Global Friction Stir Welding (FSW) Machine Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Friction Stir Welding (FSW) Machine market size was valued at US$ 264 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 380 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.5% during review period.

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process that uses a non-consumable tool to join two facing workpieces without melting the workpiece material. Heat is generated by friction between the rotating tool and the workpiece material, which leads to a softened region near the FSW tool.

Global key manufactuers of friction stir welding (FSW) machine include Grenzebach Maschinenbau GmbH, Nova-Tech Engineering, Beijing FSW, FOOKE GmbH, PaR Systems, etc. The top five players hold a share around 43%. Europe is the largest market, has a share about 35%, followed by Asia-Pacific and North America, with share 31% and 27%, separately.

FSW has become an irreplaceable key technology in the aerospace and defense fields with its unique advantages in lightweight material welding. With the vigorous development of commercial aerospace and the need to upgrade defense equipment, FSW technology will continue to evolve towards higher precision, wider material compatibility and intelligence, further consolidating its core position in the field of cutting-edge manufacturing.

In recent years, with the surge in demand for lightweight materials (aluminum/magnesium alloys, carbon fiber composites) in new energy (electric vehicles, aviation), rail transportation and other fields, FSW has become the preferred technology for welding lightweight structural parts due to its characteristics of no fusion welding defects and high joint strength. Stir friction welding is increasingly used in battery system-related components, motor housings and electronic control boxes, body frames and longitudinal beams, chassis, etc.

Hydrogen fuel storage tanks and hydrogen pipelines have extremely high requirements for welding quality, requiring both high strength of the weld to withstand high-pressure environments and excellent corrosion resistance of the material to resist hydrogen penetration and environmental erosion. In this context, stir friction welding (FSW) has become a key technology to promote the application of aluminum alloys in the field of pressure resistance and corrosion resistance with its unique advantages.

The development of FSW will be deeply bound to the needs of high value-added industries. Core technology breakthroughs and collaborative innovation across the entire industry chain are the key to its large-scale application. Driven by both policy support (such as the "dual carbon" goals) and market demand, FSW is expected to become one of the core welding technologies in the field of high-end manufacturing.
