Metal Inert Gas (MIG) Wire to Hold Lion’s Share

The welding wires market on the basis of type is segmented into metal inert gas (MIG) wire, tungsten inert gas (TIG) wire, and Others. MIG wires segment is expected to witness high demand during the forecast period owing to its increasing demand in the arc welding process. MIG wires are manufactured using various raw materials namely stainless steel, nickel alloy, aluminum, cobalt, and others, providing high tensile strength for the welding process. MIG wire serves as both heat source and filler metal for thin sheet and thick section components welding. MIG accounts for more than 50% of its usage in most industrial sectors as it offers flexibility and is suitable for mechanization.In addition, The tungsten inert gas (TIG) wire, and Others segment is expected to witness considerable growth during the forecast period.
