Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 119.90 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.20% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by rapid industrialization under Vision 2030, fueling demand for automated welding solutions in mega-projects, alongside the need for precision and cost efficiency. Rising energy costs and sustainability goals are accelerating the adoption of inverter-based and portable welding machines, particularly in remote oilfields and renewable energy projects. Government support for advanced manufacturing and localized production is further augmenting the Saudi Arabia electric welding machine market share.

Saudi Arabia Electric Welding Machine Market Trends:

Increasing Demand for Automated Welding Solutions

The market is witnessing a growing demand for automated welding solutions, driven by industrialization and the need for precision in large-scale projects. With the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 emphasizing infrastructure development, industries such as construction, oil and gas, and manufacturing are adopting robotic and semi-automatic welding machines to enhance efficiency and reduce labor costs. Automated welding systems offer higher accuracy, faster production rates, and improved safety, making them ideal for projects such as NEOM, Red Sea developments, and pipeline expansions. In January 2025, Saudi Arabia launched 103 new plants and issued 63 industrial permits, attracting SR 900 Million (approximately USD 239.95 Million) in investment and creating 1,504 jobs imperative to its Vision 2030 goal of achieving 36,000 plants by 2035, of which 4,000 are completely automated. With a 1.3% year-on-year growth in industrial production and 4% growth in manufacturing, the development of the pipeline responds to the need for precision equipment such as electric welding machines. New licenses brought investment worth SR 1.2 Billion (approximately USD 319.93 Million), targeting industries such as petrochemicals, mining, and renewable energy. Additionally, government initiatives promoting local manufacturing and technology adoption are further accelerating this trend. As a result, welding machine suppliers are increasingly focusing on introducing advanced, IoT-enabled, and AI-integrated welding systems to cater to the rising demand for automation in Saudi Arabia’s industrial sector.

Shift Toward Energy-Efficient and Portable Welding Machines

The escalating shift toward energy-efficient and portable welding equipment is also supporting the Saudi Arabia electric welding machine market growth. Due to increasing energy expenses and environmental issues, industries are focusing on machinery that utilizes less energy while still delivering optimal performance. In 2023, the total energy consumption in Saudi Arabia stayed constant at 280 Mtoe, with per capita consumption at 7.5 toe and electricity at 9.2 MWh, reflecting high energy intensity in industrial processes. While production of crude oil fell by 9% to 542 Mt, the country remains committed to absolute energy independence and has set its sights on having a 50% renewable share in its power generation by 2030. All these advances, as well as plans to cut CO₂ emissions by 278 MtCO₂eq, indicate shifting energy policies that are affecting the need for efficient welding systems in various sectors in Saudi Arabia. Inverter-based welding machines are gaining popularity due to their lightweight design, fuel efficiency, and reduced carbon footprint compared to traditional transformer-based models. These machines are particularly beneficial for remote construction sites and oilfield operations where mobility and power savings are crucial. Furthermore, the increasing implementation of renewable energy initiatives, including solar and wind farms, is fueling the need for portable welding solutions that can function effectively in off-grid areas. Manufacturers are responding by innovating compact, battery-powered, and solar-compatible welding machines to align with Saudi Arabia’s sustainability goals and operational needs.
