The Chinese welding industry is in a critical stage of transformation and upgrading, presenting core characteristics


Technological iteration acceleration

Intelligent welding technology has become a mainstream trend, and leading enterprises have achieved deep integration of laser welding, robot welding, and the Internet of Things. Intelligent systems can adjust parameters in real time through visual sensors and AI algorithms, improving the welding qualification rate to a high level. The field of new energy vehicles is particularly prominent, with laser welding technology used for battery tray welding. A single production line can handle multiple specifications of battery cells, significantly improving the comprehensive utilization rate of equipment.  ‌


Promoting Green Manufacturing

The "dual carbon" goal promotes the industry's transformation towards low-carbon, and energy-saving intelligent welding systems optimize arc energy input and smoke purification technology to reduce unit energy consumption and emissions. The penetration rate of lead-free solder in the field of electronic manufacturing has exceeded 40%, and the market share of environmentally friendly materials such as low hydrogen welding wire continues to expand.  ‌


optimization of market structure

Top enterprises such as Harbin Welding Huatong and Atlantic Welding Materials dominate the high-end market through technological barriers, while small and medium-sized enterprises focus on differentiated competition in segmented fields. The regional distribution is characterized by "70% of the output is concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and the Bohai Rim", and the central and western regions benefit from the significant growth of infrastructure demand of the "the Belt and Road".  ‌


Urgent talent demand

Welders are still one of the "most in demand" occupations, especially for skilled personnel with welding technology for new and special materials. For example, the welding of core components of shield tunneling machines needs to solve technical problems such as welding of ultra thick plates and welding of dissimilar steels, but the relevant talent training system is not yet perfect.  ‌
