Die Casting Market - Share, Size and Industry Analysis

Die casting is a manufacturing method that uses reusable molds called dies to create geometrically complicated metal components. The metal, which is usually a non-ferrous alloy like aluminum or zinc, is melted in a furnace and then pumped into dies in a die casting machine. The technique is defined by pushing molten alloy or metal into a mold cavity under high pressure. Metals such as lead, zinc, magnesium, aluminum, copper, and tin-based alloys are used to make die castings.

The die casting market is growing due to an increase in demand for fuel-efficient, high-performance, and low-emission cars. Die casting machine demand is further boosted by an increase in machinery manufacturing sectors and an increase in building industry investments. The market's growth is likely to be restricted by raw material price volatility. In addition, there has been a number of improvements in the traditional high-pressure die casting techniques in the recent years. During the projected period, such aspects are likely to provide attractive growth prospects for market participants.

High pressure die casting (HPDC) technology is rapidly evolving to meet new market trends. This in turn is pushing the introduction of new die lubricant technologies into the die casting market. These new technologies provide higher productivity in die casting plants through their ability to help casters produce high-quality and complex castings at high die temperatures while reducing machine downtime.

China holds largest market share in automobile die casting industry. In early 2020 due to covid-19, the global economy and environmental laws had a significant impact on Chinese automobile exports. Recent regulatory changes throughout the world have had little to no influence on the rate of sales growth in 2019.

The Indian government has introduced 100% foreign direct investment (FDI) in the car and auto component sectors. As a result, several international firms have begun to construct facilities in the country to manufacture automobiles for both the domestic and worldwide markets. In India, the die casting industry is at a crossroad. Many companies have expressed interest in investing in the Indian market for electric vehicles as die casting are mainly used in automobile sector to make lightweight vehicles. Such growing opportunities in the automobile industry are expected to boost the market growth of global die casting market.

Global Die Casting Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

COVID-19 outbreaks and related shutdowns have impacted the die casting industry in numerous nations. In the first half of 2020, the pandemic's detrimental effects could be seen in the global industrial sector. As a result, the market's growth was limited by the reduction in production rates due to the pandemic-related interruptions in the first few months of 2020. After limitations were relaxed, the market regained its lost momentum by the end of 2020.
