The global aluminum casting market size was valued at USD 90.97 billion in 2022 and is estimated to exhibit a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% from 2023 to 2030. The increasing use of aluminum in automobiles owing to its high strength and lightweight is likely to drive the market over the coming years. Nearly 30-40% of aluminum is being used per lightweight vehicle every year and is likely to reach 70% over the coming years owing to stringent regulations on reducing fuel emissions across the globe. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, the global sales of lightweight vehicles reached 17.385 million units in May 2019. Thus, increasing demand for lightweight vehicles on account of soaring environmental pollution, rising disposable incomes, and changing lifestyles of consumers is anticipated to boost the demand for aluminum casting.

Increasing demand for general utility and sports utility vehicles is anticipated to drive product demand in the U.S. For instance, according to the automotive consultancy firm, LMC Automotive, the U.S. is likely to have more than 90 mainstream SUV models by 2023. Moreover, automobile manufacturers in the country are under increasing pressure to meet the regulatory requirements pertaining to the environmental impact of vehicles. As per Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE), passenger cars are required to reach a fuel economy target of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2026 owing to the increasing emission of greenhouse gases, which, in turn, is anticipated to augment market growth.
