Aluminum Die Casting Machinery Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The rising focus on industrial automation across the world is notably driving the aluminum die casting machinery market growth, although factors such as strong competition in mid-range machines market may the impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the aluminum die casting machinery industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Aluminum Die Casting Machinery Market Driver

??Rising focus on industrial automation across the world is a major driver fueling the aluminum die casting machinery market growth. Industrial automation is improving the bottom-line, operational efficiency, and productivity of manufacturers. Hence, manufacturers across the world have started preferring industrial automation. This is driving the demand for advanced die cast machines to meet the complex requirements of automated technologies. The increased focus on enhancing the manufacturing output in emerging economies is increasing the demand for industrial automation equipment. Emerging economies are working to create a positive environment for the manufacturing sector to increase net export. For instance, under the Make in India campaign, the Indian government is aiming to increase the share of the manufacturing sector to the country's GDP to 25% by 2022. Also, rising labor cost in prominent manufacturing countries such as China is increasing investments in manufacturing plants in other emerging economies. The rising investment to increase manufacturing in emerging economies is creating a significant demand for industrial automation equipment, which is a positive factor for the market in focus. Technavio expects that the demand for aluminum die casting machines for industrial automation will increase in emerging economies during the forecast period.

Key Aluminum Die Casting Machinery Market Trend

Growing global production of bauxite ore is a major trend influencing the aluminum die casting machinery market growth. The global production of bauxite ore is expected to increase significantly, by approximately 6% per annum, during the forecast period. This increase is expected as several new bauxite mining projects have been completed recently. For instance, Rio Tinto Group (Rio Tinto), operationalized its Amrun bauxite mine in Queensland, Australia, in March 2019. With this mine, the company plans to increase its export of bauxite ore by 10 million tons per annum (mtpa). In December 2018, Alufer Mining Ltd. (Alufer) opened its Bel Air bauxite mining in Guinea-Conakry. Alufer plans to reach a production target of 5.5 mtpa. The mining of bauxite in India is increasing rapidly due to a host of factors. For instance, the Government of India increased the lease area for the mining of bauxite from 10 square km (sq. km) to 50 sq. km in March 2016. The export duties for bauxite were also decreased from 20% to 15% in the annual budget of 2016/2017. Thus, the output of bauxite in India is expected to increase by 100% in 2021 compared with 2016. The increasing production of bauxite ore during the forecast period is expected to keep the price volatility of bauxite ore and aluminum and its alloys in check. This is expected to influence the market positively.

Key Aluminum Die Casting Machinery Market Challenge

The Global Metals Powder Market size accounted for USD 3.4 billion in 2016 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.2% from 2021 to 2028, owing to the increasing demand for metal alloy production globally. The major driving factor for this growth is the growing need to produce high-quality products with lower costs and shorter lead times.

A metal powder is a powdered material composed of particles of the element. It can also be defined as metal with less than 100 micrometers particle size range, having spherical or spheroidal shape, and being either dry or in an inert atmosphere. It refers to the metal particles in a raw, unprocessed state. The powders can be manufactured using several different methods and these vary depending on whether you want the spherical or irregular shape of the product, its size, and density, etc.

On the basis of Type, the market is segmented into Single Metal Powder and Alloy Powder. Alloy powder held the major share in 2016 due to its increasing demand for alloy production, especially from the aerospace, automotive, and construction industries.

Single Metal Powder:

Single metal powder is a solid material that consists of one single element. This type of product often has the same chemical and physical properties as its base metal, but with slight differences in size and density. Some examples include titanium, silicon carbide, Zirconium Oxide, iron oxide (rust), aluminum borohydride powder, or steel powders such as S-20 grade stainless steel particles.

Alloy Powder:

Alloy powder is a mixture of two or more metals. The alloy usually consists of at least one non-metallic element, such as carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O). Alloy powders are generally used to produce industrial components with enhanced characteristics such as strength and resistance to corrosion.

On the basis of Application, the market is segmented into Alloy Production, Agriculture, Polishing, Aerospace, and Others. Alloy production held the major share in 2016.

Alloy Production:

Alloy production is one of the major uses of metals powder in an industry where they serve to strengthen metals by adding hard particles called alloys. The addition of alloy powders increases the strength properties like stiffness and hardness. This allows manufacturers to design aircraft engines that can withstand extreme temperatures over extended periods while still maintaining their reliability.

Agriculture:

There are a variety of uses for metals in agriculture. One such use is the creation of an alloy powder which can be used to provide nutrients and minerals, preventing soil erosion and improving soil conditions. This also reduces waste products from livestock farming. Other uses include fertilizers made with metals like zinc or copper salts to stimulate plant growth by functioning as co-enzymes in the respiration and photosynthesis process; improving nutrient quality (such as phosphorus) uptake; reducing water loss through cuticular transpiration via stomata closure, and decreasing herbicide leaching into groundwaters. Aluminum oxide particles have been shown to increase arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi activity allowing plants to take up more nitrogen.

Polishing:

Metals powder is used in polishing as it provides a smooth finish to the product. The metal particles are ground into a very fine size and then mixed with water for further processing. When these powders touch the surface of the material being polished, they become activated by friction which helps remove any dirt or rust from its surface efficiently.

On the basis of Region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. The North American region held the major share in 2016 due to high demand from the aerospace industry and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 11% during the forecasted period. Latin America is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecasted period. Europe accounted for the second-largest share in 2016 and is expected to hold the second-largest market share during the forecast period.
