Global Ultrasonic Welding Systems Market: Overview

To form a solid-state weld between the components that are being held together under pressure, ultrasonic welding uses high-frequency ultrasonic acoustic vibrations that are locally applied. It is frequently used for connecting metals and polymers, particularly when the two materials are different. In ultrasonic welding, the materials are joined together without the need of connecting bolts, nails, solder, or adhesives. Because the temperature is kept much below the melting point of the metals being joined, any undesirable qualities that would result from the metal being exposed to high temperatures are avoided. The market growth of ultrasonic welding systems is being driven by the rising automotive industry, growing adoption in electronics, increasing medical device manufacturing, and advancements in the packaging industry.

Global Ultrasonic Welding Systems Market: Growth Drivers

The increasing automotive sector drives market growth

Ultrasonic welding systems have found extensive applications within the automotive industry due to their ability to provide reliable and efficient joining solutions for various materials used in automotive manufacturing. The application of ultrasonic welding in vehicles is in plastic component assembly, exterior components, electrical & electronics components, and air intake & filtration systems. Thus, the ultrasonic welding system market demand is driven by the growing automotive industry. For instance, according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, from 30,69,523 to 38,90,114 units were sold overall as passenger vehicles. In FY-2022–23, sales of Passenger Cars climbed from 14,67,039 to 17,47,376, Utility Vehicles from 14,89,219 to 20,03,718, and Vans from 1,13,265 to 1,39,020 units, all compared to the prior year. Furthermore, from 7,16,566 to 9,62,468 units were sold overall in the commercial vehicle category. In FY-2022–23, sales of Light Commercial Vehicles climbed from 4,75,989 to 6,03,465 units while those of Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles increased from 2,40,577 to 3,59,003 units compared to the prior year.

Restraints

Material compatibility acting as a major restraint to the market growth

Only materials that can transmit ultrasonic vibrations may be joined using ultrasonic welding, which is very effective for connecting polymers and some metals. Certain businesses may be unable to employ this technique because some sophisticated materials and composites may not be appropriate. Therefore, material compatibility is expected to be a major restraining factor for the ultrasonic welding system industry over the projection period.

Opportunities

Growing product launches offer a lucrative opportunity for market growth

The growing product launches are expected to offer a lucrative opportunity for global ultrasonic welding systems market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in January 2022, Emerson unveiled a brand-new ultrasonic metal welder for connecting wire terminations, conductors, and bigger batteries. For the larger welds needed by electric vehicles, batteries, and energy storage systems, Emerson's new BransonTM GMX-HP ultrasonic metal welder combines increased power and downforce with a modular equipment design and features that make installation and automation for machine builders and manufacturers easier. Increased weld power is provided by a large 8-kilowatt, 20-kilohertz power supply in the new GMX-HP. A direct-press actuator that transmits welding power and has precise distance sensors, twin linear bearing guides, and a dynamic pressure trigger provides more part-holding downforce and the high stability required for consistent weld quality. Thereby, driving the market growth.

Challenges

Limited thickness and complex joint designs pose a major challenge to market growth

The best materials for ultrasonic welding are those that are thin to medium thick. Heavy-duty applications are limited by the challenge and the need for specialist equipment associated with welding very thick materials. Additionally, even though ultrasonic welding is adaptable, it might not be appropriate for excessively intricate joint designs or inaccessible places. Alternative welding techniques or human work may be necessary in such circumstances. Thus, this is expected to pose a major challenge to the market growth.
