Market Overview:
The global investment casting materials market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for investment castings from various end-use industries, such as aerospace, defense, automotive, oil & gas, medical and mechanical engineering. In addition, the growing demand for lightweight and high-strength materials is also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, the global investment casting materials market can be segmented into super alloys, steel alloys,, aluminum alloys,, titanium alloys and others (including copper and brass). Superalloys are projected to witness highest growth during the forecast period owing to their superior properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. By application,, aerospace accounted for majority share of the global investment casting materials market in 2017 due its stringent weight requirements across different aircraft platforms. Defense sector is also anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period due its increasing demand for advanced armor systems and munitions components.
Product Definition:
Investment casting is a manufacturing process that uses a ceramic mold to produce metal parts. The mold is made by coating a pattern with a refractory material, such as plaster of Paris. The pattern can be made from wood, metal, or plastic. After the mold hardens, the pattern is removed and the cavity in the mold is filled with molten metal.
Super Alloys:
Superalloys are a group of high strength and durable materials used in various applications. They possess properties such as high corrosion resistance, good electrical conductivity, and excellent thermal stability which make them suitable for use in power generation industries.
The global super alloys market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period on account of increasing demand from end-use industries including aerospace & defense, automotive and industrial machinery among others.
Steel:
Steel is a alloy of iron and carbon. It has many different grades, depending on the proportion of these constituents. The most common ones are low-carbon steel (LC), medium-carbon steel (MC), and high-carbon steel (HC). Steel can be used in Investment Casting Materials in two ways: as a raw material or as an ingredient for plastic or metal molding.
Application Insights:
The aerospace application segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 30% in 2017. The growth is attributed to increasing demand for lightweight materials, which are used in airframes and other components of aircraft. Titanium and aluminum alloys are widely used in the aerospace industry owing to their light weight properties. In addition, investment casting process allows production of complex parts with small number of components, reducing the overall cost associated with manufacturing an aircraft.
Aerospace is followed by automotive applications as the second-largest segment generating significant revenue for manufacturers across the globe due to rising demand from major end-use markets such as North America and Europe.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is home to several emerging economies, including China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam. Rapid industrialization coupled with increasing investments in infrastructure development has resulted in a surge in demand for investment casting materials from various end-use industries across Asia Pacific.
Europe accounted for a significant share of global revenue owing to high demand from automotive industry on account of rising vehicle production levels across major countries including Germany, France and Russia among others. In addition, growing oil & gas sector across Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe is also anticipated to drive growth over the next eight years or so.
North America emerged as one of the most promising regional markets during our research study period owing to increasing defense spending by U.S.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the automotive and aerospace industries
- Growing popularity of investment casting as a manufacturing process
- Rising demand for lightweight and high-strength castings
- Technological advancements in the investment casting process
- Growing demand from emerging economies
