Key Drivers of the Foundry Chemicals Market

Aluminum cast parts are light in weight and have the strength of steel. The appearance and esthetic value of aluminum-made parts is also superior to that of other metal alloys. Also, aluminum cast parts are cheaper, and, as such, end consumers can buy high quality metal products at affordable prices. Castings made from aluminum are versatile, corrosion resistant, and can be used for different purposes. These qualities allow manufacturers to produce multiple products using aluminum parts. The finished products also have a longer lifespan, thus giving consumers more value.
The Middle East & Africa offers immense potential for investors operating in the foundry chemicals industry. The market size is small in the region; however, there exists vast potential for casting products due to the growth in the automotive industry.
Cast Iron to Offer Attractive Opportunities

In terms of metal, cast iron was a highly attractive segment of the global foundry chemicals market in 2018. The segment is expected to maintain its attractiveness in the foundry chemicals market during the forecast period, due to the easy availability and low production cost of these casting components.
Cast iron is a cost-efficient and strong metal. Hence, it is used in the production of components that are exposed to extreme mechanical stress.
Aluminum was a rapidly expanding segment of the global foundry chemicals market in 2018. Aluminum castings are prominently employed in automotive parts. Rise in the trend of using aluminum-cast automotive parts, led by their light weight, is expected to boost the demand for aluminum foundries in near future. This, in turn, is estimated to drive the aluminum segment of the foundry chemicals market during the forecast period.

Adverse Effects of Foundry Industry on Environment likely to Hamper Market

Stringent environmental regulations imposed on the foundry industry are adversely affecting the consumption of foundry chemicals across the globe. Environmental regulations for foundries are primarily related to the disposal of waste gases, wastewater, and mineral residues.
Raw materials such as additives and fuels are used during the production of casting parts. This leads to the emission of harmful gases. Dust from the process may contain metals and metal oxides. During the melting process, elements evaporate and tiny metal dust particles are released. Metal particles appear during the final processing.
BTX (benzene toluene and xylene) and phenolic emissions are associated with foundry operations, along with harmful gases. Thus, the adverse environmental effects of gases and chemicals are expected to hamper the global foundry chemicals market during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific a prominent Foundry Chemicals Market

In terms of region, Asia Pacific accounted for a substantial share of the global foundry chemicals market in 2018. It is expected to remain highly lucrative during the forecast period, due to rapid industrialization and rise in the demand for foundry products in automotive and aerospace industries in the region.

China is a key country of the foundry chemicals market in Asia Pacific, owing to the expansion of industries such as power transmission and railways in the country. China is a major hub for automotive products, which employ aluminum casting products due to their superior properties such as light weight and low cost over other metals.

Growth in the foundry Industry is considered one of the major factors influencing the development of the world's economy. India emerged as the second-largest producer of castings in the world (after China) in 2018. The foundry industry in India produces metal cast components for applications in auto, tractors, railways, machine tools, sanitary, pipe fittings, defense, aerospace, earth moving, textiles, cement, electrical, power machinery, pumps, valves, and wind turbine generators.
