Solid outlook: Renewed construction activity and car manufacturing will drive growth

Ferrous Metal Foundry Products in the US

Cast away: The Ferrous Metal Foundry Products industry relies heavily on demand from other sectors of the economy, particularly manufacturing. The economic crisis hurt the manufacturing sector deeply, thus pulling down the demand for ferrous metal foundry products and consequently slashing industry revenue. After the recession, returning demand has been the primary reason for the industry's recovery. Major international markets will also support the industry's recovery. Continued stable growth in demand and steady steel price increases will improve industry performance in coming years.

Firms in this industry make iron and steel castings, either from purchased metals or in integrated secondary smelting and casting plants.
