Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global foundry tools market will post a revenue of almost USD 177 million by 2021. The rise in industrialization in APAC is identified as one of the primary growth factors for this market. APAC is the largest and strongest growing market for steel castings across the world. The demand for industrial steel castings will primarily be driven by the rapid rate of industrialization in countries such as China, South Korea, and India, which in turn, will propel the growth of the foundry tools market. Steel castings offer flexibility and improve the safety and reliability of construction. As a result, they are used in a wide range of applications in the construction industry. With massive investments by the government of countries such as India towards infrastructure development, the construction industry will witness impressive growth in the coming years. This will increase the need for steel castings, which will subsequently fuel the growth of the foundry tools market.
The emergence of 3D printing and casting is one of the latest trends that will contribute to the growth of this market in the forthcoming years. Technological advancements have been introduced in foundries for 3D printing in sand casting. For instance, Fusion Deposition Modelling (FDM) printers are being announced with the capability to use strong materials such as plastic filaments to replace the traditional CNC machined molds. These 3D printers are much more cost-efficient and time saving and can quickly adapt to design changes.
Owing to the presence of numerous small vendors, the foundry tools market appears to be fragmented. The constant rise in demand for cast parts in automotive, aerospace, and construction industries will drive the demand for foundry tools during the forecast period. Since foundry tools have a basic design, the scope for product differentiation is limited. As a result, foundry tool manufacturers are finding it increasingly difficult to differentiate their products from their counterparts, which makes the market highly competitive.
The leading vendors in the market are -
The other prominent vendors in the market are Crowder Supply, giba, Holmatro, Apex Tool Group, and U.S. Air Tool.
This market study estimates that in terms of geographic regions, APAC will be the major revenue contributor to the foundry tools market throughout the forecast period. The growing automotive production market in the region drives the steady growth of the casting industry, particularly in countries such as China, India, Thailand, and Indonesia. The growth of the automotive industty will to continue over the forecast period, which will further increase the demand for castings and foundry tools in this region.
Growth drivers, challenges, and upcoming trends: The introduction of simulation-based castings
Simulation-based castings are utilized to produce cost-effective, reliable, and high-precision components. These castings are used to increase the casting yield and reduce the shop floor time. Simulation-based castings can assist in creating a perfect, defect-free casting during the manufacturing process. These simulation-based models also help in reducing waste and help in lowering the operational costs. Precision in the final design also benefits end-users and is starting to become a standard in the casting industry. These advantages of simulation-based casting over conventional casting methods will drive its demand over the next four years.
