Key Findings

COVID-19 Impact

Slowdown of End-user Industries to Hamper the Market Demand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the Cold box resin casting market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

COVID-19 affected all the major industrial sectors due to the sudden shutting down of the manufacturing unit and national and international borders.  The construction industry came to a halt as the infrastructure was put aside to focus on strengthening healthcare. Although healthcare infrastructure witnessed rising demands, however, there was a state of disbalance between the supply and demand in the market. The supply logistic was interpreted owing to many unavoidable factors. The availability of raw materials became a major challenge and the lack of human resources and capital strained the production. Moreover, there was a dearth of capital for research and development. As the normalization period starts, the chemical and construction industry is projecting higher growth the market is expected to improve in the forecasted year.

DRIVING FACTORS

Growth of Sustainable Foundry Process to Accelerate the Product Sale

The word 'sustainable' has achieved a high level of importance as many organizations are considering it as their primary objective in planning their manufacturing process. The technological advancement and the expanding infrastructure developments accompanied by intensified consumer demands have resulted in ignorant degradation of the environment. The recent occurrence of climate change has been an eye opener and the governments are compelled to establish stringent regulations to maintain ecological balance and promote sustainable living.

The consumer is becoming environmentally conscious and embracing eco-friendly products. The foundry industry is growing at an unprecedented rate and integrating the concepts of sustainability and making an effort to introduce efficient mouldings methods. The foundry industry consumes a large number of energy resources and emits harmful gases thus the legal provision is a binding force to change the manufacturing process. Cold Box Resin Casting technology is being constantly developed and pushing its boundaries to decrease the emission of harmful gases, low odour, increase productivity, and high strengths and reliability of the sands. Moreover, it is cost-effective and reduces production costs. The ecological advantages will be a major driving factor for cold box resin casting market growth in the forecasted year.

Increasing Demand from the Developing Countries to Boost the Cold box resin casting Market Demand

The foundry process is extensively used in the construction, automotive, power generation and jewellery industry.  The economic developments and rising demands from the emerging nations will be a crucial driving factor in the cold box resin casting market share.
