Japan producing 5.54 million metric tons, Germany 5.25 million and Russia 4.2 million. Behind Brazil, South Korea (2.63 million tons), Italy (2.02 million) and France (1.73 mil- lion) round out the list. At first glance, the total number of metalcasting facilities
worldwide appears to have fluctuated wildly over the course of the last 10 years. At 47,145 for 2014, that total represents an increase of nearly 13,000 or 38.3% since 2004. But much of the up-and-down can be pinned to China’s rate
of growth over the past decade. Te world’s largest producer of castings saw its number of metalcasting facilities grow exponen- tially, from 12,000 to 30,000 in 2013. But recent consolidation and slower growth in the Chinese market caused that number to dip slightly in 2014, settling in at 26,000, which still accounts for 55% of all the world’s casting operations. Te North American market has continued its slight
decrease, with the U.S. dropping below 2,000 for the first time in the history of the World Census. Other established metalcasting nations, including much of Europe, also saw their total facilities decline modestly. Slicing the data another way, instead focusing on 2014’s
total versus that of five years ago, the global metalcasting industry has held steady in the wake of the economic reces- sion of 2009. Total production has exceeded post-recession levels, while the total number of casting facilities has increased by 1,104 since 2009. Increases in efficiency means existing operations are
producing more tonnage per site, though the casting industry may continue to contract in total number of facilities. Te combined total of this year’s production value by
nation is $198.7 billion, an increase of just less than $1 bil- lion. But when factoring in the addition of India—and its $18 billion in total production value—the 2014 total proves to be a significantly lower figure than 2013. Te growing global recession had plenty to do with this
drop in overall value, with China’s total shipments decreas- ing by more than $6.7 billion. Brazil experienced a difficult year with its total value dropping $3.2 billion when compar- ing 2013 to 2014. Germany, France, Spain and a majority of
