Global Metal Casting Market Report

Competitive analysis such as market structure, market share by key players, player positioning, top winning strategies, competitive dashboard, and company evaluation quadrant has been covered in the report. Also, detailed profiles of all major companies have been provided. The market structure is fragmented with a large number of players operating in the industry. The volume of new entrants is moderate in the metal casting industry due to low product differentiation.

What is Metal Casting?

Metal casting refers to a manufacturing procedure wherein molten metal is poured into a mold and enabled to solidify into the desired shape. Its process involves several steps, including pattern making, mold making, pouring, solidification, and finishing. It can use a variety of metals, including iron, steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc. It is a complex process that requires skilled professionals and careful attention to detail, but it can be used to create high-quality metal products. It is used to create a wide range of products, including automotive parts, machinery components, tools, and decorative items. It assists in improving energy efficiency, lowering production costs, enhancing environmental quality, and creating innovative new cast products.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has caused a significant impact on the metal casting industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries. The lockdowns led to a reduction in demand for metal castings, and the travel restrictions made it difficult for manufacturers to transport raw materials and finished goods. Many metal casting factories were forced to shut down temporarily, causing a decline in production and sales. The closures had a ripple effect on the industry, which resulted in a shortage of critical components and delays in project timelines. This situation worsened as many countries that produce raw materials for the metal casting industry were also impacted by the pandemic, leading to supply chain disruptions. Furthermore, the pandemic also affected the workforce in the metal casting industry. Many workers fell ill with COVID-19, which led to labor shortages and production delays. This, coupled with social distancing protocols, made it difficult for factories to maintain normal operations. Despite the challenges, the metal casting industry adapted and implemented measures to cope with the pandemic. Many factories implemented remote work and virtual meetings to minimize the risk of infection, and some even repurposed their production lines to manufacture personal protective equipment (PPE) for healthcare workers.

Metal Casting Market Trends:

Metal casting is employed in the automotive industry for manufacturing components, including engine blocks, cylinder heads, crankshafts, transmission cases, covers, gears, control arms, rotors, calipers, fuel pumps, and fuel injectors. This, coupled with the increasing sales of luxury, hybrid, and electric vehicles (EVs) on account of rapid urbanization and inflating income levels, represents one of the major factors strengthening the market growth around the world. Moreover, there is a rise in the use of metal casting in the construction industry for producing building components, such as door handles, hinges, locks, balusters, railings, and staircases, that are made of brass, iron or aluminum materials. This, coupled with the growing construction activities in residential and commercial areas, is influencing the market positively. In addition, the increasing demand for renewable energy sources, such as wind turbines and solar panels, that requires metal casting for generating parts is favoring the growth of the market. Apart from this, the rising usage of metal casting in the manufacturing of aircraft, home appliances, and surgical equipment on account of its numerous advantages, such as improving energy efficiency, lowering the cost of production, and enhancing the quality, is contributing to the market growth.
