Welding fume extraction equipment is designed to eliminate the fumes generated during metalworking processes such as welding and cutting to prevent excessive exposure to these fumes and gases.
The primary types of welding fume extraction equipment include mobile units, stationary units, and large centralized systems. Mobile units are typically equipped and designed for specific purposes, often installed in vehicles. These extraction systems find applications in various welding processes such as arc welding, resistance welding, laser beam welding, and oxy-fuel welding. They serve industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, energy, oil and gas, marine, among 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 welding fume extraction equipment market by increasing costs of imported motors, filtration systems, sensors, and electronic controls. Large centralized systems are most affected, particularly in asia pacific and europe where manufacturing hubs are concentrated. Higher equipment costs have influenced capital investments in automotive and heavy industries. However, tariffs are encouraging local production, modular system design, and sourcing of regional components.

The welding fume extraction equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.93 billion in 2025 to $3.12 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial welding expansion, automotive manufacturing growth, workplace safety regulations, shipbuilding activities, infrastructure development.
The welding fume extraction equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.01 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation in welding processes, stricter air quality norms, growth in electric vehicle manufacturing, expansion of aerospace production, rising worker health awareness. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of centralized fume extraction systems, increased demand for mobile extraction units, integration of smart sensors and monitoring, growth in automated welding environments, stricter workplace safety compliance.
Increasing construction activities are significantly contributing to the growth of the welding fume extraction equipment market going forward. Construction activities involve building, maintaining, and repairing infrastructure across various sectors. Welding fume extraction equipment is used to capture fumes produced during welding operations in construction, helping ensure a safe working environment for construction site workers, as welding fumes can lead to serious health issues such as lung disease and nerve damage. For example, in March 2023, Oxford Economics, a UK-based economic information services company, reported that the value of global construction work is expected to increase from $9.7 trillion in 2022 to $13.9 trillion by 2037, driven by major construction markets such as China, the U.S., and India. Therefore, increasing construction activities are driving the growth of the welding fume extraction equipment market.
Major companies in the welding fume extraction equipment market are focusing on developing innovative solutions to maintain their competitive edge. For example, in June 2024, Nederman, a Sweden-based environmental technology company, introduced the MCP-GO, a practical and cost-effective welding fume extractor featuring the company's well-known MCP SmartFilter technology. This compact, plug-and-play system incorporates advanced filtration capabilities and is designed for easy installation and user convenience. It offers a dependable clean air solution for manual and robotic welding, cobots, and thermal cutting processes. The MCP-GO is specifically engineered to capture and filter fumes generated during welding and laser cutting and can support up to five extraction points.
In April 2024, Weldclass Pty Ltd, an Australia-based provider of welding consumables, equipment, and safety solutions, acquired AllClear Fume Control from Excision Pty Ltd for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to strengthen Weldclass's welding-specific fume extraction product portfolio while supporting the broader growth of the brand. It also enhances safety offerings for Australian welders and fabricators as demand increases for compliant air filtration solutions in industrial welding environments. AllClear Fume Control is an Australia-based company specializing in mobile welding fume extraction units designed to capture and filter hazardous welding fumes.
