DIE CASTING MARKET ANALYSIS

Rising demand for customized products requires manufacturers to reduce tooling costs and quickly switch production between parts, increasing operational complexity. Rising labor and material costs are squeezing profit margins, while the scarcity of skilled labor necessitates further automation, demanding substantial investment. Environmental regulations add to compliance costs due to the handling of hazardous materials and waste production. Additionally, supply chain disruptions, as seen during the ongoing pandemic, highlight the risks of single sourcing for parts, leading to delays and increased costs.
