The global trade in metal castings is estimated at US $ 10 Billion and is expected to multiply in the coming years. Advanced countries are confronting a marked change in the business climate and rise in production costs. As a result they are opting for large scale outsourcing to countries such as India, China, Brazil, Spain, Mexico and countries of the erstwhile Eastern Block. These countries are now adopting latest manufacturing techniques in order to meet the needs of the advanced countries.
Global Foundry Industry- Future:
Technology, Innovation and Human Skills will be the key drivers of the casting industry in the near future. Usage and advancement in alternate materials like composites and plastics are already a threat to the metal casting industry.
