Growing demand for lightweight and high-strength castings is driving market growth in the region. In addition, the region is characterized by a source of cheap skilled labor, making it the most profitable region for various industrial manufacturers, such as automobiles, to establish manufacturing facilities. Additionally, the shift in the global manufacturing landscape towards South Asian countries is expected to have a positive impact on market growth during the forecast period.
The market plays a pivotal role across diverse sectors like the automobile industry, consumer products, and military and defense sector. With a focus on fuel efficiency and reducing harmful emissions, aluminum die casting is gaining traction in transportation and telecommunication applications. The electronics industry benefits from its lightweight properties, while regulations drive demand in industrial manufacturing. As vehicle production rises, high-pressure die casting techniques ensure quality in producing tools and fittings for various applications. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Rising renewable energy initiatives is the key factor driving the growth of the market. Aluminum die casting is used to produce parts such as covers, housings, brackets, and structural components in onshore and offshore wind turbines. Aluminum die casting is used to produce structures and mounting frames for solar panels. These components must be lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and able to withstand weather conditions.
Additionally, aluminum's die-cast ability to produce lightweight, durable, and thermally conductive parts makes it a valuable solution to meet the specific needs of renewable energy initiatives. Therefore, increasing renewable energy initiatives will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Rising demand for electric vehicles is the primary trend shaping the growth of the market. In the electric vehicle market, to achieve high range with a given battery size and weight, reducing the weight of the electric vehicle is essential. Therefore, aluminum is the preferred material used in electric vehicles. The growing penetration of electric vehicles globally will continue to drive the aluminum die-casting market in the future.
Furthermore, according to the IEA, sales of electric and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are expected to increase significantly and account for 30% of the global auto market by 2030, compared to 4% of the 86 million vehicles sold in 2019. Hence, the increasing demand for electric vehicles will drive the growth of the market during the market forecast period.
Increasing the use of advanced steel for automotive body parts is a challenge that affects the growth of the market. Steel is by far the best choice of automakers around the world. To improve passenger safety and vehicle performance, reducing vehicle weight has become a top priority for companies operating in the automotive industry. Advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) is the fastest-growing material in the automotive industry and a key material in reducing the mass of vehicles.
Additionally, the most popular lightweight material that competes with steel is aluminum. The use of aluminum in the automotive industry has increased slightly. However, car body structures made from aluminum cost 60-80% more than car body structures made from steel. Therefore, the higher cost and lower durability of aluminum compared to advanced steels such as AHSS will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
