The U.S. holds the largest share of the North American iron casting market on account of the widespread presence of numerous manufacturers and end-users in the country. Large-scale automobile plants, machinery & tool manufacturers, growing demand for pipes & fittings owing to the expanding petrochemical industry, and infrastructural developments are propelling the demand for the product in the country.
In November 2021, the U.S. government passed a USD 1 trillion Bipartisan plan to upgrade the infrastructure of the country, including water systems, airports, railways, power infrastructure, roadways, and bridges. This up-gradation of infrastructure is expected to be completed by 2025, which, in turn, is anticipated to propel the market growth in the country over the forecast period.
The growing demand for castings has boosted competition in the country, which is compelling market players to adopt initiatives such as capacity expansions and mergers & acquisitions. For instance, in February 2021, Victaulic acquired the ductile iron foundry of Waupaca Foundry, Inc. to increase its production capacity by 70% in the U.S. The plant has two foundry molding lines, which is expected to help the company produce at a much larger scale.
The automotive industry has been a prominent end-user of iron castings and dominates the market in terms of revenue and volume share. However, global vehicle production has been witnessing a consistent decline in the past few years, which is an ongoing challenge for the market.
