Global Welding Wires Market Analysis

MIG welding wire is chiefly composed of base metal. It may include titanium, manganese, and silicon. The wire is generally coated in copper which, apart from helping decrease oxidisation during welding, may prevent rusting also. Applications of MIG welding include uses in aerospace, manufacturing, construction, custom fabrication, shipbuilding, automotive, and several other industries. Such applications are likely to boost the global welding wires industry growth.

The filler metal generally used for flux-cored wire is mild steel. However, other components may be included. Nickel is a commonly used alloy for such type of wire. Apart from filler metal, it includes a combination of fluxes, deoxidizers, metal powders, and other alloys.

Welding Wires Industry Outlook

According to the Office for National Statistics, in 2022, the total value of new work output in Great Britain's construction sector reached USD 169,765.80 million, reflecting a significant 15.8% increase from 2021. The private sector drove this growth with a 16.8% rise, contributing an additional USD 17,996.55 million, bringing its total to USD 124,881.47 million. The public sector also saw a 13.1% increase, adding USD 5,194.45 million to reach USD 44,939.42 million. New housing construction experienced the highest growth rate at 22.9%, with an additional USD 13,439.01 million, totalling USD 72,236.21 million. Within this sector, public housing projects grew by 23.3% to USD 7,912.48 million, while private housing rose by 22.8%, adding USD 11,944.05 million to reach USD 64,317.11 million. Increased infrastructure projects drive the demand for welding wires, essential in construction applications for joining metals, further resulting in driving the growth of the welding wires market revenue.

According to BP, in 2021, North America was the top global oil producer with a total output of 1,074.7 million tonnes, reflecting an annual growth rate of 1.8% from 2020. The United States was a major contributor, producing 711.1 million tonnes, which accounted for 16.8% of the global total. Mexico saw a 1.7% increase from 2020, reaching 96.5 million tonnes, while Canada produced 267.1 million tonnes, marking a 6.3% annual growth. In the CIS region, total oil production rose by 2.4% to 674.3 million tonnes. The Russian Federation led with 536.4 million tonnes, growing at an annual rate of 2.6%. Kazakhstan's production increased to 86.0 million tonnes, Azerbaijan produced 35.1 million tonnes, and Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan maintained stable outputs of 12.0 million tonnes and 2.7 million tonnes, respectively. The increase in oil production necessitates the extensive use of welding wires for pipeline construction, maintenance, and equipment fabrication, thereby boosting the welding wires industry revenue.
