US and Europe Investment Casting Market
Description
Europe and US Investment Casting Market size was valued at USD 8.51 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 15.64 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period (2024-2032).
The market growth is driven by increasing demand for precision-engineered components across aerospace, defense, automotive, healthcare, energy, and industrial machinery sectors. Key enablers include advances in investment casting technologies such as sodium silicate and tetraethyl orthosilicate silica sol processes, growing emphasis on lightweight and corrosion-resistant materials (ferrous and non-ferrous alloys), and rising investments in aerospace and automotive manufacturing modernization. The adoption of investment casting in critical applications like turbine blades, valves, medical equipment, and engine components supports market expansion. Challenges include the complexity of high-precision casting processes and fluctuations in raw material prices.
Top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate and validate market size, with triangulation through expert interviews, financial reports, and secondary research. The market segmentation includes process types (sodium silicate, tetraethyl orthosilicate silica sol), material types (ferrous and non-ferrous alloys), applications, end-user industries, and geographic regions.
Europe and US Investment Casting Market Segments Analysis
The market is segmented by process type into sodium silicate process and tetraethyl orthosilicate silica sol process, with the latter showing higher growth rates due to applications in aerospace and energy sectors.
