In addition, expanding smart city initiatives is anticipated to continue to be a major force behind the trend mentioned above.

Market Overview

A manufacturing process called iron casting creates metal pieces with exact forms and inexpensive production costs. Grey iron, ductile iron, malleable iron, etc., are several iron casting types with highly varied structural shapes. Every casting is produced by melting an alloying component (often scrap steel) in the sand, creating molten metal that is subsequently forced into moulds. The complexity of the shape relies on the material type and if cooling is required during solidification. Cast iron products often have solid mechanical qualities like tensile strength and hardness. Still, they suffer from poor corrosion resistance because of the familiar presence of free carbon or other nonmetallic components like silicon carbide on their surfaces. Due to their qualities, iron and steel are utilized in large-scale endeavours. Iron and steel are commonly used in the building sector in steel cast pipes, cast iron beams, columns, sewer pipes, cisterns, and ducts. The rising demand for automotive items will primarily fuel the global iron and steel casting market.

Components for suspension, engines, cylinder heads, pistons, engine blocks, gears, and drivelines are frequently made from iron and steel casting. Government infrastructure spending will also offer the iron and steel casting industry many opportunities. Governments from all across the world are exploring efforts to develop their infrastructure. The industrialized nations are anticipated to invest in the upkeep and expansion of existing infrastructure projects. On the other hand, developing nations fund new programs' development. Large quantities of steel plates and other iron and steel casting products, as well as construction tools like loaders, are needed by railroads, ports, bridges, factories, and other industrial and manufacturing facilities. Therefore, increasing infrastructure development investments are anticipated to fuel the worldwide iron and steel casting market during the forecast period.

Segmentation Analysis

• In 2021, the grey iron segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 37% and market revenue of 569.0 billion.

Based on the type, the global iron & steel casting market is categorized into Grey Iron, Malleable Iron, and Ductile Iron. In 2021, the grey iron segment dominated the market with the largest market share of 37% and market revenue of 569.0 billion. The most popular variety of cast iron is grey iron, which is created by combining pig iron and limestone. When creating grey steel, hot-rolled coils are cold-drawn to increase their malleability because it has an intermediate carbon concentration and qualities that fall between those of malleable and ductile irons. The metal can then be rolled into sheets, which are strong enough but also simple to bend.

• In 2021, the automotive segment accounted for the largest share of the market, with 40% and market revenue of 615.2 billion.

Based on the application, the iron & steel casting market is categorized into Automotive Segment, Infrastructure & Construction Machine, and Industrial Machinery Segment. In 2021, the automotive segment accounted for the largest share of the market, with 40% and a market revenue of 615.2 billion. Due to its affordability and ease of mass production, the use of iron casting in the automotive industry has been growing over time. The structural elements of engine blocks and cylinder heads are made of iron casting. It can also be found inside the bodies of carburettor engines and gearbox housings, among other crucial components. Comparing cast-iron components to those produced from steel or aluminium alloys resulted in a cost reduction of almost 15% per car. Cast iron products are less expensive because they may be scraped down if there is too much metal left on them; this decreases production waste and lowers costs.
