North America Iron Casting Market Analysis

Iron castings are crucial for the manufacturing of engine components, transmission to gearbox components, suspension systems, braking systems, wheels and rims, and other automotive components. Iron castings are also critical structural components used for the production of expansion joints, columns, beams, and trusses in the building & infrastructure industry. The production of precise and durable iron casting through advanced manufacturing processes enables the cost-effective production of critical automotive and construction elements. According to a 2022 report by the International Energy Agency, the sales of electric cars doubled in the US in 2021; the sales share increased by 4.5%, and 6.6 million units were sold in that year. According to the International Trade Administration data released in 2022, Mexico is the seventh largest global passenger vehicle producer, manufacturing ∼3 million vehicles yearly.

Nearly 90% of vehicles produced in Mexico are exported, of which ∼76% are exported to the US. North America also has well-established automotive producers such as Audi AG, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, Stellantis NV, Ford Motor Company, Honda Motor Co Ltd, Hyundai Motor Company, Mercedes Benz, and Volkswagen Group, as well as many original equipment manufacturers. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), in 2021, North America recorded vehicle production of 13.4 million units.

North America Iron Casting Market Overview

North America consists of major automotive, aerospace, infrastructure & construction, and machinery industries. According to the American Foundry Society, highly engineered iron castings are used to produce most of the manufactured goods and machinery. North America consists of more than 1,900 metal casting facilities. Further, foundries serve industries such as automotive, construction, agriculture, heavy industrial machinery, aircraft & aerospace, railways, and pipelines in the US, Canada, and Mexico. The rising demand for iron casting from several end-use industries is prompting manufacturers to plan expansion in the region. For instance, in 2020, a division of Raytheon Technologies Corp, Pratt & Whitney, announced its plan to invest US$ 650 million through 2027 in a turbine airfoil production facility in North Carolina, US. The production facility was planned to have an advanced casting foundry for the production of turbine airfoils. In 2021, Mitsui Kinzoku Die-Casting Technology America built a US$ 20 million facility in Georgia. Automotive products will be developed in this facility. In 2021, IBC Advanced Alloys announced its plans to invest over US$ 5 million to build a copper casting facility. Thus, the expansion of end-use industries and strategic developments by iron casting manufacturers in North America are likely to boost the demand for iron casting.

North America Iron Casting Market Drivers and Opportunities

Surging Adoption from Construction Industry Bolsters North America Iron Casting Market Growth

The construction sector is also witnessing growth in North America due to a robust economy and increased federal and state financing for commercial and institutional structures. According to a 2022 report by the USAFacts Institute, the federal government of the US passed the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act in 2021, allocating US$ 550 billion for new federal infrastructure, including the repair or rebuilding of bridges, roads, rail, and airports, for five years. A rise in investments by governments and private companies in infrastructure building & construction projects fuels the demand for construction materials, specifically iron casting. Therefore, the growing construction industry drives the demand for metal casting in North America.

Strategic Expansion Activities in North America

Metal casting manufacturers are constantly focusing on increasing their product offering portfolio and targeting new customer bases through geographical expansion strategies. Diversification in terms of geography reduces the company's dependency on specific locations for revenue generation and mitigates risk associated with market fluctuation. Companies seek opportunities to expand their geographic presence in several locations in North America. In 2023, Monomoy Capital Partners acquired the global iron casting supplier Waupaca Foundry Inc. The strategy aimed to increase the efficiency of manufacturing sites and raw material procurement in North America. In 2021, Kent Foundry planned a US$ 3.5 million expansion project to manufacture gray and ductile iron casting in the US. In 2021, The CA Lawton Co. acquired Penn-Mar, a gray and ductile iron foundry in Pennsylvania, US. Penn-Mar develops multi-cored, gray, and ductile iron casting ranging from 68 to 2,268 kgs. In 2021, Neenah Enterprises acquired an 18.7-acre manufacturing facility for US Foundry & Manufacturing Corp for US$ 17.43 million in Florida, US. Further, collaborative efforts with research institutions, universities, and other companies allowed iron casting businesses to access expertise and develop novel solutions. Therefore, strategic expansion strategies by several market players are expected to create lucrative opportunities in the North America iron casting market.
