Reports
India welding consumables market is expected to witness a decent CAGR of 6.4%, driven by infrastructure development, automotive manufacturing momentum, and upgrades in the manufacturing vertical in India. The fact that stick electrodes dominate all weld consumables with 46.0% of the market share is indicative of the price-conscious nature of the market and the extent of the construction and repair sectors' reliance on welding in developing urbanized areas.
Maharashtra retains a strong position in welding as it has a large industrial state share, contributing to 18.0% of the national share, due to industrial mixed sectors including automotive, engineering, and shipbuilding, thereby driving demand in greater volumes. ESAB India and Ador Welding, who are dominant suppliers, significantly shape the market leveraging volumetric advantages, substantial product offerings and capabilities, and distribution to retain high leadership positions in the overall consumables market.
The PLI plan from government and push for self-reliance through the “Make in India” initiative is likely to spur the adoption of technological and performance advancements in consumables - particularly flux-cored and MIG/TIG wires in fast-growing sectors.
India Welding consumables are critical in the welding process to join two or more metal parts for structural integrity and strength. These materials assist and give more strength to the equipment used for welding. The choice of consumable will depend on the type of metal being welded and the welding method. They determine the rate of deposition, arc stability, and filler material’s ability to resist corrosion and wear.
With the advancement of welding technologies, it is possible to manufacture consumables with the aim of attaining better efficiencies and accuracy as well as reducing environmental impacts. India Welding consumables are employed in a range of industries such as construction, automotive, shipbuilding, and energy. They have been a source of ingenuity where reliability and options are concerned with their services or properties.

India Welding Consumables Market Drivers |
|
The extensive infrastructure projects in the country significantly propel the demand for welding supplies. Government’s initiatives like Bharatmala Pariyojana (construction of >34,800 km of highways) and the Smart Cities Mission (>100 cities) generate significant demand for welding electrodes, filler wires, and fluxes. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways estimated of more than US$ 431.9 Bn investment on infrastructure development in FY2023, which is almost 30% more than it did in FY2022. The housing and urban development pillar targets to construct 11 million urban homes under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, which is boosting the need for structural welder consumables for India welding consumables manufacturers.
The rapid growth of India’s automotive and manufacturing industries is another vital factor driving the growth of the India welding consumables market. India is the world’s third-largest automobile market with vehicle production hitting 25.9 million during the forecast period. This is supported by strong domestic demand and exports.
India Welding consumables (MIG and TIG wires) are required to produce frames, chassis, and various critical automobile components. The “Make in India” initiative and Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme worth US$ 14.9 Bn is further promoting local production of electronic devices and military and heavy industrial equipment, which rely on welding technology.
India’s automotive exports witnessed a growth of 15% in the fiscal year 2023. This hike in exports further intensifies the demand for high-performance India welding consumables so that global standards can be met. Furthermore, India’s GDP is nearly 17% accounted for by the machinery and equipment manufacturing sector, which is increasingly embracing automated and robotic welding solutions. This change increases the demand for advanced welding wires and flux-cored products and the suppliers in this sector stand to gain a lot in aligning to the changes in the industry.
Stick electrodes account for over 46% of the market share. They are broadly used in railways, construction, and repair applications. Their easy application, suitability for manual welding, and capability to perform well even under suboptimal conditions or outdoors make them highly preferred in the infrastructure-driven Indian economy. Large-scale infrastructural projects such as the Bharatmala highway project and metro rail expansion in over 15 cities mainly rely on structural welding, where stick electrodes are broadly used.
