welding robots featuring a slimmer profile and internalised cabling result in more efficient and optimised welding. Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) is a common application of robotic arc welding. Robotic GTAW is a precision welding method to weld thin metals and produce detailed and clean welds.
