Market Overview

---

Die casting is an automated casting process wherein metal parts of specific shapes are produced by pouring molten material into a mold under pressure.

The market size of the Die Casting Market is projected to grow from USD 77.99 billion in 2023 to USD 105.55 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 6.24% during the forecast period (2023-2028).

The COVID-19 outbreak had a negative impact on the manufacturing industry, causing disruptions in the supply chain as major economies went into lockdown. Manufacturing units and OEM plants were compelled to suspend production and operations during this period. As economies slowly recover, the market has witnessed a surge in demand for die-cast parts, particularly in the automotive industry due to a shift in consumer preference towards lightweight vehicles. This trend is expected to persist and drive market growth.

In the medium term, the die-casting market is primarily driven by supply chain complexities in the die-casting industry, the expanding automotive market, increased adoption of die-casting parts in industrial machinery, growth in the construction sector, and the utilization of aluminum casts in electrical and electronics. The implementation of Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFÉ) standards and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) policies aimed at reducing automobile emissions and improving fuel efficiency have prompted automakers to reduce vehicle weight by incorporating lightweight non-ferrous metals. Consequently, the adoption of die-cast parts for weight reduction purposes serves as a significant driver in the automotive segment.

The increasing demand for aluminum die-casting parts in the electrical and electronics industry, driven by their high thermal conductivity, is expected to contribute to market growth during the forecast period. However, challenges such as limited raw material supply, price volatility of raw materials, and environmental regulations pertaining to emissions in the metallurgy industries hinder market growth.

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the die-casting market, primarily due to the growing demand for automobiles in countries like China and India, as well as the increased usage of aluminum die-casting across various applications. North America is also anticipated to experience significant growth in the aluminum die-casting market, driven by increased output from the construction and automotive sectors.
