The rise in construction activities is playing a significant role in the growth of the welding fume extraction equipment market in the future. Construction activities encompass the business and manufacturing sector focused on building, maintaining, and repairing infrastructure. Welding fume extraction equipment is essential for capturing fumes produced during welding operations in the construction industry, ensuring a safe working environment for construction site workers, as welding fumes are linked to serious health issues such as lung disease and nerve damage. For example, in March 2023, data from Oxford Economics, a UK-based economic information services company, indicated that the value of construction work is expected to increase from $9.7 trillion in 2022 to $13.9 trillion by 2037, driven by significant construction markets in China, the U.S., and India. Therefore, the rise in construction activities is propelling the growth of the welding fume extraction equipment market.
The expanding global automotive industry is anticipated to be a significant driver of the welding fume extraction equipment market. This industry includes the design, development, manufacturing, and sale of various vehicles, such as automobiles, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles. The automotive sector heavily relies on welding processes, including robotic welding for intricate designs and precise components, resulting in a greater adoption of centralized welding fume extraction equipment. This trend is motivated by the need to adhere to health and safety workplace regulations and to minimize the risks associated with exposure to hazardous fumes, in line with the strict regulations established by numerous regulatory bodies. Consequently, the demand for welding fume extraction equipment within the automotive industry is expected to play a crucial role in the market's growth. For example, in May 2024, data from the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, revealed that SUVs accounted for 48% of global car sales and reached a new record in 2023, further enhancing their popularity in the automotive sector. Sales of SUVs in advanced economies exceeded 20 million in 2022, achieving a 50% market share for the first time, with over 360 million SUVs on the roads worldwide. This expansion in the automotive industry will boost the welding fume extraction equipment market.
Product innovation is a key trend gaining traction in the welding fume extraction equipment market. Leading companies in this sector are concentrating on delivering innovative solutions to maintain their competitive edge. For example, in June 2024, Nederman, a Sweden-based environmental technology company, introduced the MCP-GO, an effective and cost-efficient welding fume extractor that utilizes its well-known MCP SmartFilter technology. This compact, plug-and-play unit incorporates advanced filtration technology and is engineered for straightforward installation and user-friendliness, offering a dependable clean air solution for manual and robotic welding, cobots, and thermal cutting processes. It is specifically designed to capture and filter fumes generated during welding and laser cutting, with the capacity to support up to five extraction points.
Major players in the welding fume extraction equipment market are strategically focusing on launching new products to meet customer demands. Fronius International GmbH, an Austrian photovoltaic manufacturer, exemplifies this approach with the introduction of the user-friendly Exento extraction welding torch and two mobile, high-performance Exento extraction systems in December 2022. These new extraction solutions, comprising the ergonomically designed Exento fume extraction torch and the compact, mobile high-vacuum extraction system ExentoHighVac, offer effective protection against welding fumes. The coordinated duo addresses the demand for user-friendly and efficient welding fume extraction solutions.
In July 2022, Nederman, a Sweden-based industrial air filtration company, strategically expanded its market presence by acquiring RoboVent for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition positioned Nederman as a major player in the US weld fume extraction market. RoboVent, a US-based air filtration and industrial ventilation company, specializes in providing welding fume extraction equipment. The strategic move enhances Nederman's capabilities and market share in the welding fume extraction equipment sector, reinforcing its position as a key player in the industry.
