The introduction of simulation-based castings is one of the key trends that will drive the growth of the
die casting market in the forthcoming years. The simulation-based casting process is used to produce
components that are cost-effective, have high-precision, and are reliable. This casting process involves
various benefits, one of which is that it ensures an easy and accurate fault detection. Simulation-based
manufacturing results in reduced wastage and operational costs. Additionally, they can also predict
defects and their location easily, and more precisely than the conventional method.

Gravity Die Casting is expected to Witness the Fastest Growth

The India gravity die casting segment registered a value of USD 236.26 million in 2018 and is
projected to witness the CAGR of 10.74%, during the forecast period.

Gravity Die casting is one of the oldest way of die casting. This die casting process is used for
producing accurately dimensioned, sharply defined, smooth or textured-surface metal parts. The
main advantage of gravity die casting is it’s high speed of production. The reusable die tooling
allows for many hundreds of castings to be produced in a day. High definition parts reduce
machining costs and superior surface finish reduces finishing costs.
  In March 2018, Endurance Group received the letter of intent for supply of aluminum
high pressure and gravity die casting parts for Hero MotoCorp’s requirement for their
Halol plant.
 Spark Minda, Ashok Minda inaugurated its third Die Casting plant at Pune, which will
be producing Gravity Die Casting & Low-Pressure Die Casting with machining for two
and four-wheeler products.
 Mahindra CIE has also entered in the gravity die casting processes

It has been accepted that, ultra-vacuum die casting produces better weldable automotive products than
most of the die casting processes. However, products produced in this process are large and require
huge-sized die casting machine, like 2,500-4,000 metric ton of die clamping force. This impacted the
popularity of the ultra-high-vacuum die casting process among OEMs and large die casters.
However, vacuum die casting production process eliminates the air from the mold and allows the front
of molten metal to merge freely without forming any shuts or pores, which is a major issue in pressure
die casting process.
A sudden shift from pressure die casting to vacuum may not be possible, due to the higher productivity
and ease of manufacture of the automotive die casting parts, which employ pressure die casting
method. However, this change is gradual and expected to continue to increase, during the forecast
period.
