<strong>Turkish</strong> <strong>Metal</strong> <strong>Casting</strong> <strong>Industry</strong><br />
Continues to Invest<br />
and Grow<br />
The capacity utilization rate of the <strong>Turkish</strong><br />
metal casting industry in 2022 was<br />
72%, down 2% year-on-year. This decline<br />
was attributed to the orders for over<br />
30 new production lines on the ferrous<br />
casting side and over 100 new production<br />
cells on the non-ferrous casting side<br />
TURKISH METAL<br />
CASTING INDUSTRY<br />
Facts & Figures (2022)<br />
3.108.182 tons of castings<br />
8.5 billion Euros of total sales<br />
6.4 billion Euros of export<br />
4.5 million tons of production<br />
capacity<br />
in Turkey in the last two years, and the<br />
high capacity increases experienced<br />
as these lines started to be commissioned.<br />
For the last 3 years, the <strong>Turkish</strong><br />
foundries have been making significant<br />
machinery investments in order to meet<br />
the increasing demand for castings from<br />
abroad and orders for finished components/spare<br />
parts, and to comply with<br />
the new quality criterias.<br />
Growth was mainly driven by increases<br />
in non-ferrous castings production. Nonferrous<br />
castings production volume increased<br />
by nearly 13% to 740 thousand<br />
tons from around 650 thousand tons<br />
last year. On the ferrous side, gray cast<br />
iron production fell by 2% to around 900<br />
thousand tons, while spheroidal cast iron<br />
(ductile iron) production increased by 7%<br />
to nearly 1 million 200 thousand tons.<br />
