Mega-Casting in the Automotive Industry. 🚗 As the automotive industry evolves, #megacasting is proving to be a transformative force. OEMs are increasingly adopting this technology for new platforms, with Chinese manufacturers leading the charge. By 2030, we project that 25 million mega-casted components will be produced, with #China contributing 12 million of these.📌 Mega-casting will significantly impact the #automotive value chain. It will reshuffle the cards of traditional manufacturing technologies and will have significant impacts on many upstream and downstream businesses, including the automotive #Aftermarket 🔄 All players along the value chain need to identify risks and opportunities now to ensure to stay competitive.

Unlocking the Opportunities of Mega-Casting in the Automotive Industry. 🚗 The automotive industry is undergoing a major shift, driven by the rise of #megacasting. This transformative technology is rapidly gaining traction, with Chinese manufacturers leading the charge. 📈 📍 By 2030, the global market for mega-casted components is projected to reach 25 million units, with China contributing a substantial portion (12 million units) 🚗 🔍 This surge in mega-casting will have profound implications. Traditional manufacturing processes will face strong disruption, while demand for advanced machining centers will grow. Moreover, vehicle platforms and production footprints will become even more critical strategic assets. For players across the automotive value chain, navigating this evolving landscape requires a proactive approach. 📊 📌 Identifying both the risks and the opportunities presented by mega-casting is crucial for long-term success. #automotive #manufacturing #innovation #technology #casting Maximilian Wegner Bernhard Langefeld Dr. Rolf Janssen Florian Deichmueller 戴 帆安 Matthieu Simon Eric Kirstetter Roland Berger

Next up Financial Times #futureofthecar2024 is a discussion on rising protectionism in automotive facilitated by Imogen Bhogal joined by Ian Howells Abby Seadler Wulf and Jean André Barbosa. Time to view how cars can play a role in as part of an evolving mobility ecosystem rather than just being seen as a problem. We need regulation that takes account of what cities and rural areas need from mobility to help create a framework that meets the needs for all users. Experience in France and Japan shows that with good vehicle choice, incentives and regulatory frameworks there is demand for smaller #ev models. The current regulations in the EU make it difficult to profitably produce them for that market. Consumer choice alone would likely mean Chinese OEMs benefit due to the availability of resources and low cost base however there are socioeconomic reasons why it shouldn’t be left to consumer demand alone. OEMs are having to think longer term and in more depth about how, when and where they source the various elements of their supply chain. Calling an end to globalisation is not the answer as it brings advantages but will require modification. The semiconductor shortage highlighted how a narrow supply chain can have a detrimental impact so diversification of supply chain benefits everyone. Western OEMs are not afraid of competition as long as it’s on a level playing field and currently they aren’t sure that’s the case.
