Plasma Welding Machine Market Share, Size, And COVID-19 Impact Analysis By Type (Transferred And Non-Transferred), By Operating Modes (Microplasma Welding (0.1 - 15A), Medium Current Welding (15 - 200A), And Keyhole Welding (Over 100A) ), By End User Industry (Machinery And Equipment, Aerospace And Defense, Automotive, And Other), By Distribution Channel (Online And Offline) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Plasma welding machines are used to melt workpieces with an arc, and later employ a high- temperature, high-velocity ionized gas to produce weld. Plasma welding or Plasma Arc Welding (PAW) is an upgraded version of the Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding process that finds application in aerospace, cryogenic, foodstuff and chemical, machine and plant construction, automobile, railway, ship construction, tank equipment, and pipeline construction industries. Better control, accuracy, precision, high-quality welding, ability to weld small parts, and long electrode life that results in high production. These are some of the reasons plasma welding machines are employed across such a wide range of industries.

Rapid technological developments are likely to propel market growth. positively furthermore industrial automation is expected to fuel the machine market. Various companies are making their place in the market strong by increasing their business to quicken the process fabrication technologies and of plasma welding. For example, in 2019 November, Air Liquide started its advanced manufacturing center at DIC in the U.S. This center will deal in electric and plasma arc cutting and welding in laser and additive fabrication, and in robotic and robotic welding, and is equipped with new state-of-the-art equipment and technology. Production of welding machine is anticipated to grow owing to this business expansion.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Plasma Welding Machine Market:

COVID-19 severely disrupted the manufacturing industry due to the sudden shutdown of       manufacturing plants, supply chain disruption, and labor shortages, affecting the production of plasma welding machines. Various industries utilizing plasma welding machines were able to sustain complete lockdowns for only a limited period, after which they altered their investment plans to survive the weakening economy. However, the lifting of lockdowns, large-scale vaccination drives, and reduction in COVID-19 cases reinitiated the production of plasma welding machines to pre-pandemic capacity starting in 2022, which helped the market recover.
