量у֭平ЎѢ Production Per Plant


European countries saw total shipment values drop


European countries saw total shipment values drop. T e US , e U..S.., meanwhile, saw a slight bump in total value, gaining $899 million in comparison to 2013.


T e slight decline in the number of metalcasting facilities coupled with growth in overall production can only mean that metalcasters are producing more tonnage per plant. Facilities are able to fulfi ll demand with available capacity as underperform- ing facilities exit the market place. T e industry emphasis on effi ciency also helps explain how less are producing more. Germany remained, far and away, the nation that produces


the most castings per plant, shipping 8,818 metric tons per plant. T e U.S., No. 2 in average production per plant, produced 5,294 metric tons per site, a decrease of 828 from 2013’s fi gure. China experienced the largest growth in production per plant in 2014, thanks largely to the contraction of its met- alcasting facilities by 15%. Chinese metalcasters produced an average of 1,777 metric tons, up 294 tons from 2013. China and Italy, both with relatively diff erent metalcasting indus- tries, produce the smallest casting volume per facility. Brazil, due largely to its 10.7% drop in overall casting


production, experienced a signifi cant decrease in production average (229 tons per site), with its overall number at 2,043 tons. T e U.S. and Brazil were the only two nations in the top 10 to see a decrease in production per plant.


Metalcasting Trends in Global Production T e worldwide market expanded in 2014, but plotting this


year’s data against the total production fi gures from 2013 and 2009 can highlight specifi c trends. Global changes over the course of the last year can be seen in the world map on these pages. Countries in red experienced a decrease in total casting production, with the degree of loss shown by various shades of red. Similarly, blue signifi es a nation’s market expanded in 2014 when compared to the previous year. Russian and Asian markets grew modestly, with the


China, India and South Korea reporting growth rates below 5%. North America expanded slightly as a whole, with a 1.8% boost in the U.S. and a 0.7% increase to the north in
