Characteristics of the welding industry in Europe UPDATE for 2020 - 2021 Main markets using welding and cutting of metals for construction Building and infrastructures - metallic construction Transport equipment - Train - Automotive - Ships - Aircraft Energy - Oil and gas processes - Pipe lines and pipe mills - Power plants (Coal, gas, nuclear) - Wind mills - Petrochemicals industry Equipment for other industrial processes (food industry, storage, tanks...), waste treatment Other mechanical equipment: earth moving, agricultural equipment, military equipment, construction of various machines Maintenance and repair Hobby Dynamics of the welding market Main TRENDS : - Automation of welding (and cutting) operations - growth of robotics sector - Lack of skilled welders - need for more trained welders / and more training - Construction of lighter structures with the use of higher-strength and lighter-weight materials, particularly steels and aluminium - Demands of higher levels of reliability and higher-quality requirements. - Developing countries with industrialisation and rapid urbanisation - Improving safety for welders / welding processes with less emission of fumes / individual protection / fumes extraction system - Welding 4.0 / data collection and treatment to improve productivity, repeatability and quality - Impact of European Directives on eco-Design , circular economy, EMF - Acceleration of energy transition ( energy , transportation, construction , manufacturing , heavy industry , agricultural sectors will be affected) - Long term steel consumption in Europe Specific situation of the welding Industry in Europe in 2020 In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic slashed the welding industry and the overall economic outlook across the EU .
