Value & Production Trends The Value by Nation and Total
Production Volume Trend tables are two new elements in this year’s survey. In an effort to provide a greater snapshot of the global cast- ing market, we asked national met- alcasting associations to provide estimated values for total produc- tion in five major categories. Five of the world’s top 10 cast-
ing producers were among the 16 countries that provided esti- mates. The U.S. with $36 million and Germany with $17.6 million topped the list. Also, considering recent eco-
nomic history and the effects of the recent worldwide recession, the Total Production Volume Trend provides perspective for each country by comparing present pro- duction with data from 2011 and 2008, the year before production totals were significantly impacted by the economic down turn. Global production continues
to exceed prerecession levels. The three largest casting producers in the world provided the most growth in the past four years, with China, the U.S. and India improving output by nearly 14 million metric tons. In Europe, meanwhile, the results continue to be mixed. In the western half of the continent, results tend to remain short of prerecession levels, with Germany, Italy and France still recovering. Eastern Europe, including Poland, Ukraine, Slova- kia and Hungary, have recovered lost production and boosted overall tonnage since 2008.
