Top five aluminium die casting machinery manufacturers in the world
The global aluminium die casting machinery market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7 per cent during the period 2016-2020. The aluminium die casting machinery is used to produce cast aluminium parts for applications in various end-user sectors which include automotive, aerospace and defence, marine, and many more.
The high pressure die casting segment was dominated the aluminium die casting machinery market in 2015. The segment accounted for about 70 per cent of the total market share.
Aluminium is the most widely used die casting alloy and finds place in every type of application because of mechanical properties. The aluminium castings are lightweight and can withstand the highest operating temperatures among all die cast alloys.
A rise in preference for light-weight automobiles is augmenting the need of aluminium die cast components. This is leading to a potential demand for aluminium die cast machinery.
The companies involved in manufacturing and supplying of wide array of aluminium die casting machine are investing huge amount in developing new technologies and in manufacturing facilities to stay cost-effective and competitive. Following are the top five aluminium die casting machinery manufacturers in the world. The list is based on current market report of aluminium die casting machinery available through open source.
