Market Overview

The global investment casting market was worth US$ XX million in 2021 and is estimated to reach US$ XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of XX % during the forecast period (2022-2029).

Even though investment casting has been utilized since the ancient Egyptians did so between 4,000 and 3,000 B.C., it wasn't until after World War II that its industrial significance and popularity increased because of the growth of the market for parts in the aircraft engine and airframe sectors. From the early days when clay was packed around the bee's wax pattern to ceramic shells and the introduction of special dewaxing ovens, lost wax casting has evolved.

Investment casting, also known as lost-wax casting, is an industrial manufacturing process that involves immersing wax patterns or structures in a refractory material slurry to form a ceramic, plaster, or plastic shell. The wax pattern is melted in a furnace to make a casting and metal is poured into the body. The process is widely used in producing machinery components, automotive components, turbine blades, dental fixtures, etc. It reduces energy, material and subsequent machining waste and it aids in creating intricate designs with accurate and smooth finishing.

The process has successfully cast parts up to 1.5 m in diameter and 1140 kg in weight in the past, though the specific component is less than 100 mm in size and weighs less than 500g. As a result, this process has a wide range of applications in the automotive, aerospace, military, medical and oil & gas industries. The increasing use of investment casting in the automotive and transportation sectors to develop advanced components such as engine parts, compressor components and gearbox components are expected to drive the market in the long term.

The high manufacturing cost of dies traditionally limited investment casting to large production quantities. Still, the introduction of additive manufacturing or 3D printing of wax patterns in recent years has eliminated the manufacturing cost of dies and allowed for shorter runs.

Market Dynamics

The growing aerospace and military industries are driving investment casting demand, as many different applications and parts of aircraft, helicopters and jets are produced through investment casting. The safety of the airplane depends on its hydraulic fluid system, landing and braking systems and flight critical and safety components.

Manufacturing costs, high energy consumption and other factors limit demand for the investment casting market. However, foundries are attempting to overcome these challenges by collaborating to develop advanced casting technologies based on simulations, which are expected to reduce shop-floor time and increase casting yield.

The rising demand for investment casting in various end-use industries

Because of its ability to make fine impressions and specified pieces with maximum precision, investment casting has become an important component of the industrial sector. Dairy, mining, pharmaceuticals and power industries require accurate stainless steel casting. Utilities like these have accelerated the growth of the investment cast sector. It also produces car components such as the fuel system, brakes, chassis and other body components. Thailand's expansion in the investment casting business can be seen as a parallel to the increase in vehicle production in various Asian countries like India.

In recent years, significant growth in the aviation and aerospace industries is one of the key factors driving the market forward. As a result, investment casting processes are widely used to produce military aircraft, jets, launch vehicles, helicopters and commercial transport vehicles. Furthermore, rising environmental consciousness and a greater emphasis on sustainable development propel market growth. The wax used in investment casting is usually melted and reused to make various shapes and sizes of components.

Technological advancements in investment casting methods

Other growth-inducing factors include improvements in casting processes through simulations and the utilization of metal additive manufacturing practices, all-in-one 3D printing, X-ray defect detection and casting and forging techniques. These processes aid in the production of products that are cost-effective, stable and structurally durable.

High initial costs and regulatory implications

High manufacturing costs and high energy consumption slow the market's growth. Because of the significant cost required, the investment cast method is not ideal for more extensive features such as airplane doors and panels. Sand casting, for example, is better suited for large-scale components. However, foundries are attempting to overcome these challenges by collaborating to develop advanced casting technologies based on simulations, which are expected to reduce shop-floor time and increase casting yield.

Regulatory consequences for the investment casting business have little impact on growth. The regulatory organizations are only concerned with the disposal of waste items. Dumping them into bodies of water is not a very healthy option because it poses a serious hazard to the flora and animals within the water. Furthermore, it has an impact on the ecological equilibrium. Various laws have been enacted to put a stop to such practices.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The COVID-19 outbreak had an immediate and severe impact on many industries worldwide. The pandemic put tremendous strain on sectors, resulting in a drop in global demand. With declining demand in mind, the companies rethink their post-pandemic strategies and operational plans. Because economies are slowly recovering, the investment casting market is expected to grow positively during the forecast period.

Segment Analysis

By type, the investment casting market is classified into sodium silicate and tetraethyl orthosilicate/ silica sol processes.

The sodium silicate process gradually gains popularity

Silica sol casting improves dimensional accuracy and surface finish while minimizing defects in investment castings. As a result, the process is more expensive than water glass casting. Silica sol zircon sand is costly and the preparation required is also more expensive, which is a significant reason for the higher prices. Because of its higher costs, the silica sol process is used in fewer foundries. The silica sol investment casting in automotive or industrial components costs around 6.5 US$/kg. However, this process may be preferred if the end-user is primarily concerned with casting quality and a low repair rate.

Compared to the water glass process, the silica sol process can create extra-large parts weighing 50-100kgs. The method is therefore utilized to create larger, heavier parts, including valve plates, impellers, diversion shells, pump bodies and ball valve bodies. Simultaneously, the process is widely used to produce extra small (2-1000g) parts that require high dimensional accuracy, such as those used in Asia-Pacific. Due to the ongoing efforts to improve the quality and dimensional accuracy of the components produced, the Sodium Silicate Process is gradually gaining popularity.

Geographical Analysis

Expansion of various manufacturing industries in North America

North America currently leads the investment casting market and is expected to do so in the future. The growth of North America is attributed to several factors, including the development of the manufacturing industries, particularly industrial gas, aerospace and defense applications and important defense aircraft and component producers in the area, like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and Northrop Grumman. With important aircraft programs like the Boeing 737, Boeing 777, Boeing 787 and Airbus A220 production facilities, aerospace manufacturing is a sizable business in the United States. The requirement for investment casting parts is anticipated to rise as the nation's manufacturing of military aircraft programs like the F-35 increases.

According to the American Automotive Policy Council, the automotive industry is the largest manufacturing sector in U.S., with vehicles and parts worth US$ 692 billion in the last five years. In 2020, approximately 8.8 million motor vehicles will be manufactured in U.S. In 2020, U.S. exported about 1.4 million passenger and light vehicles. According to the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada, the aerospace industry generated US$ 14.2 billion in revenue in 2018. The sector's value fell from US$ 24 billion in 2019 to US$ 24 billion in 2020. Some of the country's major aerospace manufacturers include Airbus, Boeing, De Havilland Canada and Bombardier Inc. Currently, aerospace company production has slowed, with 95 percent operating at partial capacity. De Havilland Canada intends to begin aircraft production in stages.
