Market Insights

Aluminum is among the most commonly used non-ferrous metals and has an immense range of applications in transportation, packaging, and a number of other consumer goods. The metal has low density, is easy to work with and is highly durable as well as corrosion resistant. Casting is used to form shapes and various other designs for the manufacturing of a number of items. The global aluminum castings market is poised to witness market appreciation at a CAGR of 7.56% during the review period ranging from 2023 to 2030. Market Research Future's latest report covers important ground in reference to the global aluminum castings market and has recorded a revenue of USD 59.6 Bn in 2016. At the above-mentioned growth rate, the market is on track to generate a revenue of USD 92.8 Bn by the end of 2030.

Aluminum has several key uses in automobile parts as well as in consumer appliances. aluminum casting products are used most commonly in the production of pistons, engine parts and several other important parts in automobiles. The automotive sector is growing at a rapid pace due to urbanization and the increase in disposable income has gone a long way in supporting the astounding growth of the automotive industry. Several small consumer appliances also make intensive use of aluminum castings. Urbanization has been found to be responsible for the growing demand for consumer appliances, which is likely to impact the aluminum castings market in a positive manner. Aluminum is also an important structural metal which has extensive uses in building & construction activities. Demand for aluminum castings in the construction sector is likely to grow due to similar reasons as increased demand for aluminum in automotive applications. Additionally, due to its low density, aluminum is a lightweight metal which is witnessing increased preference in the production of military-grade weapons systems. Increasing investments from the military toward the development of the same is expected to be a significant driver of the market.

Restraints of the market include the adoption of magnesium alloys to substitute aluminum alloys. Magnesium has been observed to have a lower density than aluminum and has displayed higher strength in various similar applications.      

Market Segmentation
