According to a Research Report Published by Decisions Advisors & Consulting, The Canadian Metal Casting Market Size is Growing at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2025 to 2035. The market is driven by a need for accurately cast parts in transmission and engine systems, as well as growing investments in lightweight material technologies with outstanding mechanical qualities in the construction and industrial production sectors.

Market Overview

Metal casting is a manufacturing process that creates formed objects by dropping melted metal into molds. Essential for producing intricate parts in sectors, it provides high accuracy and affordable solutions. Metal casting is adopting low-emission melting (electric arc furnaces, hydrogen fuel) and recycled metal alloys to reduce carbon footprints. 95% reuse rates are currently attained by sand reclamation systems, and conventional chemical resins in sand casting are being replaced by biodegradable binders.

During that time, Canada bought 32,198 shipments of iron casting. Foreign exporters delivered these imports to 272 Canadian consumers, representing a growth rate of percent over the previous 12 months.

Riverside Foundry Inc. announced a purchase in May 2024 as a calculated attempt to improve its standing in the Foundation Group-served casting sector. Riverside Foundry Inc. is a non-ferrous material-focused sand-casting foundry.

Aluminium casting demand has increased due to regulations promoting lightweight automobiles. The average selling price in the metal casting industry is determined by the type, amount, and method of the material. Crankshafts, cylinder heads, and engine blocks are examples of popular applications.

Driving Factors

The metal casting market in Canada is driven by the requirement for metal castings in buildings, transportation, and government services. For large machinery, structures, pipelines, and bridges, metal cast parts are indispensable due to their durability. Smart cities, eco-friendly infrastructure, and public transit are all receiving funding from authorities. Another important development driver for the metal casting sector is the increase in investments in green energy infrastructure. A major trend in emerging economies' fast industrialization and urbanization is the incorporation of automation and robotics into foundries, which enables better worker safety, faster production, and uniform quality. The usage of lightweight metals in structural elements, engine blocks, and gearbox housings is growing.

Restraining Factors

The metal casting market in Canada is majorly restrained by the need to melt and mold the metal; metal casting uses a lot of energy and extremely high temperatures. The cost of gasoline, energy, and raw materials is rising. This raises the price of production dramatically and makes it challenging for companies to earn a profit.  Stricter environmental regulations on garbage disposal and air pollution are putting more and more pressure on foundries because of a serious shortage of skilled labor.
