India Welding Consumables Market to Reach US$ 2.4 Bn by 2035, Growing at 6.4% CAGR | Transparency Market Research

India welding consumables market to double by 2035, driven by infrastructure, automotive growth, and “Make in India” initiatives.

WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, September 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Indian economy is undergoing rapid industrial transformation, powered by ambitious infrastructure projects, a thriving automotive sector, and rising manufacturing competitiveness under the government’s “Make in India” initiative. Welding plays a pivotal role in this transformation, and welding consumables form the backbone of every welding operation by ensuring durability, strength, and efficiency.
The India welding consumables market was valued at US$ 1.2 Bn in 2024 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2025 to 2035, reaching US$ 2.4 Bn by 2035. Analysts highlight that the market’s growth is strongly driven by infrastructure development, increased adoption of advanced welding technologies, and the expansion of automotive and heavy engineering industries.

Market Overview: Welding consumables include electrodes, wires, and fluxes that enable the welding process by acting as filler material or stabilizers. They are indispensable in industries such as construction, automotive, energy, shipbuilding, and engineering. The choice of consumable depends on the base material, welding method, and performance requirements.
India’s dependence on welding consumables has intensified with mega infrastructure projects like Bharatmala Pariyojana (highways) and the Smart Cities Mission, alongside booming automobile production and exports. The market is currently dominated by stick electrodes, which account for 46% of the total market share, largely due to their affordability and suitability for diverse applications in construction and repair.

Key Drivers of Market Growth

1. Rapid Infrastructure Development and Urbanization
India’s infrastructure boom is one of the strongest catalysts for welding consumables demand.
• Bharatmala Pariyojana: Over 34,800 km of highways under construction.
• Smart Cities Mission: More than 100 cities under development.
• Housing Push: Construction of 11 million urban homes under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways allocated over US$ 431.9 Bn in FY2023, representing a 30% jump from FY2022. Such investments demand structural welding consumables, ensuring strong growth across electrodes, wires, and fluxes.

2. Expanding Automotive and Manufacturing Sector
India has emerged as the third-largest automobile market globally, producing 25.9 million vehicles annually. Welding consumables are essential for frames, chassis, and critical components. Exports surged by 15% in FY2023, prompting demand for MIG and TIG wires that meet international standards.
Additionally, the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, worth US$ 14.9 Bn, is boosting local production of defense, electronics, and heavy machinery, all of which depend heavily on welding technologies.

3. Policy Push: “Make in India”
Government initiatives emphasizing self-reliance are creating fresh opportunities for local players. The PLI scheme, coupled with technological upgrades in consumables (flux-cored and high-performance wires), is fostering adoption in high-growth industries such as aerospace, defense, and renewable energy.
