Huge investment in different industries and advancements in the building & construction sector are driving the aluminum casting market
The global aluminum casting market size is estimated at USD 70.4 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 100.5 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 7.4%, between 2021 and 2026. Aluminum casting is a type of metalworking process that involves pouring liquid metal into a mold or form. Aluminum casting is a variation of this that uses only aluminum and aluminum alloys as the liquid metal that is poured into the mold. Aluminum castings are used to make complex and detailed parts very efficiently. Traditionally, aluminum casting was achieved using a process called green sand casting. This involved the use of wet sand in the creation of casting molds. As a method, it was efficient and cost-effective, but not without its drawbacks. The die casting method of aluminum casting is ideal when large numbers of simple or complex castings are required. This casting process results in an aluminum casting with smoother surfaces and good dimensional accuracy. This means that less fettling and finishing is required.
The key players in the aluminum casting market are Alcoa Corporation (US), Ryobi Limited (Japan), Aluminum Corporation of China Limited (China), Rio Tinto (UK), United Company RUSAL (Russia), and others. The aluminum casting market report analyzes the key growth strategies adopted by the leading market players, between 2017 and 2021, which include expansions, mergers & acquisition, new product developments/launch, and collaborations.
