The humanoid robot industry is standing at a new historical starting point and is ready to take off. In this intelligent manufacturing revolution, key hardware components such as the robotic arm and dexterous hand of embodied robots have placed unprecedented demands on precision welding, which will also provide an excellent stage for handheld laser welding machines to showcase their skills.

02 Demand Evolution and Market Expansion

With the continuous improvement of welding process requirements in the manufacturing industry, handheld laser welding machines are expected to become one of the key technologies to meet the future development of the manufacturing industry. It is expected that in the next few years, the market size will continue to expand, and handheld laser welding machines will better adapt to changes in market demand, helping the industry transform and upgrade.

Development prospects of handheld laser welding machine market from 2024 to 2028

Compared with traditional argon arc welding methods, handheld laser welding has significant advantages in welding quality, operation, environmental safety, and cost in irregular welding fields such as household appliances, cabinets, and elevators. Taking the cost of use as an example, argon arc welding operators belong to special positions in China and need to hold certificates to work. Currently, the annual labor cost of a mature welder on the market is not less than 80000 yuan, while handheld laser welding can use ordinary operators, with an annual labor cost of only 50000 yuan. Calculated based on the efficiency of handheld laser welding being twice that of argon arc welding, it can save 110000 yuan in labor costs. And argon arc welding generally requires polishing after welding, while handheld laser welding machines require almost no polishing or only slight polishing after welding, which saves some labor costs for polishing workers.

Overall, the investment payback period for handheld laser welding equipment is around one year. With the current usage of millions of argon arc welding in China, there is a huge space for the replacement of handheld laser welding, which is expected to usher in a period of rapid growth for handheld laser welding machines.

Forecast of Demand for China's Handheld Laser Welding Machine Industry from 2024 to 2028

In the future, handheld laser welding machines will replace traditional argon arc welding and resistance spot welding in more scenarios. However, once the market stock of handheld laser welding machines reaches a certain scale, the demand growth rate will slow down. It is predicted that the product demand will reach 499500 units by 2028.
