Global Die Casting Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global die casting market

Automotive manufacturers are encouraged to use lightweight metals for producing parts of an automobile due to various government regulations related to vehicle emission standards. Technavio’s market research report identifies that the increasing demand for lightweight vehicles to reduce CO2 emissions will be one of the primary growth drivers for the global die casting market till 2021. The automotive industry is focusing on the production of lightweight complex cast parts. These vehicles involve low production cost, less fuel consumption,  and low carbon emissions. They also compensate for the increased weight of electric batteries and additional drive elements in electric or hybrid vehicles. As a result, the demand for new aluminum die cast components and aluminum die cast machinery will increase, which in turn, will propel growth in the aluminum die casting market. Consequently, the need die casting process will also increase. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of almost 5% by 2021.
