DUBLIN, Jan. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Casting of Metals in South Africa 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report is on the casting of metals in South Africa, which produces finished and semi-finished products of cast iron and steel (ferrous metals) and cast non-ferrous metals.

It includes information on the state and size of the sector, influencing factors, trade statistics and developments and information on notable players.

The metal casting industry has been contracting over the last two year due to poor economic growth, high input costs, inconsistent supply of electricity and high levels of imports.

The value of metal castings exports declined in 2021 and employment in the industry has decreased. There is potential for increased demand for the industry's products from end users in the mining, automotive and energy industries.
