AbstractWelding technologies; automotive, transportation, steel construction, machine manufacturing, iron and steel sector, pipe sector, ship construction, power plants, mining sector, defense industry etc. has a strategic importance in many sectors. The role of welding as a locomotive in the industry is of great importance both for its development and its progress. Turkey, in accordance with the needs of the market, keeping up with constantly evolving technology, have high competitiveness, good quality and affordable welding wire, welding electrode, skilled electrodes, soldering wires and it can increase the export capacity by producing welding machines of various capacities. Due to the presence of large-scale welding wire and covered electrode producers in the domestic market with economies of scale, high tonnage raw material purchasing power, warehouse and storage capacities cause the iron-steel mills of the wire rod manufacturer to focus on these firms. Small and medium sized new entrepreneurs are ignored by these producers due to their insufficient purchasing and storage capacities. Therefore, new entrepreneurs cannot enter the market, causes prices in the domestic market are increasing. This increase leads consumer and manufacturer firms that demand low price products to Far Eastern companies' products. In the resource sector, while access to European standards and quality in Turkey, both producer and consumer reduce the competitive strength of the company. Reduce the share of Far Eastern products in the domestic market and large suppliers of wire rods to increase the production of materials such as welding electrodes, welding wires, solder wires, etc., must meet the reasonable demands of small and medium sized entrepreneurs. The market price balance of the welding consumables will be ensured thanks to the new small and medium sized new entrepreneurs. The new price balance, by reducing imports of far-eastern products has captured the European quality standards and will contribute to Turkey's exports of welding consumables.
