A stud welding machine is a device designed to connect a metal stud to a metal piece by heating both components using an arc. Stud welding, a reliable fastening method, is widely employed in sectors such as manufacturing and metal production to securely attach metal studs to metal plates or sheets.
The main types of arc ignition in stud welding machines include capacitor discharge stud welding and drawn arc stud welding. Capacitor discharge stud welding involves storing electrical energy in a capacitor bank, which is then discharged through a stud to create an arc. The materials involved in this process comprise steel, aluminum, copper, and brass, and operations can be either automatic or semi-automatic. This technology finds applications in various industries, including automotive, shipbuilding, electric goods, construction, farming, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have impacted the stud welding machine market by increasing the cost of imported power electronics, welding components, control systems, and metal consumables used in stud welding equipment. Automatic and advanced drawn arc stud welding machines are most affected, particularly in Asia Pacific and Europe where component sourcing and equipment exports are significant. Higher equipment costs have influenced capital spending decisions across automotive, construction, and shipbuilding industries. At the same time, tariffs have supported local manufacturing by encouraging domestic assembly, supplier localization, and reduced dependence on imported welding machinery.

The stud welding machine market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $1.29 billion in 2025 to $1.35 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in automotive manufacturing, expansion of construction activities, increased use of metal fabrication, demand for reliable fastening methods, growth in shipbuilding industry.
The stud welding machine market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.63 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation in industrial welding processes, rising electric vehicle production, growth in infrastructure development projects, adoption of advanced welding control systems, demand for productivity enhancement in manufacturing. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of automated stud welding systems, growing demand for high strength metal fastening, shift toward lightweight material welding, increasing use in prefabricated construction, focus on faster and cleaner welding processes.
The anticipated growth in the construction industry is set to drive the expansion of the stud welding machine market in the coming years. Construction activities involve the creation of structures such as homes, factories, highways, and bridges. Stud welding machines play a crucial role in construction by providing a rapid, efficient, and versatile permanent bond between materials. As of June 2023, data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development revealed that privately owned home starts were underway at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,631,000. This marked a 21.7% increase from the revised April 2023 estimate of 1,340,000 and a 5.7% rise from the May 2022 rate of 1,543,000. Additionally, the number of privately owned home completions in May 2023 reached 1,518,000 on a seasonally adjusted yearly basis, reflecting a 5.0% increase over the May 2022 rate of 1,446,000 and a 9.5% surge from the revised April 2023 estimate of 1,386,000. Therefore, the burgeoning construction industry is a key driver propelling the growth of the stud welding machine market.
Leading companies in the stud welding machine market are intensifying their efforts to launch energy-efficient and connected stud welding machines, including Tuck stud welding equipment, to enhance their profitability. These energy-efficient connected stud welding machines are engineered to use less power while delivering high-quality welding outcomes. For example, in August 2023, Hilti North America, a U.S.-based construction tools firm, introduced the FX 3-A Cordless stud fusion system. This system significantly reduces welding time, operating 75% faster than conventional welding machines. It also features an Active Fusion Indicator (AFI) that provides installers with systematic real-time feedback to enhance the quality of fastening.
In August 2023, DAIHEN CORPORATION, a Japan-based electrical and electronic firm, acquired Lorch Welding Products Pvt. Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is expected to positively influence DAIHEN CORPORATION's presence in the European market. Lorch Welding Products Pvt. Ltd. is a Germany-based manufacturer of welding equipment.
