The global aluminum casting market held a market value of USD 61.29 billion in 2021 and is estimated to reach USD 108.65 billion by the year 2030. The market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. The market volume is estimated to account around 30,025.3 MT in 2021.
The surge in the demand for high-end automobiles, increasing inclination towards electric vehicle purchase, is fueling the growth rate of the aluminium casting industry. For instance, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, the global sales of lightweight vehicles reached 17.385 million units in May 2019. Moreover, the high military investments in weapon systems that are accessible and lightweight is also a major contributor towards the growth rate.
The rising strategic intiatives boost the growth rate of the industry. For instance, in June 2021, Rio Tinto partnered with Comptech to launch aluminum alloys which can be used in advanced technologies including electric vehicles and 5G antennas. Thus, such measures drive the market growth.
On the other hand, the high investment in setting up the machinery curbs the market growth to a certain extent. In addition to that, the replacement of aluminum alloys is also hindering the growth of the aluminum casting market.
The North American market for aluminum casting is projected to hold an opportunity of USD 7.85 billion during 2022 to 2030. Moreover, the Asia Pacific industry for aluminum casting is likely to hold the highest growth rate of 7.5% over the forecast period. In addition to that, the European region is anticipated to grow at a steady growing rate owing to the rising awareness and increasing demand.
The key four players in the market hold approximately 25% of the market share. These market players are investing in product launches, collaborations, mergers & acquisitions, and expansions to create a competitive edge in the market. For instance, in December 2018, Continental, a Germany-based automaker, capitalized USD 25.65 million for setting up of a premium surface materials facility in India. This facility would possess a production capacity of 5 million square meters.

Growth Influencers:
Rising military investment in lightweight weapon systems
The increasing military investment and government inclination is contributing heavily towards the growth of the aluminum casting industry. For instance, in April 2022, Landmark policy decision in India came up with indigenisation of weapons and platforms to speed up the Aatmanirbharta in defence industry in India. These weapons include highly complex systems, sensors, weapons and ammunitions, such as light weight tanks, mounted arty gun systems guided extended range (GER) rocket, next generation offshore patrol vessels (NGOPV), medium range anti-ship missile (naval variant), advance light weight torpedo (ship launch), and many other such equipment. The usage of such weapons will definitely increase the demand for aluminum casting.Growing electric vehicles market
The heavy increase in the electric vehicle sales creates demand for the aluminum casting market indirectly. Several public as well as private organizations are inclined towards purchasing electric vehicles. In 2017, Dubai purchased 200 Teslas to expand the city's airport taxi fleet, including Model X's. Such measures highlight the rising market which boosts the industry for aluminum castings.Segments Overview:
