Global Integrated Die Casting Market Research Report 2025(Status and Outlook)

Report Overview

The Integrated Die Casting process, particularly in the automotive sector, represents a significant innovation in vehicle manufacturing, first pioneered by Tesla. This process rethinks traditional automotive manufacturing by replacing multiple separate components with a single large die-cast part. By integrating smaller parts into one larger, more complex component, integrated die casting eliminates the need for welding and reduces the complexity of traditional assembly processes. The result is a more efficient, cost-effective manufacturing approach that can greatly reduce both material waste and production time, while also improving the overall performance of the vehicle.

In automotive manufacturing, the body in white (the basic skeleton of the vehicle) is a crucial stage in the assembly of the vehicle. This body typically consists of several hundred stamped parts, all of which need to be welded together, with some vehicles requiring 4,500 to 5,500 welding points. This traditional process often involves aluminum alloys for weight reduction, which come with challenges such as high thermal expansion, low melting points, and oxidation. These characteristics complicate the stamping and welding processes, leading to issues such as deformation and porosity. As a result, aluminum alloys have historically been more costly and inefficient to use in traditional manufacturing methods. However, integrated die casting addresses these challenges by allowing aluminum components to be cast in large molds, bypassing the need for stamping and welding altogether. This process not only improves the structural integrity of the parts but also reduces manufacturing costs and speeds up production.

The growth of aluminum die-casting and the evolution of integrated die-casting technologies are directly aligned with the automotive industry's shift toward lightweighting—an important strategy for improving fuel efficiency and meeting environmental regulations, especially as the electric vehicle (EV) market expands. As the demand for new energy vehicles (NEVs) rises, the use of lightweight materials such as aluminum alloys becomes increasingly important, positioning integrated die casting as a key enabler in the ongoing development of electric and autonomous vehicles.

In terms of business models, there are two main approaches currently being used in the automotive integrated die-casting market. The first is the OEM self-developed model, where Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) invest in die-casting machines, molds, and materials to build their own production lines for die-casting parts. Tesla, Xiaopeng, and Volvo are examples of OEMs that have pursued this model, taking a hands-on approach to the technology. By developing this internal expertise, these companies are able to control production capacity, reduce costs, and streamline their manufacturing processes.

The second model is the foundry partnership model, where OEMs source die-casting parts from established die-casting manufacturers. In this scenario, the OEMs purchase the die-cast components from suppliers, which are responsible for acquiring materials, producing the die-cast parts, and delivering them to the OEM. NIO (Weilai) and Li Auto (Ideal) are examples of companies using this model, allowing them to benefit from the expertise of die-casting manufacturers without the need for significant capital investment in production facilities. This model is often seen as a more scalable and financially viable approach for OEMs, especially in the early stages of adopting integrated die casting.

Looking ahead, the trend in automotive integrated die casting is expected to shift toward the procurement model, where OEMs increasingly rely on external die-casting suppliers. This shift is partly due to the financial pressures OEMs face, especially those producing electric vehicles, which require substantial investment in new production lines and infrastructure. Even companies like Tesla, which initially adopted the self-developed model, are moving towards partnerships with die-casting manufacturers as the scale of production expands. This evolution reflects a broader trend in the automotive industry, where outsourcing is becoming more common as OEMs seek to optimize costs and focus on their core competencies.

In terms of geographic trends, China has emerged as the global leader in integrated die-casting technology. Chinese OEMs, including BYD, Xiaopeng, and NIO, are aggressively pushing forward with integrated die-casting solutions, driven by both government incentives for the EV industry and the growing demand for lightweight materials in NEVs. The pace of electrification in China has outpaced that in Europe and the United States, where traditional OEMs have been slower to transition to integrated die-casting processes. However, European and U.S. manufacturers are gradually adopting the technology, with companies like Volkswagen, Ford, and General Motors making incremental investments in die-casting technology for their electric vehicle lines.

The supply chain in the die-casting industry consists of three primary stages: the upstream, midstream, and downstream. The upstream segment involves die-casting machines, molds, alloys, and supporting equipment, which are critical components in the die-casting process. The midstream is represented by the die-casting manufacturers that serve as tier-one suppliers to OEMs. These manufacturers design and produce the die-cast parts, which are then delivered to OEMs for assembly. The downstream segment consists of the OEMs, which incorporate these parts into their vehicles. The integrated die-casting process is not limited to automotive applications—while it is highly representative in the automotive sector, it is also being explored in other industries such as aerospace and electronics, albeit to a lesser extent.
